Chefs for the Marcellus is a group of chefs, restaurateurs, farmers, brewers, vintners, and other food professionals who have come together to protect our regional foodshed from the dangers of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas (fracking). This highly industrialized form of drilling is already in widespread use in 34 states, including Pennsylvania, where it is wreaking havoc with farms and the water supply. Unless we say no right now, Governor Cuomo is poised to allow fracking in vast areas of the Marcellus Shale, a geologic formation that covers a large area of the mid-Atlantic region, including much of New York’s southern tier — an area of pristine waters; produce, dairy and livestock farms; and breweries and wineries. More than 150 prominent chefs and food professionals from upstate and downstate have already endorsed our campaign. Please get involved by signing our letter to Governor Cuomo asking him to ban fracking in New York State.
