Yaphank, New York. On Friday, August 8, 2014 Long Island Farm Bureau and partners invite you to “Celebrate Grown on Long Island Day” at the Suffolk County Farm in Yaphank from 10am to 2pm.

Admission to the event is FREE.
While a one day event is fun and enjoyable for everyone, Farm Bureau encourages everyone to buy local throughout the season. We can't stress enough the importance of buying local every season. The local greenhouses, farm fields, seafood and vineyards are what make this region so special. The investment into our own community is vital for our region to flourish. Visit Farmstands, farmers markets, fish markets, greenhouses, local cheeses, breads and wineries and purchase from your local farmers.
