Some NYS Information

I've been seeing a bunch of different ads for websites regarding farms, farming, organic produce, locavores, etc. and thought it would be nice to start actually looking at some of them as well as sharing them. If you find any you'd like added, please contact me.

Farm Broome
This site is still in its early stages, but appears very well thought out and I believe it will expand rapidly.
If you'd like to start a farm, have a farm that you'd like to have people know about, want to get into agri-tourism or just want the schedule for the local farmer's markets, this seems to be a good site to visit.

Buy From The Back Yard
This was started by both Cornell Cooperative Extension and a NYS Senator - Tom Libous. Again, it's kind of thin on content, but you can see how much agriculture is actually occuring in the Broome, Chenango, Tioga county area. Very interesting.
And if you have a small agricultural business, you can start a blog on this site in order to let folks know what products you sell and when they'll be available.
Trust me, it's worth it to get a little free advertising.

NY Farms
I've not looked at this one extensively - I only have so much eye-power per day to scan websites. Very rich and in depth. If someone else can review this one, I'd appreciate it!

Pride of NY
LOL - No, not a gay rights site. Pride in agriculture in NYS. Again, haven't review it. Will soon.
