Working towards Sustainability

Hello,

 

I hope you have had a wonderful week.  

• The scanned newspaper articles are now digitized into a pdf. Let me know if you want this and I will gladly send it along.
• I made a flyer and info sheet for vendors for the Farmers' market on campus planned for October
• Sonia Persichilli sent me this link for a Farm to School toolkit https://red001.mail.microsoftonline.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=32455e56509842d39a13e470038929b2&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.wafarmtoschool.org%2fToolKit
• Amber Tatnall and I finished writing our final report on the findings from the WIC survey.
• I finished my "final report and recommendations" It is a powerpoint presentation and summarizes the year's successes and challenges, and then I give some suggestions on how to move forward.
• Starting working on my LAST AmeriCorps quarterly report!

Best,

Mary

August Already?

Hello Farm-Food People!

• Christina Viafore and I have been working this week trying to find farms that have the quantity of veggies we need for the local dinner.
• Meg Kennedy (manager of the Delhi farmers' market) said that 8 of her vendors want to do the farmers' market on campus in October. Just need to work out details now.
• I followed up with Middlefield Orchards and directed them to CADI so they can supply SUNY Delhi with apples again this year. Looks like that is going to happen.
• Challey Comer forwarded this event to me to share with all of you. It is part of a series of farm visits this growing season for start-up farmers and farm apprentices/interns in the Catskills region. Check out the link!
