We have recently given two farm tours to Lead New York Class 13 and Rotary International Group Study Exchange!

Lead New York is an leadership institute that cultivates new leaders for the food and agricultural industry.  The group focuses on providing valuable guidance in analyzing issues, dealing with public policymakers, and seeking out creative solutions to the food an agricultural needs of tomorrow.  Ninety percent of the members are involved in a state or local agricultural/community organization. Ninety percent of the program's total per-student cost is paid for by the food and agricultural industry donors and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University, making LEAD New York one of the most cost-effective career-enhancing opportunities!

Rotary International Group Study Exchange had a Korean group from district 3710 visit our farm as well.  District 3710  is the Gwanggju "City of Light" in the southwest of Korea and has an Oceanic climate and the population of approximately 1.4 million.  The Five Korean Exchange Rotory members were from vast areas of the business world.  Two were CEO's of Digital Korea Industrial and Elect Poweretec Company Inc. while the others were involved in Newspaper, Music, and education. 

It was very interesting to have all the following visitors from distant areas of business.  We look forward to hosting more groups of people at Sang Lee Farms in the future! 

We are also happy to have our 2010 CSA Member Farm Tour on May 23rd @ 1:00
