Field to Loaf: Workshop on NY Grain Supply Chain & Benefit for Cayuga Pure Organics
NYS used to have dozens of grain producers, now there is just one major supplier, Cayuga Pure Organics (CPO). CPO is a small farm near Ithaca, New York with a big impact on the regional food system. At the end of May 2013, a devastating fire destroyed the barn that contained CPO's equipment and inventory
Help CPO rebuild after its fire and we will help you understand why that's important!
Workshop: "NY Grain Supply Chain 101" - Come learn from Farmer Erick Smith and esteemed experts about the important role played by Cayuga Pure Organics, the only major supplier of locally-grown organic dried bean dry beans and grains, including several heirloom varieties. Invited Presenters include:
-- Chef Daniel Humm, Restauranteur, Eleven Madison Park and NoMAD
-- Robert "Bob" Lewis, Food Policy Analyst, Greenmarkets & NYC Food Systems Network
