Education - Publications - Marketing Projects

is a marketing initiative introduced by the Department of Agriculture and Markets  in 1996. It is a labeling program that helps to identify and promote NY agricultural products.  USDA inspected lamb and goat carcasses and packaged meat qualify for the program.   Enrollees sign a Participation Agreement for the rights to use the logo and pay a one-time participation fee of $25.00. The logo is available as a label (2 sizes) that can be ordered at a small fee or as an advertisement slick that can be mailed to you at no cost.  You can then scan this adslick and incorporate it into your own labels and brochures.  We are currently checking into the feasibility of having the logo made into a stamp for identifying carcasses.
