🌿 Mission Statement: Farm to Table Tour
Our mission is to connect the public with local farmers while also strengthening farmer-to-farmer support. We believe in building a thriving agricultural community through education, awareness, and collaboration.
By sharing stories, showcasing farm practices, and offering digital tools and events, we help consumers better understand where their food comes from—and we create opportunities for farmers to learn from one another, support each other, and grow together.
This is more than a tour—it’s a movement to connect, uplift, and empower our entire local food system.
Farm To Table Tour History
In December of 2021, at a family wedding filled with laughter and love, Erica and Becky found themselves in an unexpected but fateful conversation. Between songs and celebration, they discovered they were both dreaming of something bigger: launching a store rooted in local pride and community spirit.
That moment of shared inspiration sparked something more than just a casual chat. Soon after, they met for their very first “official” meeting—at the Recovery Room in Amsterdam, NY. Over coffees and ideas, the vision came into focus: connect farmers with each other and with the public, celebrate the incredible agricultural work happening right here at home, and help everyone—from curious consumers to seasoned growers—understand where their food comes from.
Just a year later, the first Farm to Table Tour rolled out in 2022, starting with a handful of participating farms and a whole lot of heart. Since then, the tour has grown each year, not just in numbers, but in meaning—bringing together neighbors, growers, and entire communities in a shared celebration of local food and the people who make it possible.
