The Garden Project is a partnership between the Cornell Cooperative Extension's Master Gardeners Program, the Food Bank of Western New York, and Food For All. In conjunction with the Food Bank of Western New York, Food For All runs the Garden Project to work in pursuit of a more sustainable food system by empowering people to engage in agricultural production. Garden participants consist of income

-eligible families and community volunteers. Since its founding, the Garden Project has become a highly productive garden with a committed participant base. Our volunteer staff guides our gardeners through all aspects of food production, from composting and mulching to preparing and planting seeds, weeding, managing pests and diseases, and harvesting. Throughout the growing season, we hold nutrition and cooking lessons to educate gardeners about different ways to consume and preserve their garden-harvested produce.

Greens of all kind are growing this week! As you shop at your local Farmer's Market remember that eating fresh, leafy greens are an important part of a healthy lifestyle! They are packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber; and the fresher your greens are the more benefits you gain from them. So purchase your favorite greens this week, find some great recipes, and enjoy with other delicious foods at dinner time. https://armagazine.com/2X6dXx

What Else Is Growing: Garlic Scrapes, Beets, Cucumbers, Radishes, Scallions, Kohlrabi, and Tomatoes

September is NOFA-NY Locavore Month!
NOFA-NY is celebrating local food, farmers and farm-to-table cookery during September. We hope you'll talk up your love of local food and your support of sustainable farming to your friends and family. It's a great time to share in experiences cooking together, dining at farm-to-table restaurants, taking action to shape policy in support of organic farms, and visiting the farms themselves!
