State
Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball today reminded New Yorkers
that Taste NY gift baskets filled with the very best of New York made
food, beverages and other unique products are available
now, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Pre-made or customized gift
baskets can be picked up or delivered.
“Valentine’s
Day is the perfect opportunity for New Yorkers to share their favorite
local products with friends and family while supporting the state’s
farms and agri-businesses,” said Commissioner
Ball. “New York State has a diverse selection of homegrown and made
only in New York products, and the Taste NY stores have done a great job
of providing pairings and themed baskets, offering something for
everyone.”
Gift

items, locally produced wines and liquors, and bath and beauty products.
