The Onondaga Agriculture Council held the 8th annual ON Farm Fest on September 21st, 2024. (Next year’s event date will be announced in spring of 2025.)  Thousands of visitors enjoyed a free day of family-friendly fun as local farms across Onondaga County opened for tours from 10am-3pm. At ON Farm Fest, you’ll learn about life on the farm and discover the latest advances in agriculture. Many farms have local products and food for sale, live music, and interactive exhibits. 

SAFETY INFORMATION: Please leave your dog at home. You must stay with your tour guide at all times as these are working farms and many areas, equipment, and animals can be dangerous.

This annual event is now officially called the Harvey Skeele ON Farm Fest, in honor of the late Harvey Skeele. Harvey was the Onondaga County Agriculture Council co-chair for many years and helped create both the Onondaga Grown campaign and the ON Farm Fest event. As a retired dairy farmer, Harvey had hosted thousands of visitors at his farm in Fabius. He loved to introduce people – especially children – to the world of dairy farming. Harvey‘s passion for agricultural outreach is reflected in the ON Farm Fest event, and in every interaction that takes place between farmer and visitor.
