The Institute for Rural Vitality welcomes its partner growers, producers and small businesses to the fourth annual Empire State Entrepreneur Expo. The public is invited to taste, try and buy food, beverage, and other products made by the small businesses and farms from the Mohawk Valley and beyond. The Expo will provide an opportunity for artisan, health, beauty and farm-to-table businesses to showcase their products to sponsors, buyers, and the community.

The Expo will showcase our participants, as well as local artisan, health, beauty, and farm-to-table businesses and their products to the community. Last year’s Expo featured over 150 value-added products, and 2026 is expected to be even bigger!
