What are we doing in New York City?

Families need healthy advice about ways to cook vegetables. We help shoppers meet their local farmers. We help them decide how to use the many types of fresh produce for sale.

In 2024, a total of 17,136 people at 10 farmers’ markets visited Cornell University Cooperative Extension cooking and learning stations in the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

Most of those individuals saw recipe videos or tasted recipes prepared at markets using fresh fruits and vegetables.

Our teams of community educators and college volunteers help bridge the gap between communities in need and farmers who grow vegetables locally.
