                        Monday, January 27, 2020

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Creek's Edge Elk 
Farm & Crum Creek CSA for receiving the Fulton Montgomery Regional 
Chamber of Commerce Agricultural Business of the Year Award.
  Creek's Edge Elk Farm & Crum Creek CSA is a collaboration between two 
local family farms that seek to offer the broader community a wide 
selection of locally-raised, high-quality, healthy meats. The farms, 
owned by husband and wife team Israel and Stacy Handy of Handy Hills 
Farm; and Susan Keith of Creek's Edge, work together to market their 
products to customers throughout Montgomery and Fulton counties, as 
well as the Little Falls, Cooperstown and Cherry Valley areas. They 
have made significant investments in their farms and work tirelessly to 
ensure that their customers have high confidence in their products. 
Creek's Edge Elk Farm & Crum Creek CSA takes pride being able to 
provide the community with meats from healthy, well-cared for animals 
because as they say, ``not everyone is able to raise a steer or pig in 
their backyard.''
  Agriculture is an essential component of the economy in Northern New 
York and Creek's Edge Elk Farm & Crum Creek CSA exemplify the best of 
North Country agriculture. On behalf of New York's 21st District, I 
would like to congratulate Susan Keith, Israel Handy, and Stacy Handy 
for this well-deserved recognition. I look forward to their future 
success.
