Come say hi to our Executive Director, Andrea McGinty, in the vendor tent at this weekend’s Bovina Bicentennial to hear all about our current and upcoming projects. And don’t forget to stop by Creamery Field for the Bovina Dairymen’s game on Saturday, July 30, 2 pm. And of course, you won’t want to miss our free concert featuring The College Farm and Pispoure at Chico’s Barn (124 Bob Hall Rd) after the day’s festivities.
Thank you to Jesse Hilson and The Reporter for featuring Ray LaFever’s talk, Bovines of Bovina, that took place as part of our special event series at the June 30 Bovina Farmers’ Market in this week’s paper!
Read all about Ray’s fascinating presentation, and the fiery and dramatic debates of Delaware County’s 1800s rival farmers in this week’s edition of The Reporter.
We're excited to announce that construction on our Creamery Bridge has begun. If you've been to the farmers’ market the past couple weeks you have probably seen the hard work in progress. The bridge is part of our larger Bovina Riverwalk project and will connect the Riverwalk to Creamery Road, providing a safe and beautiful trail leading directly into downtown Bovina.
You can read all about our Bovina Riverwalk project and it's progress through the link below.
We are thrilled to announce the winner of our 2022 Agriculture Scholarship: Autumn Madugno!
Autumn is a graduate of Bainbridge-Guilford High School and plans to study animal science with a concentration in dairy production at SUNY Cobleskill. We were very impressed with her essay on sustainable practices in farming and dairy production. We wish you the best and look forward to seeing you excel in your college endeavors.
Congratulations, Autumn!

We are thrilled to announce that John Finn has generously donated Dry Town Tavern to Livestock Foundation.
Dry Town Tavern is located in the historic Hilson's store on Bovina’s Main Street, and the building’s extensive renovation, currently underway, is a natural extension of the foundation’s mission of historic preservation in Bovina. Opening soon, the Dry Town Tavern will add a farm-to-table restaurant to its neighboring Inn and will serve as the beating heart of the Livestock Foundation; providing a place for the community to gather, converse, and reflect on our collective history.
