CCE supporting veterans with new education program
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Cornell Cooperative Extension of Broome County is ensuring local veterans have the opportunity to learn more about agriculture and the importance of healthy eating. CCE, in collaboration with the Broome County Veterans Services Agency, announced the launch of the 2025 Broome County Veterans Resiliency Project. This initiative will provide local veterans with hands-on training and support in nutrition, healthy eating, gardening, and agriculture. The project will kick off on May 10 at the Broome County Regional Farmers Market, located at 840 Upper Front Street in Binghamton. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., veterans residing in Broome County will receive $15 in farmers market coupons. These coupons can be used the same day to purchase produce, proteins, dairy, and other goods from market vendors. Proof of veteran status is required, and the veteran must be present. Coupons will be distributed under a clearly marked banner welcoming veterans to the market. Additional distribution dates will be held in the coming months. In addition, veterans or their spouses who receive SNAP benefits are encouraged to visit the farmers market's information booth to learn about the Fresh2You program. This initiative allows SNAP users to exchange their benefits for market tokens, doubling their purchasing power. The program will continue on May 21 with a hands-on cooking class at 5 p.m. at the CCE Broome County office. The class will teach participants how to make fresh ricotta cheese, with veterans taking home their homemade creations. The class is open to veterans, military members, and their families, with proof of service required.
