“We’re proud to help shine the spotlight on all of New York’s terrific growers and producers through Governor Cuomo’s Taste NY program”, said State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball. “By working with our partners at Price Chopper/Market 32, who value our local farmers and source locally-produced foods, we are able to reach even more consumers. New York State has a great story to tell when it comes to agriculture and our agribusinesses. The Homegrown Flavors –Taste NY Day will provide us the opportunity to share that story with shoppers who will be able to meet the producers behind the products.”
More than 40 of Price Chopper/Market 32’s many local and regional suppliers will be on hand to chat with customers about what makes their products special and to offer free samples.
“As a homegrown business ourselves, we like to call special attention to our trade partners who are producing right here in New York,” said Mona Golub, Price Chopper/Market 32’s vice president of public relations and consumer services. “We are deeply committed to sourcing locally grown, produced and manufactured products as a way of stimulating the economies in our local communities, satisfying regional tastes, ensuring farm-to-table freshness, and continuing our long-standing practice of supporting small family businesses and farms.”
“R & G is thrilled with Price Chopper/Market 32's commitment to featuring local producers in their stores,” said Sean O’Connor, Head Cheese Maker, R & G Cheesemakers. “As a proud supplier to Price Chopper/Market 32, we're very excited to participate in their Homegrown Flavors event for Taste NY.”

About Taste NY: Taste NY is an initiative launched by Governor Cuomo in 2013 to promote New York’s food and beverage industries and drive agritourism across the State. It is overseen by the Department of Agriculture and Markets and has created opportunities for local producers to showcase their goods at a variety of venues throughout the State and at large public events, such as the Great New York State Fair and the Barclays Tournament at Bethpage State Park.

The program reported sales of $4.5 million in 2015 and nearly tripled those figures to more than $13.1 million in 2016. Today, New York products sold under Taste NY branding are available in more than 60 locations throughout the State as well as the New York State Office of Trade and Tourism in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
