Sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension Albany County, the event was hosted at the Patroon Land Farm in Knox, which is operated by the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York. In 1997, Pauline Williman entrusted 167 acres of her farmland to The Patroon Land Foundation, which the Regional Food Bank has managed since 2006, gradually increasing vegetable yields to nourish the community. Today, the farm produces up to 100,000 pounds of produce annually for the Food Bank, totaling over 1.6 million pounds to date.
