Harvest New York
The Harvest of the Month program was originally branded by the Buffalo Public Schools Farm to School (F2S) team. Posters, newsletters, and infographics were created by a graphic designer to help highlight and promote the consumption of locally-grown foods. The Buffalo School District F2S team partner, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Erie County, developed content for the newsletters which is shared with parents and the school community. Infographics are displayed in the district's cafeterias.
Buffalo Public Schools has agreed to share the materials with any F2S program that would like to use them. Harvest New York has created generic versions of the materials which are available below for download. The materials can be edited and adapted for your district or program's use.
For questions, more information about editing and printing the materials, or for the Adobe InDesign files, please contact Becky O'Connor, Harvest New York's WNY Farm to Institution Coordinator.
Special thanks to Buffalo Public Schools for sharing these resources; graphic designer Julian Montague for creating the materials; and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Erie County's SNAP-Ed nutrition educators for developing newsletter and infographic content.

Field Guide: Arthropod Pests of NYC Vegetables
Arthropod Pests of NYC Vegetables aims to help urban farmers and gardeners find, identify, and understand the most common and important insects and other arthropod pests found in New York City farms and gardens. Some of these pests are rarely mentioned in other guides but are common in NYC. The guide emphasizes scouting tips, including how to identify pests by the damage they leave behind, even when you can't find the insect itself.This guide was created as a collaboration between Cornell Cooperative Extension's Harvest New York team and the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program.
