Support Chautauqua Grown This Winter

JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (December 12, 2022) -- Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County’s Agriculture Program encourages you to purchase your Christmas tree from one of our fabulous Chautauqua Grown producers! Purchasing locally sourced goods for your holiday needs is a great way to help support local producers even in the winter months! For more information on where to purchase locally sourced trees or even hams, turkeys, or lamb for your holiday meal please visit our Chautauqua Grown directory at https://chautauqua.cce.cornell.edu/chautauqua-grown.

Purchasing a local tree is easy, affordable, and helps support our local agriculture industry. Throughout the county there are many local places to pick up a beautiful tree. A few local places that you might have purchased produce from during the harvest months that also have Christmas trees available are: Haff Acres Farm in Mayville and Yerico Farms in Dunkirk. Abers Acres in Kennedy and Scotts Farm and Greenhouse in Sinclairville both offer pre-cut and cut your own trees as well! Cherish an old family tradition or start a new one and check these trees out!

Another way to support local this holiday season is purchasing meat from local producers. A lot of them offer by the cut pieces from their farm stands or coolers on their properties. Check out our website and find one that works for you! You can also find a lot of our producers on Facebook where they provide updates frequently on what is available or if they have any ongoing sales!

Thank you for supporting local and Chautauqua Grown this holiday season. For more information, contact Cassandra Skal by calling 716-664-9502 ext. 202 or cks83@cornell.edu.
