Every year we buy plants at wholesale from Tony & Mary's Spring Plants on Route 67 and then sell and distribute them to Head Start families for an even lower price. We're very proud of this program that gets people gardening.

Homesteading event going on now at the 4H training center! We are here until 3pm.

09/19/2016

"The free, day-long event will take place at the CCE’s 4-H Training Center at 556 Middleline Road, and it will include educational talks and demonstrations on topics ranging from blacksmithing and bee-keeping to gardening, food preservation, and care and feeding of livestock. Representatives from John Deere, Kubota Tractors and Stihl Chain Saws will be on hand to help neophyte “homesteaders” as well as seasoned farmers and food producers decide what type and size equipment will work best for the scale of their operations. Experts from Cornell Cooperative Extension and Hoosic Valley Farmers’ Exchange will offer programs on horticulture, livestock nutritional needs, and even how to cultivate mushrooms.

There will even be an internationally renowned biologist conducting “Woods Walks” to educate people on the numbers and types of amphibians that are indigenous to our region."

MILTON >> When the town of Milton modified its zoning two years ago, it meant that a lot more people could raise hens on their property. On the surface of it, that doesn’t sound like big news.
