Delgado, member of the House Agriculture Committee. "I will continue to advocate for our family-owned small farms and businesses across our region and ensure that federal agricultures policies fit the needs of our local producers."

"Catskill Mountain Sugar House was honored to have Congressman Antonio Delgado visit our facilities and see firsthand how we create homemade organic maple syrup using our natural resources in the Catskills.
