The Cattaraugus County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board, along with the Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism, the Cattaraugus County Farm Bureau, the Cattaraugus County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board will host the 12th Annual Cattaraugus County Farmer-Neighbor Dinner on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at the West Valley Fire Hall, 9091 NY 240, West Valley, NY.
Cattaraugus County is home to a vibrant and diverse agricultural industry in which good communication is essential to developing and maintaining good relationships between farm and non-farm neighbors. The Farmer-Neighbor Dinner (FNDinner) event is a way to bring the County’s farmers and their neighbors together for a night of fellowship and understanding. It will also be a way for the County’s farmers and businesses to showcase what they have to offer each other.
Most of the dinner, appetizers, desserts and beverages are prepared from locally grown items from around Cattaraugus County and surrounding areas.
At the 2023 dinner there were over 350 attendees and over 20 sponsors & exhibitors. At the 2023 F.N. Dinner, there were over three hundred attendees with sponsors and exhibitors.
