SUNY College of Agriculture and Technology at Cobleskill

I mean, we feed them to our chickens, we compost, we donate what we can, but sometimes it's just The chaos of it all, you just can't keep up with it all.

And so we have recently started working with a shared use kitchen at SUNY Cobleskill.

And I've gotten my 20C license and I've started learning how to preserve food.

We have a line of salsa, pickles, dried herbs.

Um, she's the agroforestry and natural resources program manager at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Columbia and Greene Counties Agroforestry Resource Center and Sicella, I don't know if I'm saying that right, Model Forest.

She graduated from SUNY Cobleskill's Plant Science and Horticulture bachelor program, worked on the world's largest wild simulated ginseng farm, and manages her own forest farm.

She's the co-chair of New York State Agroforestry Program work team and educator of general forestry and agroforestry topics such as deer browse, mushroom cultivation, ginseng production, plant and mushroom identification, as well as foraging classes.

And let me see if I can get her on.

So, so well, before we get into that, what got you into natural resources or agroforestry or all of the above? What got you into this?

Yeah.

So I was at, um, SUNY Cobleskill studying plant sciences.

I was really interested in food production.
