Assemblyman John Lemondes (R,C,I-Lafayette) is pleased to celebrate the success of the annual Empire Farm Days, which returned to the Heritage Hill Brewhouse and Palladino Farms in Pompey this past week. This annual festivity attracts thousands of families across New York state for a fun filled day of music, food and other activities for the family to enjoy. As the largest agricultural trade show in the northeast, the event showcases and celebrates the agricultural industry and its significance in the state of New York. 

“Every year, the Empire Farm Days bring together communities and families alike to enjoy new exhibits, entertainments and exciting new events,” said Lemondes. The success of this event lies in the fact families can have fun, while at the same time, be exposed to the efforts and contributions of those in the agricultural industry. Thank you to Dan Palladino and his staff for hosting, once again, a very successful event that sheds light on the state’s number-one industry. I look forward to participating in next year’s event.” 

Since he was elected, Lemondes has been a strong advocate for farmers and workers in the agricultural industry. As a farmer himself, he understands just how important it is to have representation in Albany for our state and his district’s number one industry.
