New York State tax credit encourages farmers to donate to food banks
The particular produce being packaged by Russel Farms won't make a profit for the fruit and vegetable farmer but instead the cabbage is being donated to the Food Bank of Western New York.
“We want to do our part to get fruits and vegetables locally grown to as many people as possible,” said Peter Russell of Russell Farms.
The food bank hopes the new tax credit will help fight food waste and the credit couldn't have come at a better time with demands for food ever growing.
