Joe McCracken is part of the Grounds and Maintenance team at Orleans County Cornell Cooperative Extension. He helps care for the facilities and grounds that support Extension programs, events, and community activities throughout the year.
Joe has deep agricultural roots as a multigenerational farmer and a proud 4-H alumnus. After his time in the program, he continued giving back as a 4-H club leader, and today his own children are active participants in 4-H. He graduated from Batavia Notre Dame High School and has remained closely connected to the agricultural traditions of the region.
Outside of work, Joe operates a haunted house attraction and enjoys creating experiences that bring people together for fun and community engagement.
