Every Growing Health
event gets bigger and better. In 2006, over 200 people sampled dishes
prepared with local fresh food by some of the area’s most popular
chefs. In 2008, over 250 people came, more local restaurants, wineries
and breweries were featured, and we offered information about where to
purchase food from farms in the region.
In 2010, we are back by popular
demand! Our evening food, wine and beer tasting event will be truly
sumptuous! And for the first time, due to tremendous interest, Growing Health 2010
features a full day Farms,
Food and Health Conference. Attend the
conference, the evening local foods tasting, or both.
The
Rural Health Network of South Central New York extends many thanks to

healthy communities. Support from sponsors helps keep event costs
affordable and makes it possible for the Rural Health Network to
continue and expand its important health promotion programs through the
