Family
activities, barn yard fun, live music, wine tastings, and book
signings by Long Island authors fill the weekend.
Mattituck,
NY (July 1, 2013) -- Harbes
Family Farm is celebrating a twenty-five year
tradition of growing, and selling, Long Island's sweetest corn.
Taking place during the July 13-14, 2013 weekend from 10 AM until 6
PM at Harbes Family Farms and Vineyard at 715 Sound Avenue in
Mattituck, NY is Harbes Annual Sweet Corn Festival. Harbes Super
Sweet Corn, which Newsday called, "Long Island's Best Corn,"
has been the product of years of variety selection by Ed Harbes,
general manager at Harbes Family Farm.
Sweet
Corn Festival activities include: working border collie
demonstrations that show these highly specialized dogs in action
(kids can play with the friendly dogs after the performance), corn
eating contests, corn related games, sack races, corn crafts for
kids, and "what's all the buzz about bees," where the
public can learn about bees and safely observe them in a glass
enclosed habitat. In addition to Harbes' usual menu will be corn
foods such as corn dogs, corn fritters, corn pizza, and corn salsa.
For
those who want the thrill of blasting an ear of corn through the air,
Harbes Family Farm is set to launch their new Corn Cannon during the
festival. The Corn Cannon uses compressed air to shoot the ears at
targets downrange behind Harbes Barnyard Adventure. Harbes Barnyard
Adventure also includes a bounce house, a bee museum, pig races,
Bunnyville, Goat Mountain, a Hedge Maze, the Three Little Pig's
houses, and numerous other activities and exhibits of farm animals.
Also
new for this year's festival is an appearance by notable authors from
the Long Island Authors and Writers Society (http://www.LIAWS.org).
Award-winning, bestselling authors from the not-for-profit
organization will be on hand from 11 AM until 3 PM on Saturday, July
13 to meet readers and sign books. LIAWS works to promote the craft
of writing at all levels on Long Island.

Family Farm has activities for all ages. While The Barnyard Adventure
is geared toward children, many adults enjoy it as well. Singing
Hayrides and live music round out the weekend events. Harbes
turn-of-the-century Wine Tasting Barn will be open for tastings and
