December 9, 2015The Western NY Food Hub will source fruits and vegetables from growers around Buffalo and in twelve counties of Western New York - Erie, Niagara, Orleans, Genesee and Wyoming, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Monroe, Livingston, Allegany, Wayne and Ontario. Products will be sold and distributed predominantly to wholesale buyers in Buffalo, and to buyers across the entire state of New York, as well as the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
The agenda will include:

• What EVG can offer/what EVG is looking for, to include specific criteria
• How the project team can help growers that want to sell to the hub through training and technical assistance with regards to GAP certification, post harvest handing, packing, sorting, et cetera.
