Durfee Farm to Participate in Buy Local Day

Caption: On the Durfee Farm in Chittenango, young farmers for the day feed “Lixy” a half gallon bottle of water. Lixy is a month-old Holstein calf.

Caption: Steve Durfee has picked sweet corn for the Durfee Farm Stand since he was 5 years old.

The Durfee family presents a friendly, meticulously-cared-for herd of top-producing Holstein cows, and a produce stand that sells sweet corn, tomatoes, honey from hives on the farm, & many other farm-fresh items. Durfees celebrate Buy Local Day with half price corn, food samples, honey demos, & cow encounters.

Buy Local Week (August 17-23) is an initiative developed by Madison County’s Agricultural Economic Development Program and the Cornell Cooperative Extension. Feast your taste buds on New York State grown apples, blueberries, peaches, asparagus, beans, broccoli, and a host of other fruits and vegetables.

Open Farm Day on Saturday August 22^nd is a chance to get up close and personal with the men and women who produce the food we eat. Visit a farm and experience first-hand what farm life is like. There will be farm activities and demonstrations, farm animal petting, barn tours, farm-raised products for sale, samples to taste, and much more.

This year over twenty farms are participating.
