Showcasing NY Farms and Food Producers

CADE, a recipient of USDA’s Local Food Promotion Program, is providing market research and networking opportunities for farmers in the Central NY region. CADE will be developing new tools and opportunities for farmers to connect with local institutional buyers--from colleges to retirement communities--and with food hubs and other aggregators in the vicinity of Central NY.
One facet of CADE’s EMTP is a participant program in which CADE works across the supply chain with strategic and renowned partners such as The Teaching Kitchen® at Lenox Hill, The Common Market, Upstate NY Growers and Packers, Headwater Food Hub and most importantly - local farmers.
CADE is recruiting 20 farmers and 15 institutions to be EMTP Program Participants. Participation registration is rolling, and CADE encourages any farmer interested in learning more about the Farm to Institution movement, desire to launch or expand their farm into wholesale readiness, and receive technical assistance on emerging markets from CADE to apply. Those with the desire to enhance market opportunities with a certification are encouraged to apply, as stipend funding is available to assist with certification costs.
