Earth Day!

Hello and Happy Earth Day!

 

Here is the update. 

• The hunt for the Delhi Farmers market manager continues. I have been refered to yet another name to contact and see if they are the manager.
• Finished writing up and sent out the summary of Farm to School projects.
• Betsy Weidenbach, some students, and I visited Camp Move IT in Bovina, NY. They are an empowerment camp for girls that is relocating to Bovina after renting a building in Maine for a couple years. They are very interested in buying local and supporting the farmers and the community. There will hopefully be more discussion on how we can collaborate.
• Information on the internship at the Turquoise Barn in Bloomville, NY was sent out to culinary faculty. The information will also be sent to Career Services to be posted.
• I have contacted people from both the Delaware Academy and South Kortright school gardens about leverging some SUNY Delhi students to work in the garden during the summer. This depends, of course, on whether there are any local students who are interested. Finding people to take care of the gardens in the summer has been a problem for the schools in the past, so I thought it would be worth a try. Students may also be able to volunteer in the Delaware Opportunities Food Bank garden.  
• Sent the revised WIC survey  to the NYS Department of Health. Waiting for approval.

Best,

Mary
