Columbia County Bounty is first and foremost a Mission of the Heart.

It was conceived and given life by people who share a passion for “the need to feed” - who understand that fresh, local food is healthier for our bodies, for our environment, for our local economy, for our community, for our family-run, independent farms, exquisitely beautiful open spaces…

…and, quite frankly, it just plain tastes better!

Every time you spread a dab of creamy local butter on your neighbor’s freshly harvested sweet corn, you are contributing to a more self-reliant, sustainable, local “foodshed”. Every sliver of spicy local garlic you toss into your delicious, homegrown tomato sauce is not only a spectacular taste treat for your family, but also a decisive vote for a healthier local economy and stronger farmland preservation policies.

So many levels of joy from just a single bite of a Columbia County apple!

All of us at Columbia County Bounty are deeply grateful for your continued encouragement and support. We look forward to sharing our exciting new tastings, events, and programs with you and wish everyone a happy and healthy harvest for 2008!
