10:00:amFulton Montgomery Farm to Table 2024 Season Kick-Off!
Fulton/Montgomery Farmers set for the 3rd annual Farm to Table Tour beginning Sunday, July 28th*Visit participating farms and farm stands throughout Fulton and Montgomery Counties this entire harvest season!
FULTON COUNTY/MONTGOMERY COUNTY – During the peak of summer harvest, local farms will welcome visitors, to showcase and sell products, provide tours, and host other farm specific activities and demonstrations at the 3rd annual Farm to Table Tour, scheduled for Sunday, July 28th, from 10am-4pm.
This is a “self-guided” tour, meaning you choose your route and the farms you wish to stop at in Fulton and Montgomery Counties. Maps will be provided on-line and in-person to help guests plan and navigate their day.
Co-Chair Erika Gogis says: “In a world that is 6 generations removed from farming, the Farm to Table Tour is the perfect opportunity for folks to get back to their roots! No matter your food preferences, the Farm to Table Tour will surely link you up with a local farmer or small business that has goods you’re looking for.”
Gogis is the CEO/owner of the Plaid Farm Store, located on 6419 State Highway 30, Amsterdam. The Plaid Farm Store carries a variety of baked goods, produce, and meats all sourced from local businesses and farmers.
The Farm to Table team is extremely excited to build on the success from the last two years and showcase their farms and products. The goal is to create lasting farm to consumer relationships and provide education on the importance of local agriculture.Co-Chair Rebecca Ferry says: “People have learned that big stores might not have what you need. Farm To Table Tour will introduce you to your neighbors that have been there for years that you might have missed and build new relationships you can trust and value for the future.”
Ferry is the Owner/CEO of Dreamroad Farm Store, located on 193 LaGrange Road, Johnstown. Dreamroad features local products and beef and pork from their own farm on property, and items from area farms.
The Plaid Farm Store and Dreamroad will be participating in the event, along with 35 more farm to table businesses. This makes for our largest group yet with 37 total farms ready to host consumers and friends.

6:00:pmSVAN Presents: Big Fez & the Surfmatics at Northville Waterfront Park
Big Fez & the Surfmatics
Sponsored by: Music Hero Fulton County Center For Regional Growth
Johnny Fez is an indirect descendant of Hawaiian legend Don Ho (his Aunt Heidi was Don Ho’s third wife). Johnny was born under a Chinese Fan Palm tree on the island of Taratupa and learned to play the ukelele listening to old 78 records that he would buy from merchant sailors. For many years Johnny toured with an all-girl ukelele orchestra before dedicating his life to surf music. Early in his career, he was one of the first guitarists to use a 12 string guitar in surf music. Johnny hooked up with the Fez boys at a beach party, and they played their first song together while sitting around the campfire. He is the creative force behind the Surfmatics’ international success. Johnny has been rockin’ in the summer sun with the Surfmatics ever since, singing about the surfing life.
