The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets has awarded this funding to urban farms and community gardens across the state, with a focus on food production, safety, and distribution.
Among the recipients, the Clarkstown Central School District will receive $50,000 for their Garden Wellness Initiative. This initiative aims to promote health and wellness through gardening activities within the school community.
Additionally, the Poughkeepsie Farm Project will also benefit from $50,000 in funding. This project plays a crucial role in supporting local agriculture efforts and enhancing access to fresh, locally-grown produce in the Poughkeepsie area.
