CANTON -- Area food growers and vendors are invited to a showcase event and meal from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 18, in Chaney Dining Center at SUNY Canton.
The Local Vendor Showcase will put diners in touch with the people responsible for growing or producing the raw ingredients of some of the dining options on campus. Most menu items served during the event will be grown, purchased, or produced in the North Country.
The College Association works with area farmers to obtain fresh foods to create their daily dining options. Locally purchased food also helps the area’s economy.
“We are holding this event to educate our students on where and why we purchase locally grown foods,” Assistant Dining Center Manager Jason Bartholomew said. “It provides a fantastic opportunity for our growers to explain what goes into producing their food items.”
The cost for the public is $10.95 per person. Regular charges will apply for students, and they can use their meal plans to participate.
