The New York Farm Bureau Foundation has a new
project that will bring consumers closer to the farmers who produce
their food.
It is launching a new video series entitled “Meet Your
Farmer” that the public can view online through the Foundation’s YouTube
and social media pages. Links are available on the Foundation’s website
at nyfbfoundation.org
The website has also been updated to be smartphone friendly for people
looking to view the series on a mobile device or tablet. The Foundation
will also include QR codes on its educational brochures and calendar
that will increase the accessibility for viewers to watch the videos.
The videos feature New York farm families talking about their farms
and their passion for growing food and caring for their land and
animals. The project fits into the Foundation’s mission of sowing the
seeds of understanding to educate the public about modern day
agriculture.
The first farms to be showcased in the series include CY Farms in
Elba, NY, McCormick Farms in Bliss, NY, and Orbaker’s Fruit Farm in
Williamson, NY. The Foundation will soon add more farms to this ongoing
project.
“The New York Farm Bureau Foundation reaches thousands of children
and adults every year through its educational programming, and we are
pleased to continue telling the stories of New York’s family farms
through this new video series," said Farm Bureau President and Foundation Chair David Fisher.
"It is more important than ever that
farmers share what they do and engage with the public to clear up any
misunderstanding people may have about agriculture,” said Fisher.
