For the second year in a row, the Tioga County Agricultural Resource Group and Senator Libous' Buy from the Backyard initiative, is offering the public free ice cream sundaes with delicious locally grown toppings.   Come to Stoughton Farm, Rt. 38, in Newark Valley on Sunday, June 7, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm for a relaxing Sunday afternoon at the farm. The tasting and farm tour are a unique opportunity to savor the flavors of Tioga County while experiencing behind the scenes activities of this successful flower and vegetable farm.   While at Sundaes at the Farm, you will be able to tour ten greenhouses where a large variety of bedding plants and hanging baskets are grown.  See the seeding machine the farm uses to accurately plant thousands of seeds each spring.  Learn how to make your own combination patio pot full of beautiful annuals—bring your own container to plant or purchase one at the farm. Get good tips on planting your vegetable garden, including spacing, trellising, and fertilizing.  Learn how to care for and cook with herbs. Meet Tioga County's Dairy Princess, who'll be serving the free ice cream sundaes featuring ice cream courtesy of Byrne Dairy, strawberry preserves from Iron Kettle Farm, and other local toppings from Organic Valley Cooperative, Howland's Honey, Tom Babcock, and Hamley's Maple Farm. There will be fun activities for everyone, including families with young children.  

 Other fun summer Sundaes at the Farm will be held on Sunday, July 26, at TLC Blueberry Farm in Barton, and Sunday, August 9, at MK Dairy in Owego.
