News, information, and updates involving Chautauqua County, NY and Live CHQ!

With Spring just around the corner, we wanted to share the news about the return of a special program that benefits individuals and families who live in Chautauqua County - no matter the location or community! Thanks to the USDA, Cornell Cooperative Extension Chautauqua is happy to organize the Grow Chautauqua food box distribution program. Each week, local, county-grown produce is procured and purchased from local farms and distributed at no cost to the local community. All Community Members are welcome to participate.
