“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Critz Farms in Cazenovia, New York. This month the New York State Agricultural Society honored Critz Farms with the 2018 Business of the Year Award. The award recognizes the quality, leadership, and innovation demonstrated by State farms and particularly agribusinesses. Critz Farms was established in 1985 by Matthew and Juanita Critz. The family-run farm offers various educational tours for visitors such as apple cider production, pumpkin patch browsing, and maple sugaring tours. Their mission is to educate people about farming and the origins of food, all while providing fun for the whole family. Critz Farms grows a variety of crops, including apples, strawberries, blueberries, and conifer trees for Christmas. The family-run farm also produces apple cider, award-winning hard cider, craft beer, and pure maple syrup. Congratulations again to Critz Farms for being honored as the New York State Agricultural Society's Business of the Year. I am looking forward to visiting Critz Farms, as I do each year, for maple syrup season this March. Many of you may be surprised to know that the best maple syrup in the world is produced in New York State. ____________________”
