This annual event is now officially called the Harvey Skeele ON Farm Fest, in honor of the late Harvey Skeele. Harvey was the Onondaga County Agriculture Council co-chair for many years and helped create both the Onondaga Grown campaign and the ON Farm Fest event. As a retired dairy farmer, Harvey had hosted thousands of visitors at his farm in Fabius. He loved to introduce people – especially children – to the world of dairy farming. Harvey‘s passion for agricultural outreach is reflected in the ON Farm Fest event, and in every interaction that takes place between farmer and visitor.
