Farm Families Keeping Food on the Table in Utica Rome
They don t have long commutes, punch a clock when they arrive at the job, and there is no work week or weekend. Farming is 24-7, 365. Here are some of the Central New York farmers keeping the food on tables in Utica Rome.
We ve joined with White s Farm Supply to salute the hard working families doing what they love, caring for animals and being good stewards of the land. As a way of saying thanks, Louis J Gale and Son Feed Mill in Waterville provides a farm with a $100 gift certificate.
This tale may seem familiar if you know the storyline behind the TV series Green Acres, city people moving to the countryside to start a farm. The big difference is the Brovetto family had a lot more on the ball than TV farmer, Oliver Wendell Douglas.
Ron and Corrine Brovetto along with their four young children pulled up stakes on Long Island in 1972 and moved to Harpersfield, NY to start a dairy farm. Ron was an engineer and Corrine was a nurse before the move, which if you think about it, may be the perfect background for the transition, inventive and caring.
