Upcoming Programs:

The Healthy Start Partnership has launched a campaign to promote healthy family meals, "Eat Well, Eat Local & Eat Together" or Eat3, for short. Each week during October, one meal is featured in local media and grocery stores. Eat3 is a project that helps you choose, prepare, and enjoy healthy family meals using locally-grown produce. In Herkimer County, participating grocery stores include Dolgeville Big M, Little Falls
Big M, Great American in West Winfield and Melrose Supermarket in Frankfort.
