More Information about Farming Practices CSA - Some farms offer a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) option. Consumers can purchase a share of the farm’s harvest at the beginning of the growing season and then pick up a box of freshly harvested produce each week throughout the season.
Certified Organic - Certified organic farms have met USDA standards for organic food production as verified by an accredited agency such as the Northeast Organic Farming Association of NY (NOFA-NY). Other farms may also follow organic farming practices, but have not undergone the certification process.
Conventional - Producers can use all available strategies and inputs in their production of food.
GAP - The Good Agricultural Practices audit verification program focuses on best agricultural practices to verify that farms are producing, handling, and storing fruits and vegetables in the safest manner possible to minimize risks of microbial food safety hazards.
IPM - A sustainable approach to managing pests by combining biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks.
Natural Production - No use of antibiotics or growth promotants used in production practices. Humane standards for animal welfare and well being. Minimal processing and production inputs used.

Good Reasons to Buy Food Locally 1. You know where your food came from and you have
direct contact with the producer (farm/farmers).
2.
You often pay less.
3. You improve your diet by eating more vegetables
and fruit.
4. Food miles are reduced—this saves fossil fuels and
decreases vehicle pollution.
5.
Less packaging is used and, thus, less waste is created.
6. You stimulate local economic development by
keeping your $$$ in the community.
Want to know if the dairy products you buy are locally produced? Some milk travels thousands of miles, so look for “36” to know that your milk was processed in New York State, with milk sourced from local dairy farms. Many store brands of yogurt, cottage cheese, and sour cream are made by Crowley Foods in LaFargeville, NY, and use local milk. You can make sure the product was made at the LaFargeville Crowley plant by looking at the date stamp on the lid of the product. If the date stamp has an “L” as shown in this photo, it was made in LaFargeville.

About this Guide This Local Food Guide was produced as a public service with funding from the sponsors listed below.
To have your farm or business listed in next year’s Local Food Guide, or to tell us about someone else who should be included, please contact: Steven Ledoux of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County by phone at 315.788.8450, Ext. 324.
The farms and businesses in this guide have assured us that they sell food they have raised themselves or food they have produced themselves using largely local ingredients. In addition to their own food, these farms and businesses may also sell food that is not locally grown or produced. When shopping for local food, feel free to ask, “Did you grow this yourself?”

More Information about Farming Practices CSA - Some farms offer a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) option. Consumers can purchase a share of the farm’s harvest at the beginning of the growing season and then pick up a box of freshly harvested produce each week throughout the season.
Certified Organic - Certified organic farms have met USDA standards for organic food production as verified by an accredited agency such as the Northeast Organic Farming Association of NY (NOFA-NY). Other farms may also follow organic farming practices, but have not undergone the certification process.
Conventional - Producers can use all available strategies and inputs in their production of food.
GAP - The Good Agricultural Practices audit verification program focuses on best agricultural practices to verify that farms are producing, handling, and storing fruits and vegetables in the safest manner possible to minimize risks of microbial food safety hazards.
IPM - A sustainable approach to managing pests by combining biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks.
Natural Production - No use of antibiotics or growth promotants used in production practices. Humane standards for animal welfare and well being. Minimal processing and production inputs used.

Good Reasons to Buy Food Locally 1. You know where your food came from and you have
direct contact with the producer (farm/farmers).
2.
You often pay less.
3. You improve your diet by eating more vegetables
and fruit.
4. Food miles are reduced—this saves fossil fuels and
decreases vehicle pollution.
5.
Less packaging is used and, thus, less waste is created.
6. You stimulate local economic development by
keeping your $$$ in the community.
Want to know if the dairy products you buy are locally produced? Some milk travels thousands of miles, so look for “36” to know that your milk was processed in New York State, with milk sourced from local dairy farms. Many store brands of yogurt, cottage cheese, and sour cream are made by Crowley Foods in LaFargeville, NY, and use local milk. You can make sure the product was made at the LaFargeville Crowley plant by looking at the date stamp on the lid of the product. If the date stamp has an “L” as shown in this photo, it was made in LaFargeville.

About this Guide This Local Food Guide was produced as a public service with funding from the sponsors listed below.
To have your farm or business listed in next year’s Local Food Guide, or to tell us about someone else who should be included, please contact: Steven Ledoux of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County by phone at 315.788.8450, Ext. 324.
The farms and businesses in this guide have assured us that they sell food they have raised themselves or food they have produced themselves using largely local ingredients. In addition to their own food, these farms and businesses may also sell food that is not locally grown or produced. When shopping for local food, feel free to ask, “Did you grow this yourself?”
