CCESO is immensely grateful for the contribution that every participating farm makes to Family Farm Day (FFD), a highly anticipated signature agritourism event in our region. Each farm operation is unique. As an education-based organization, CCE Schoharie-Otsego & CCE Delaware strongly encourage farmers to use FFD as an opportunity to educate visitors about your farm, animals, and products. FFD is a special day and an opportunity to connect the public with agriculture. FFD also provides local farms and related businesses with the opportunity to introduce current and new customers to diverse, high-quality products, generate and boost farm sales, build long-term customer bases, and share the ever-evolving farm stories that keep the importance of agriculture in the public dialogue. “Our signature agritourism event continues to thrive,” said Liz Callahan, Executive Director for CCE Schoharie and Otsego Counties. “The feedback from participating farms and visitors has been overwhelmingly positive over the years.”
