HERKIMER CO., N.Y. — The 2022 Herkimer County Local Foods Map is now available from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Herkimer County in East Herkimer. It will be distributed throughout Herkimer County at various outlets including farmersā markets this summer. To view an online version of this map, please visit http://bit.ly/CCEHerkCoLocalFoodsMap
There are sixty-six producers on the map along with five Herkimer County Farmersā Markets. Ā Support for updating and printing the map was provided by a grant from Herkimer County Mental Health through the Farm Family Assistance Project.
The benefits of āeating localā are many including fresher foods that taste great and are often more nutritious than foods that have traveled many miles and days to get to your table.Ā Also, when you buy directly from local farmers, your dollars stay within your community and strengthen the local economy.Ā This helps preserve farming as a livelihood and rural landscapes as farmland during these unprecedented times.
For more information or to pick up a map, please call Cornell Cooperative Extension at (315) 866-7920 or emailĀ herkimer@cornell.edu.
