Cornell Cooperative Extension Oneida County is gathering profile information from local farms in the region. The data is going to be put into the first Farm & Food Directory for Oneida County. The goal is to help raise farm sales and awareness about locally produced foods.

The Farm & Food Directory will be sent to restaurants, markets, grocery stores, schools, food vendors, and other venues who are looking for local food products. Each farm and producer included in the Directory will get a two-page listing that highlights their history, products and services.
