Dutchess Outreach is creating this database in conjunction with NYS Ag & Markets' "New York Food for New York Families" grant program (NYFNYF). The NYFNYF grant's primary purpose is to allocate money to emergency food access organizations so that they may purchase food from traditionally socially disadvantaged farmers and producers in New York state in order to distribute it at no cost to people experiencing food insecurity. This statewide database will help to facilitate deeper connections between food access organizations and local farms by supporting these farms financially through increased market opportunities, and providing more local food for people in need.
This database will be public and free for all to view.
Note: Coffee and alcoholic beverages cannot be sold through NY Food for NY Families.
