Recipes

The Cornell Cooperative Extension Farmer's Market nutrition booth promotes increased vegetable and fruit consumption by demonstrating and offering tasty samples of recipes using locally donated produce. Each week, patrons at the Farmer's Market try new food combinations, and then purchase the fresh produce needed directly from the local growers.

Over the years, the Community Nutrition Educators visited with up to six hundred patrons each week. Thank you for your support, and please join us again.
