The purpose of this research was to estimate the level of surplus on small-sized farms in the Capital Region and find markets for this surplus to serve low-income consumers in Saratoga County. Significant food is left either unharvested or unsold on regional farms while many residents of Saratoga County experience low food security. Both of these issues could be alleviated by providing farms with the resources needed to cost-effectively harvest and distribute surplus to serve those in need.
