Kenyon, associate director of programs, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Broome County. “The Broome-Tioga Farm to School Culinary Experience provided the necessary training for our school food service workers to be able to prepare and serve farm-fresh products capturing the most nutritional value. Kenyon added,“This was important as we partner to provide both Ag in the Classroom and nutrition education to support our youth to develop healthy eating behaviors and reinforce the connection of how our local food system positively impacts our health.” “The Broome-Tioga BOCES Farm to School culinary experience provided substantial benefits to the Farm to School Program,” said Hannah Rion, Farm to School coordinator, Food and Health Network, a program of the Rural Health Network of South Central New York. “The program continuously sparks collaboration amongst farmers, community organizations, students, and school food service,” she said. “These essential partnerships remain the core of the program and will be strengthened through additional professional development. This training will specifically equip school food service staff with the necessary tailored skills to continue to grow the program and provide fresh, local products to our local youth.” Thank you to the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets and U.S. Department of Agriculture for support to create this amazing educational experience for staff and mangers that helps farm to school programs grow.
