"Harbes Farm is an amazing place. Their attention to detail, variety and focusing on the wants and needs of children is outstanding," says Capitelli. "It's a place where all ages can enjoy themselves. There's something for everyone. We are honored to be included in Harbes Sweet Corn Festival activities."

During Harbes' Annual Sweet Corn Festival, which this year celebrates 25 years of growing super-sweet corn on their Mattituck farm, many children-friendly activities are planned. For adults the farm also features a vineyard and a 100-year-old barn for wine tasting where Harbes award-winning wines can be sampled.

"I too am delighted to be part of the annual Sweet Corn festival this year," added Dabrowski. "As a North Fork native, I am very proud of my own family's agricultural heritage and feel that it is important we continue our farming traditions on the East End. Harbes Farm is playing a vital role in doing that."

These notable LIAWS authors will be on hand at Harbes Family Farm, 715 Sound Avenue, Mattituck, NY from 11 AM until 3 PM on Saturday, July 15.
