CANTON – The Drive For 25 and Farm to School programs are hosting a farmer/producer meeting Jan. 23, from 6-8 p.m. at the Cornell Cooperative Extension offices.

Topics covered include: how to set up contracts with schools and the informal bid process, what schools are looking for, CCE (SLC) commercial kitchens and a Farm-to-School grant, NNY HUB and its role in assisting growers, farmer success stories with a panel of farmers and food directors.
The program is presented by Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) in collaboration with Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County.
