PAST EVENTS: Burgers and NYALT at Johnny Angel's was a HIT! Even 2 feet of snow can’t keep NYALT supporters from a Great Burger! On Tuesday December 7th, nearly 75 supporters of farmland conservation braved the chilling temperatures and came out to Johnny Angel's Heavenly Hamburgers in Skaneateles. Owner Bill Lynn and his crew kept the burgers coming to raise money for NYALT's work with farmers across the state. For each Johnny Angel's burger purchased that evening, the restaurant donated $1 to NYALT. THANK YOU to Bill and his terrific crew for supporting NYALT and recognizing that farmland conservation is more than just another beautiful landscape; that it’s part of our community’s rural economy, heritage and quality of life.
______________________________________________________________________ Fall Barn Dance Supports Local Farming and Farmers Supporters of farmers, farmland protection and NYALT gathered together for a night of square dancing, polka and toe-tapping music at McMahon’s EZ Acres Farm in Homer Saturday night, September 11th. Over 125 people enjoyed the music of the central NY-based Rythmaires square dance band followed by the unique bluesy, rock sounds of the Homer-based band, Spilt Milk. Guests were treated to chocolate milk and cider, hot coffee, and donuts and cookies all donated by local businesses. Generous corporate sponsorship was provided by: Alnye Trucking, Cortland County Business Development Corporation, DairyLea/Dairy Marketing Services and Farm Credit Northeast Ag Enhancement.
