Happy National Farmer’s Day to my favorite farmer, my dad, Jerry Blackwell. He assists the Cooley family in running their farm in Chesnee, SC. If you’ve enjoyed fresh strawberries in the summer on our custard or our peachy peach custard, the fruit came from Strawberry Hill USA. Governor McMaster visited the farm yesterday to present Mr. Cooley with a proclamation for National Farmer’s Day and then sat in on a round table discussion of farmers. Of all the farms he could have visited, we think it’s pretty cool that he chose Strawberry Hill.
In addition to my dad, the Cooley family, and Strawberry Hill, we also want to thank the hardworking dairy farmers at Upstate Niagara Cooperative, Inc. for providing our wonderful, high quality dairy.
If you ate today, thank a farmer.

When your dad is a driver for Upstate and your favorite season is “pumpkin,” this is what your breakfast looks like!
Milk is the purest food on the market and it’s never touched by human hands, but check out this clear pipeline as you see the milk traveling from the cow to the milk tank. Christi Farms is a member of the Upstate Niagara Cooperative, Inc. which means the milk produced on this farm can be found in Wegmans organic milk, yogurt, and butter.

Through , the Food Bank of the Southern Tier has so far purchased more than 70,000 pounds of dairy products and nearly 80,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables from New York growers, providing much-needed support for farmers who have lost markets as a result of school and restaurant closures. We joined the Food Bank of the Southern Tier for their distribution at Windsor Central School District this morning, which provided 6,000 pounds of potatoes from Williams Farm in Wayne County, 3,400 pounds of apples from Hudson River Fruit Distributors in Ulster County, and more than 11,000 pounds of milk and yogurt from Upstate Niagara Cooperative, Inc. to 500 families in need of assistance due to the coronavirus pandemic. We thank the Food Bank of the Southern Tier, the volunteers, and our farmers--making these connections is so important! @ Rock on Café
We’re looking forward to continuing our work on the Initiative with our food banks, farmers, and processors. Funding can be used by food banks for food drive-through events/giveaways, the direct purchase of products, and distributing dairy vouchers that can be redeemed in grocery stores for products like cheese, yogurt, milk, sour cream, and butter. Food banks are expected to receive funding and begin purchasing soon. Learn more:
