Kickstart local agricultural programs
How to invest in local business with delicious returns
There are currently two Kickstarter campaigns for two Long Island Ag businesses that could use a little promotion and we have decided to give them a hand:
John Condzella, a fourth generation farmer, is growing Hops in Wading River and is in desperate need of a hop picking machine.
Keith Luce, also with a farm and from Luce's Landing restaurant in Jamesport, has livestock, but is is trying to raise $ for equipment to specialize in smoked meats and charcuterie,etc.
If you feel so inclined, please give them a little boost.

Winter Farmers' Market
Indoors at Jack Abrams School, Huntington
G&G Winter Markets is hosting its indoor Winter Market at Jack Abrams School, 50 Tower Street in Huntington Station. The Market is open every Sunday from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm, through April 28, 2013, and will feature local and organic produce from four Long Island Farms using season extension and hydroponic growing techniques as well as vendors with local artisanal breads, cheese, dairy products, fresh pasta, and much more.
Cooking demonstrations, talks by local authors, and other presentations will be a feature of this market.
“It is going to be a wonderful season full of new beginnings,” said Lona Graepel, Market Organizer. “With many of the vendors sourcing ingredients from the New York region this is good news for local producers as well as the community. This weekly event will be located in the gymnasium; a space that will allow the market to grow significantly and easily accommodate craft tables for children, live music by local musicians, and a place for the whole community to reconnect in a family-friendly atmosphere, while at the same time support local farmers and budding local entrepreneurs.”
