Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County supports growers of all skill levels and from all walks of life to grow a healthy, bountiful, resilient future. From educational content, Seed to Supper programs, Workforce Development, and farming hundreds of pounds of fresh, healthy produce (all donated to local food pantries), CCE-Monroe works to empower everyone to grow their own food, and through farming, build a stronger community.
