Plus, enjoy live entertainment by the Téssera String Quartet, featuring Liberty Central School District Orchestra Director Scott Glasser, Diana Marz, Brittany Robinson and Cassie Acquilano-Kochem, all of the SUNY-Orange Community Orchestra.

Catskill Harvest created The Slow Food Fair to educate the community about Slow Food Upper Delaware River Valley (UpDeRiVa) and Catskill Mountainkeeper. Their missions complement each other by linking healthy food to a safe environment. Both are integral to Sullivan County's long-term growth and sustainability.

Without sane environmental practices and clean water, Slow Food doesn't have a fighting chance.

Catskill Harvest will donate 10% of all Market proceeds brought in during The Slow Food Fair (12 noon - 4 p.m.) and split that amount between Slow Food UpDeRiVa and Catskill Mountainkeeper.
