About New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets
The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets is a state government agency rather than a law firm. Operating under state law, it oversees farming-related regulation, weights and measures, and the production and distribution of food across New York. Its stated mission centers on promoting New York agriculture, protecting environmental stewardship, and safeguarding the food supply, land, and livestock.
The department's work includes investigating animal and plant diseases, administering food-safety and labeling rules, and checking that scales and fuel pumps measure accurately. It also runs the New York State Fair and supports producers through marketing programs such as Taste NY. Its Division of Agricultural Development has team members in Albany and Brooklyn, plus a New York City office that works on urban agriculture and links upstate growers with downstate markets. The mailing address is 10B Airline Drive in Albany.
