FMNP Funding is Here!

 

Hooray! The “i’s” have been dotted and the “t’s” have been crossed, and the New York Department of Ag has started releasing funds for the Farmers Market Nutrition Program! We are starting to send out checks this week

 

Farmers Market Week 2023 Roundup!

 

As we bid farewell to Farmers Market Week 2023, we are happy to reflect on the community engagement we saw with our theme that Farmers Markets Bring People Together. Our screens, feeds, and timelines came alive with our colorful graphics celebrating local markets, and the spirit of community around the state was truly heartwarming.

A sincere thank you to everyone who participated in making this week special and showcasing how your farmers market brings people together. Your participation highlighted the unique role New York farmers markets play in nurturing connections and enriching lives.

 

Monthly Members & Friends Meetup: September 2023

 

Protecting Markets From Potential Threats by Developing Safety Awareness
with Jose Dos Santos

Mass shootings and hate crimes seem to be happening on a daily basis, all across the country. Every event, whether a social gathering, a school, or a concert, needs to be aware of the possibility that such tragic events as these may happen at any of these public events.

But are farmers markets exempt from such criminal acts? No, they are not! We have been promoting farmers markets as a welcoming gathering place for everyone, but that does not make markets exempt from the possibility of such a tragic occurrence at a farmers market.

Jose Dos Santos, Protective Security Advisor of the US Department of Homeland Security, will help us to understand such situations and to be prepared so that we can do our best to keep everyone safe – staff, farmers, and vendors, as well as our customers. From preparation to prevention to responding to an actual criminal act, Mr. Dos Santos will walk us through what we need to do for everyone’s ultimate safety.

Join us Tuesday, August 22 at 1 pm for our Monthly Members and Friends Meetup as we learn from Jose Dos Santos’ experience. The session is free to join and everyone is welcome. Just use the link below at 1 pm on Tuesday, August 22.

Join us for this free event on Tuesday, August 22, 1:00 pm here.
