Cornell Cooperative Extension of Essex County would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who made our 2024 Adirondack Harvest Festival a success! This event would not have been possible without the hard work of over 81 businesses and organizations, 42 volunteers, and 21 staff members.
We’d like to extend a huge THANK YOU to our volunteers, vendors, performers, partners, team members, and sponsors who made this year’s event possible.
It is our honor to facilitate this event, but the magic really comes from all of the amazing and talented people that have a commitment to the land they steward, their community, and the quality of the products the grow and make. We simply bring together and support the creative and passionate people who care about our local farms and their community.
Some comments from participants: “Best event all summer!“, “What a welcoming, clean, and upbeat atmosphere”, “Affordable, accessible and approachable”, “So much to do, see, eat, and learn!”. “I learned about so many farms I didn’t know about before”, “We will be back in 2025 with all of our friends!”.
We want to recognize Laurie Davis and Mary Godnick – the Adirondack Harvest program team who planned and coordinated the 2024 event! Also, a big thank you to the rest of the CCE Essex Team for their many days of hard work and support.
Much appreciation to Essex County DPW, Buildings & Grounds and especially fairgrounds manager Glenn Williams for his excellent troubleshooting capabilities.
WE WOULD LIKE YOUR FEEDBACK!
Please take a moment to complete our brief anonymous survey to help us continue to improve the Festival.
