NO FARMS NO FOOD LOBBY DRIVES HOME THE MESSAGE FEBRUARY 15 ALBANY

February 15 2012

Lobbying for farmland protection, and advocating that the connection between supporting farmers and food production produces a strong economy was an easy sell to Legislative Representatives. As with  most farm related events, meeting new friends and learning about their farms, businesses and accomplishments is the best part of the day.

Emily Deans, Agricultural Co-ordinator for the Catskill Mountainkeeper, Y oungsville, New York, on the right makes the acquaintance of veteran dairyman, Tom Hutson who farms in the Catskill Watershed, in Hamden, New York. Tom Hutson won the American Farmland Trust Award in 2006 as The Steward of the Land. http://www.farmland.org/programs/award/AmericanFarmlandTrustStewardoftheLand-Winners-2006.asp

Elizabeth Beals, from Beth’s Farm Kitchen http://bethsfarmkitchen.com/,  a food processing business in Stuyvesant, New York advocated support for the Buy From the Backyard Act S.2468 and the continued expansion of the NY Fresh Connect program to enhance the use of food stamp benefits at local business and farmers markets. Beals remarked that once that program began, farmers reported a noticeable increase in their businesses and demands for local food from often underserved New York consumers.

 During an excellent lunch of New York State produced food we heard remarks from Todd Erling, Executive Director Hudson Valley Agribusiness Development Corporation and Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy. The meeting was led by David Haight, New York State Director of American Farmland Trust and organized by the Hudson Valley staff.

 Again the most interesting stories were the success stories of the three successful farm businesses who explained how the demand for their products are the rewards for the hard work put into developing, planning and farming in New York. We heard from  Melissa Stagnaro, Chobani/Agro Farma Inc.   Norwich, New York   http://www.chobani.com/ Chobani yogurt, in a few years, has grown from a 5 person employee business to over 1,000 employees today. AND THE ORIGINAL 5 EMPLOYEES STILL WORK FOR THE COMPANY!  NOW THAT’S WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FOR YOU!

Jessica Applestone of Fleisher’s Grass-fed & Organic Meats in Kingston and Brooklyn, New York told how she and her husband Josh developed a “real” butcher shop focused on selling sustainably raised local meats. http://www.fleishers.com/

Dale IIa Riggs, farmer and owner of The Berry Patch  of Stone Wall Hill Farm in Stephentown, New York http://www.theberrypatch.net/views.html  explained how she grew her little business from a roadside stand to an almost year round farm market and tourist destination.

It was a great day, and left Emily Deans and I a great deal to talk about on the way home.
