July 21, 2019The Tioga County Agriculture Resource Group (ARG) has been holding this event for the last 12 years, with the goal of educating both rural and urban landowners in the county by giving them an opportunity to spend a few hours on a working dairy farm. This free celebration of local agriculture brings the public to a different farm every year where they can enjoy locally grown foods and other products while experiencing the farm firsthand. They can meet the farm family and learn about agriculture from agencies and businesses.
TFamily-friendly activities include: the Tioga County dairy princess speaking about the benefits of local dairy and serving milk punch; free ice cream sundaes with locally made toppings; a vendors' market with various local foods and products for purchase; learning stations around the farm to educate the entire family on farm operations; and for the younger attendees a scavenger hunt that they can complete and win a prize.
