Click here to view a list of coordinators for each countyThank you to all of our volunteers and donors who helped make the 2018 Ag Literacy Week a success!About This Year's BookOn the Farm, At the MarketWritten and illustrated by G. Brian KarasWe are proud to feature a book that displays the unique markets and diversity that encompasses many aspects of New York's agriculture focusing on food production and direct marketing. Students will be taken on the journey to both local and urban farmers' markets seeing a strong, interconnected community by following the food production and sales processes of three different farms. Each aspect of a farmer's preparation for a market will be illustrated - the before, during, and after- on a vegetable farm, cheese production plant, and a mushroom operation who all sell directly to consumers. The book also explores the interconnected community of farmers and eaters, and how the food sold at the market comes together to create the meals we share.Through this story we will be able to showcase the depth of industries and diversity that New York agriculture encompasses and highlight what agriculture looks like in each region of the state.From the busy hub of New York City, to the mountains of the Adirondacks, and to the fertility of the Finger Lakes our state is expansive and encompasses all types of agricultural industries. Careers and post-secondary education opportunities are abundant in traditional and developing food-centric industries. Agriculture contributes over $37 billion to the New York State economy and ranks in the top ten in the nation for yogurt, apples, grapes, calves, and onions, among other products. These products and industries allow New York producers to explore all varying scales of marketing and selling: niche markets, direct to consumer selling, food processing, wholesale, and more.On the Farm, At the Market highlights the story of agriculture with vivid illustrations and a community-centric storyline. Students will understand the importance of agriculture as an economic driver in communities across New York, and develop an awareness for where their food comes from and its journey.Educator ResourcesTo be announced soon!Agricultural Literacy Week ArchiveNow in its 14th Year, Agricultural Literacy Week has helped to bring agriculturally themed books and resources into thousands of classrooms and libraries throughout New York State.Click here to explore past years books and resources. ========================================= Dairy Discovery Workshop Friday, March 29, 2019 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm Cornell University (Judd Falls Road Ithaca, NY 14853) The annual Dairy Discovery program provides New York youth with fun, hands-on science-oriented learning experiences on dairy production and management topics which feature the unique facilities, industry professionals, and staff of Cornell University.Dairy Discovery is a hands-on workshop held annually at Cornell University in late March.
