Cornell Cooperative Extension puts knowledge to work in pursuit of economic vitality, ecological sustainability and social well-being. We bring local experience and research based solutions together, helping New York State families and communities thrive in our rapidly changing world.

Cornell Cooperative Extension has also engaged community members in cooking demos and food tastings at local food pantries and WIC clinics. Well Fed Essex County also supported the Power of Produce Club this summer.

Cornell Cooperative educators connect people with the information they need on topics such as commercial and consumer agriculture; nutrition and health; youth and families; finances; energy efficiency; economic and community development; and sustainable natural resources.
