NY State Grown and Certified
New York State Grown & Certified
The NYS Grown & Certified Program
was
designed to strengthen consumer confidence in New York products and assist
farmers so they can take advantage of the growing market demand for locally
grown foods that are produced to a higher standard. Certified producers are
able to use a special New York State seal that indicates the producer adheres
to higher standards of food safety and environmental stewardship.
