Saratoga County Farm Bureau
Jeremy Knight, President
Saratoga County Farm Bureau
gives farmers and non-farmers alike the opportunity to be part of an
organization dedicated to supporting and enriching the rural way of
life. It provides an opportunity for individuals involved in agriculture to join
together and
make their voices heard. We've also arranged discount programs with local businesses, including:
Allerdice Building Supply
Double M Western Tack
Nemec’s Farm & Garden
O’Dalaigh Farriery
Saratoga Sod Farm
Sunnyside Garden
Saratoga Hardware

We are active within the political
system on a broad range of issues that concern every rural New York
landowner, from taxation to conservation. We work hard to promote public
policy that protects an owner's right to use land. We believe that a
strong, viable agricultural industry is beneficial not only to our
economy, but also to our local communities and our consumers.
