We are fortunate here in the Northeast to have an abundance of agriculture, and hence, a wide variety of local foods. On Saturday, March 19, nearly 200 people gathered in Plattsburgh to enjoy a delicious meal prepared with local foods from Northern NY’s Clinton and Essex Counties. The event, “Food from the Farm: Eating Local in Clinton County,” was put on by Cornell Cooperative Extension in conjunction with Adirondack Harvest. Local chef and owner of The Great Adirondack Soup Company, Chris Dominianni prepared a meal that featured local meat, produce, fruit preserves, and maple syrup. Participating producers included: The Bakery at Conroy’s Organics in West Chazy; Campbell’s Greenhouses in Saranac; Caton Acres Farm in Saranac; Everett Orchards in Peru; Fledging Crow Vegetables in Keeseville; Gonyo’s Sweet Corn & Vegetables in West Chazy; Hid-In-Pines Vineyard in Morrisonville; Jubert-Castine Farms in
West Chazy; Northern Orchard in Peru; Parker Family Maple Farm in West Chazy; Quarry Garden Vegetable & Art Farm in Chazy; Rehoboth Homestead in Peru; Rulf’s Orchard in Peru; Saranac Valley Farms in Saranac; Shields Vegetables in Plattsburgh; Suprenant’s Berry Farm in Mooers; and Underwood Herbs in Plattsburgh.
