SUNY New Paltz Has Farm Fest

The Farmers Market moved from its usual spot on the Academic Concourse to Old Main Quad for Farm Fest on April 25. SUNY New Paltz’s organizations, Students for Sustainable Agriculture and Oxfam America, held the event. The ceramics department provided vases, mugs and pottery for sale all made by students. Other activities included tie dying, face painting and yoga. The Acorn Hill, Brook Farm, and other local farms sold eggs, goat cheese, local dairy, vegan baked-goods, herbal teas and leafy greens. Many students came out to Farm Fest to enjoy the warm weather and local food.
