Please bear with us as we completely overhaul our CCE Essex website and content - new website coming very soon!

If you are having trouble accessing information on this website or need materials in an alternate format, Contact essex@cornell.edu for assistance.

Cooperative Extension puts a wealth of useful, research-based information at your fingertips!

In addition to what you'll find here on our website, we offer free or low-cost workshops on topics that range from how to make healthy food on a budget to starting a home vegetable garden. Explore our links, check out our upcoming events, then give us a call or visit the CCE-Essex offices to learn more. We're here to help, with information -- and people -- you can trust!
