We welcome you to the Madison County Milk House, hosted by Samantha Field the Madison County Public Information Officer.   This is where we talk about the big topics both North and South of Rt. 20.

Summer is here and that means Open Farm Day is just around the corner.  We sit down to talk about what to expect this year with Katie Livingston, she just started her role as Local Foods Educator at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County.  Open Farm Day will be July 26 and this year there are 28 farms you can visit across Madison County. Open Farm Day is a free, family-friendly event where you can tour local farms, meet the people behind your food, see animals up close, and explore the world of agriculture.

Make sure to get your passport, take part in the Goosechase interactive scavenger hunt, dress for the weather and bring cash! 

Also, the Madison County Fair begins July 23, running through July 27.  Make sure to check out all of the great things the 4H kids have been doing.
