Empire Farm Days says it is the "largest outdoor agricultural tradeshow in the Northeastern U.S." Lancaster Farming s Stephanie Speicher describes her first time at the event.
Just like concerts and car shows, very few in-person farm field days have been held over the past year and a half. It all changes in just a few days when farmers and industry professionals and dealers gather as the Empire Farm Days’ gates open in nearby Pompey, NY.
Empire Farm Days will be held from 9 am to 4 pm Tuesday, August 3 through Thursday, August 5 at the Palladino Farms and Heritage Hill Brewhouse in Pompey. The twenty-three hundred acre beef and crop farm last hosted the event in the late 80 s.
Community nonprofits, such as 4-H, FFA, the local fire department and historical society and more, will be manning the food booths for the event, all of which feature food from the on-site Heritage Hill Brewhouse.
