Did you know that over 1,500 pounds of fresh produce from area farms is going into school lunches each week? Learn about the multi-faceted collaboration that makes this Fresh-cut program possible in the next edition of the Fruition Local Food Showcase on November 17, 7-8pm.

Fruition is a monthly live stream that highlights the foods and people of our northern region. The online program includes 1-1 interviews that are 15 minutes apiece with each of the three featured guests. In addition to the conversation and accompanying photographs, there are prize giveaways and seasonal recipes. The Fruition Showcase is free for the guest participants as well as any community member eager to tune in and learn more about the food system of St. Lawrence County.

Program Guests
