Sundaes on the Farm

July 21, 2019


The 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.

Memoir Reading: Barn Gothic

December 4, 2025
Bath, NY

Barn Gothic is an elegy for family farmers and an intimate portrait of three generations laboring to be fathers and sons while their livelihood falls apart. Beautifully told with a farmer's restraint and a poet's grace, it is a story of personal loss amid corporate corruption and of finding a way forward when everything you know disappears.

NY Small Farms Summit 2025: Stronger Together

December 5, 2025
Alfred, NY

We hope you will join us on December 5th for the 2025 New York Small Farms Summit! This is an opportunity to meet other farmers and ag supporters, learn about research and education projects, and set priorities for future efforts to grow small farm success.

At the Allegany County site, we will focus on giving trees a chance and how trees build resiliency on small farms. Whether attracted to fruit, nuts, vegetables, fodder or shade, trees can be an integral part of a successful farming system. Join us as we explore the opportunities for resiliency that come from adding tree crops or managing wooded areas of your farm for agroforestry or silvopasture systems.
