1 Chenango County New York Meat & Livestock Producers Direct Marketing List Published in collaboration with the Chenango County Agriculture Development Council

2 Chenango County, in the heart of South-Central New York State Prepared by Rich Taber, Grazing/Ag Economic Development Specialist Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chenango County 99 North Broad Street Norwich, N.Y Phone: ext The purpose of this document is to link consumers with meat producers in Chenango County, New York. Many of the producers can arrange to sell freezer beef in bulk, such as quarters, halves, and whole animals to consumers; some can provide individual cuts. Other types of meat are mentioned specifically. A typical method of purchasing, but not the only method, is to pay the producer a given price per pound hanging carcass weight, and then to pay the processor separately for butchering, cutting, and wrapping. Cornell Cooperative Extension does not endorse any given producer, but is merely sharing information given to us by the farmers/producers. Arrangements for sale of meat products are strictly between the consumer and producer. Mission Statement Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chenango County strives to promote educational opportunities that enhance quality of life through business, community and leadership development by fostering social and life skills in our community s youth and adult population. Visit us at Cornell Cooperative Extension actively supports equal educational and employment opportunities. No person shall be denied admission to any educational program or activity or be denied employment on the basis of any legally prohibited discrimination involving, but not limited to, such factors as race, color, religion, political beliefs, national or ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital or family status, veteran status, or disability. Cornell Cooperative Extension is committed to the maintenance of affirmative action programs that will assure the continuation of such equality of opportunity. This is the first version of this list and more producers will be added as time goes on. Producers are listed by townships in Chenango County. 2
