Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Virtual NY Vendor Showcase

Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Farm to School Coordinator Team is hosting a Virtual NY Vendor Showcase on April 24th and 25th from 1pm-4pm featuring NY growers, vendors, and distributors who offer products that are a good fit for the school food market.

Vendors will share information about their farms or food businesses, the NY food products they grow or produce, and opportunities for introducing the products into school meal programs. Each vendor will have 10-15 minutes to present. More information about the vendors presenting each day is below. The presentations will be recorded, and all registrants will receive vendor contact information, product lists, and any additional sell sheets or information provided by vendors.
