Over 75 farm tours, hands-on activities, demonstrations, markets, and more planned across the Adirondack Region

Lewis, NY – This year, rather than a large one-day event, the Adirondack Harvest Festival will instead celebrate a week filled with events at farms, businesses, and community organizations around the Adirondack Region. Mark your calendars from Monday, September 13 through Sunday, September 19, 2021! The “Free Range” Open Farm Week is designed to give folks a chance to see for themselves how agriculture, wilderness, and community can work together toward a sustainable local food system in the Adirondacks. 

The Open Farm Week includes over 75 events ranging from free family-friendly farm visits early in the day to fine dining and spirit tastings in the evening. Just a few examples include: 

• Wine tastings and guided vineyard tours at Four Maples Vineyard in Champlain

• Pick your own pumpkins, corn maze, wagon rides, and petting zoo at Country Dreams Farm in Plattsburgh

• Birding hikes with Champlain Area Trails at Barred Owl Brook Farm in Essex, and at Ben Wever Farm in Willsboro

• Hot air balloon tether rides and Bouquet Bar at Mossbrook Roots Flower Farm in Keeseville

• Medicinal plant workshop and plant sale at the Plattsburgh Botanical Sanctuary

• “Featured Chef” Long Table Dinner in the garden at DaCy Meadow Farm in Westport

• “How to compost” workshop at Up Yonda Farm in Bolton Landing

• Victory garden tours at the Adirondack Experience, Museum on Blue Mountain Lake

• 4-H Youth horse, rabbit, and poultry shows at the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport

• And so much more!
