On Saturday, July 10, 2010, the
Adirondack Council held its annual Forever Wild Day and membership
meeting at Hohmeyer's
Lake Clear Lodge in Lake Clear, NY.
At the celebration, the Adirondack Council named Adirondack
Harvest was named the “Conservationist of the Year”
for 2010 for their efforts to support endangered family farms,
the local economy, and protect the environment. . Adirondack
Harvest works to protect farmland and connect growers to local
markets in all 13 counties containing at least some land within
the Adirondack Park. |

We all enoyed the 100-Mile
Forever Wild Day Lunch that celebrated local products, growers
and farmers. The lunch menu was developed by Chef Cathy Hohmeyer
using farm fresh foods and local products found within a 100-mile
area of the Lodge.
