WITH COMMUNITIES TO DEVELOP THE DATA NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF FARMING AND DEVELOP AN INFORMED CONSTITUENCY TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM SUPPORT FOR STRATEGIES DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE CONTINUED AND INCREASED PRODUCTION. THE PROGRAM EXPANDED INTO MASSACHUSETTS, AS GLYNWOOD BEGAN TO WORK WITH THE BERKSHIRE COUNTY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION TO UNDERTAKE THE PROGRAM IN COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. AT THE SAME TIME, IN NEW YORK, THE PROGRAM SUPPORTED URBAN AGRICULTURE IN THE CITY OF NEWBURGH AND CONTINUED TO SUPPORT AGRICULTURE IN SUBURBAN ROCKLAND COUNTY. CREATED THE "APPLE PROJECT" - A SERIES OF INTERCONNECTED PROJECTS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF ORCHARDS BY ENCOURAGING THE PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS, INCLUDING APPLE CIDER.

ALL OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION

AMONG ITS OTHER EXEMPT PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS, GLYNWOOD WORKED TO SUPPORT THE ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF LIVERSTOCK PRODUCERS. IT DID SO BY SUPPORTING LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR LOCAL AGRICULTURE, INC (LILA), WHICH OWNS THE MOBILE SLAUGHTER FACILITY LAUNCHED BY GLYNWOOD IN 2009. THE UNIT WAS THE FIRST MOBILE UNIT FOR LARGE ANIMALS LICENSED BY THE USDA IN THE EASTEREN PART OF THE UNITED STATES. LILA ALSO PROVIDES TOURS AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE UNIT TO PEOPLE FROM OTHER AREAS THAT ARE CONSIDERING REPLICATING IT. ADDITIONAL SLAUGHTER CAPACITY IS ESSENTIAL IF THE REGION'S FARMERS ARE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GROWING MARKET FOR HIGH QUALITY PASTURED LIVESTOCK. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR INCOME DIVERSIFICATION IS INDICATED BY THE USDA AGRICULTURAL CENSUS DATA, WHICH REVEALED THAT 64 PERCENT OF FARMERS IN THE REGION HAD NO REAL NET INCOME. IF THESE FARMS WERE LOST, THERE WOULD BE A SEVERE INPACT ON THE REGION'S ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITIES. OTHER GLYNWOOD PROGRAMS, SUCH AS THOSE PERMITTING THE USE OF GLYNWOOD'S FACILITIES BY OTHER EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS AND SOME NON-EXEMPT GROUPS ALLOW GLYNWOOD TO RAISE ITS PROFILE AND TO EDUCATE A BROADER PUBLIC ABOUT ITS MISSION AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
