Nestled in picturesque upstate New York, Schoharie County is located about 30 miles west of the Empire State’s capital of Albany and just 150 miles north of New York City.
Schoharie County is an agricultural-based rural community in Central New York with just over 30,000 residents, spread out over 16 towns and six separate villages (Cobleskill, Esperance, Middleburgh, Schoharie, Sharon Springs, and Richmondville), featuring pedestrian-friendly, walkable historic downtown areas, flanked by retail stores and restaurants.
The county overlaps with three unique regional economies: the Albany/Capital District area to the east, the Mohawk Valley Region to the west, and the Catskills/Appalachian region to the south.

Deb Fletcher, the sole agriculture teacher at Cobleskill-Richmondville High School, won this award along with five others nationally and will be honored in December.
Her students come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, so Fletcher has found that providing as much variety in the hands-on opportunities available helps to enrich the education process whether or not the students have a plan to be a part of the agriculture in their futures.
With Schoharie County garnering nearly $48 million in aggregate agriculture sales and with 41 percent of the producers being female, Fletcher plays a crucial role in shaping the future of the industry.
