New and beginner farmers are invited to this year-end Harvest Celebration at the farm of Eleanor Blakeslee-Drain. Along with thanking all who contributed to the the group's programs this year, we'll plan the 2013 CRAFT schedule. Visit with friends, farmers and mentors one more time before the frost. Gather 'round a potluck dinner of fabulous local foods and bring a dish to pass! Carpool will be available; email [email protected] or call (914) 720-1020.
