Beyond their internal programs, Glezen Farms actively participates in the FARM Program and partners with Cornell Cooperative Extension and industry groups to host on-farm trainings and community education events. Their openness to sharing best practices and advocating for agriculture reflects their deep commitment to progress and public engagement.
