Come Forage Through Lewis County!
Taste and Learn at the Virtual Lewis County Expo!
Teachers, this is
an exciting opportunity for your students to connect to Lewis County
Agriculture by having the ability to taste our local foods and see local
agriculture without even leaving your classroom, at no cost for your
school.
Lewis County Cornell
Cooperative Extension wants to bring awareness of our most popular local
commodities made here in Lewis County, during the week of October 18th each
day. A 3–5-minute film will be released that focuses on a specific product
and the production behind it. On Friday the 22nd, a virtual farm tour will
be held on zoom where students will be able to ride on a forage harvester
with a farmer and ask questions! The first 100 classrooms to register will
receive a Box of Lewis County for each day of the expo that will
include a taste of your favorite local products! Make sure to register by September 29th
to be included in all the uniqueness of Lewis County!
