Columbia County Ag Brunch

The Annual Chamber Agricultural Brunch will be held on March 17 at Hudson Park.  Don't miss this opportunity to learn, network and taste some great local fare. 

The Agricultural Brunch has become the premier event for county residents who are involved in or concerned with our local farms and food system. This year’s brunch will again offer people a chance to network and learn about programs that promote a local food system, focusing on the topic of distribution.

This year’s keynote speaker is Trevor Clatterbuck, co-founder of Fresh Fork, a local food distribution system in Cleveland, Ohio. Also on the agenda are updates on various Columbia County agricultural initiatives from Columbia County Bounty, Hudson Valley AgriBusiness Development Corp. and Columbia Land Conservancy.

The Chamber's Agricultural Brunch is now the premier who's who event among the farm and restaurant community. Last year the event was sold out, and a huge success.
