Join us for a magical evening of music and nature at CPF’s popular Music in the Meadow event, featuring a sunset picnic supper and a live performance by the Syracuse Orchestra String Quartet.
We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s event will be held at Critz Farms—a location that holds deep significance for CPF. It was the very first farm in Madison County that was protected through a New York State Farmland Protection Implementation Grant. Thanks to this partnership, the land at Critz Farms will remain forever undeveloped and devoted to agriculture—a lasting symbol of our mission to preserve open space for future generations.
Event Location
Critz Farms is located at 3232 Rippleton Rd. (Route 13), just 3.5 miles south of scenic Route 20, in Cazenovia, Madison County, NY, less than a 30 minute drive from Syracuse.

The picnic area opens at 5:30 p.m. and the music starts promptly at 7:00 p.m.
