Help Grow the Food and Health Network of South Central New York  


 At the FaHN December Annual Planning meeting we had a lively, excited group and worked hard on developing a work plan for 2015. We are still processing all the great ideas and information and intend to share the work plan in late January. In the mean time we cannot move forward without your help! If you have not yet become a member or sponsor we urge you to do so. If you are already a member or sponsor, thank you! However, we still need your help. If you can commit to recruiting at least one person to join, that would go a long way!

We made it to just under $2,000 and we need to reach our goal of $10,000. Please invest in your food system today.

 
 
Everyone is a food system stakeholder, and we invite you to join FaHN as a 2015 member or sponsor. Become a member or sponsor NOW!  

Don't forget we have a special new addition to the campaign, thanks to four local food businesses. As a reward 
for your help recruiting members/sponsors, we are offering prizes for the top two member and top two sponsor recruiters! 
  

 

Black Bear Winery: A four person tour and tasting at the unique Black Bear Winery, a fruit winery nestled in a warm cabin in a beautiful part of Broome County. The types of wine change by the month and there is always a new taste to discover with owners Sandy and Mark Stacey.   
 
Finger Lakes Distilling: A four person tour and tasting at the one and only Finger Lakes  Distillery, a NYS Farm Distilling. Brian McKenzie and Earl McKenzie both share a passion for spirits and decided to work  together to create a distillery on the shores of Seneca Lake.   
Brewery Ommegang: A four person tour and tasting at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, the town that once was the king of hop production. The brewery was built back in 1997 on 136 acres of land that once was a hop farm. It was actually the first farmstead brewery to be built in the United States in over 100 years!

 

Finger Lakes Tea: A four person tour and tasting at the only tea farm in the Finger Lakes. Mark and Lily are passionate about tea and are excited to share it with all those folks who are also curious about the production and art of tea.  

 

      We would like to thank all those organizations who have been kind enough to offer these prizes to the Food and Health Network. We are truly grateful for your contributions! Contact vista-fahn@rhnscny.org to learn more.
