MSC Grows for Local Resturants


Morrisville State College Horticulture department grows greens such as lettuce and spinach for local restaurants. The class is averaging a harvest once or twice a week...after being harvested the products are brought in and cleaned throughly and then delivered to local restaurants such as the Copper Turret, Mustang Ally etc..This is the second year that the Hort Department has been involved in this process. Each year they seem to learn more and more about the products, how to keep them clean and how the restaurants like the products. The restaurants are enjoying having the fresh products through the cold months and from an extremely local source, plus it is a great learning experience for the students!
