Governor Cuomo Announces New Initiatives to Support NYS Grown & Certified Farmers and Businesses

(July 31, 2018) – Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced several new initiatives to support New York State Grown & Certified participating farms and businesses, and drive consumer demand for New York’s agricultural products. Nearly $500,000 in funding is available for producers and retailers to help offset the cost of new packaging and on-product labeling, as well as in-store signage to increase brand recognition of Grown & Certified products. The New York State Grown & Certified program, first launched by Governor Cuomo in August 2016, promotes New York agricultural producers and growers who adhere to food safety and environmental sustainability standards.
