The 3rd Annual Mohawk Valley Market is slated for Saturday, Dec. 6 in Fultonville. The Montgomery County Agriculture Economic Development Project and Cornell Cooperative Extension are sponsoring this one-day event showcasing local farmers and producers throughout Fulton and Montgomery counties.

Creek’s Edge elk farm has an extended list and now offers pre-cooked elk meatballs.
