NY Harvest Week Goals Top Ten Foods Produced in New York State Benefits of Eating Locally Grown Produce Where to Find Local Food Protect the Environment

New York Harvest for New York Kids Week is being promoted to increase awareness and to teach children the importance of local agriculture and food. The goal of a healthy diet for children can be met with increased consumption of locally grown and produced New York fruits, vegetables and dairy foods. Together we can help our children and our farms grow strong and healthy.

1.  Dairy Products
2.  Apples
3.  Potatoes
4.  Eggs
5.  Cabbages
6.  Sweet Corn
7.  Onions
8.  Grapes
9.  Snap Beans
10.  Tomatoes

•  Shorter transportation and storage time
•  Fresher fruits & vegetables
•  Retain more nutrients
•  Reduced need for post-harvest pesticide use
•  Support local farmers

•  Grocery store (if they don't have any ask them to get it)
•  Farmers' market
•  Farm stand or store
•  Farm (pick-your-own)
•  Restaurants (the trendiest food is fresh and local)

When you eat more New York foods you help more local farms stay in business and those farms help preserve open space, plants, animal habitats and beautiful natural landscapes.


Suggested NY Harvest activities:

Saturday and Sunday, Visit your local farm or farmers' market, or stop at a market on the NYS Thruway. Monday: Draw a picture of your favorite food. Does it grow in New York? Tuesday: Find out what foods are grown near where you live. Can you grow food in NYC? Weds. : Did you eat 5 or more fruits & vegetables today? Thurs., : How many NY foods can you find in the supermarket? Friday,: If you haven't already had a crisp New York apple this week, make sure your family gets some for tomorrow. Sat., : Drink 3-4 cups of New York milk. Sunday: Have a New York meal at home!
