Message from the Executive Director

Hello friends of Extension and 4-H community!

With the Sullivan Fresh and Sullivan Catskills Farmers’ Markets in full swing across the county, we hope you’re taking the season to enjoy all the locally grown fresh fruits, veggies, dairy, poultry, livestock and grains that Sullivan County farms have to offer! We live in such an agriculturally rich community and it’s easy to forget that sometimes in the off season. Please get it while you can! For more information on farmers’ markets across the county please visit https://homegrownwithheart. com/ for days, times, locations, and vendors!

With August here, we’re looking forward to the Annual Sullivan County Youth Fair, hosted with our friends from the Neversink Agricultural Society at the Grahamsville Little World’s Fair August 19-21. Please come support Sullivan County Youth and over 100 animal and still exhibits!

In addition, please save the date for our 109th Annual Meeting, a good old fashioned mixer, tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, October 26th at 6:00pm!

Lastly, we anticipate several openings on CCE Sullivan Program Advisory Board and Board of Directors in 2023. Please contact Colleen at cm638@cornell.edu or 845-798-1258 if you are interested in serving a three year term.

As always, thank you to our membership for your enthusiastic support as we continue Extension work in Sullivan County!

Enjoy these dog days of summer.

My very best, My very best,

Colleen Monaghan Executive Director, cm638@cornell.edu
