Do you have a keen eye for capturing the beauty of New York's agricultural industry? Help us highlight the best of NYS's agricultural community, commodities, and livestock by submitting to the Department's 2025 Agricultural Photo Contest!

New York State is home to a powerhouse craft beverage industry, ranking first in U.S. for the number of hard cider producers, second in craft distillers and breweries, and fourth in the country for the total number of wineries. This industry not only benefits our farmers who are supplying fresh ingredients and high-quality agricultural crops for unique varieties of these delicious beverages, but also supports thousands of jobs and helps fuel our economy.

There’s nothing better than a refreshing, cold beverage at the end of a warm summer day. That’s why, as the summer heats up, we’re cooling down with our next photo contest category: “Summer Sips: A Toast to NY’s Craft Beverages!”
