We are an all-volunteer food pantry located in an area of WA often referred to as a food desert. Our population is just under 8,000, the medial age is 62 with 41% being over the age of 65, and we have a poverty rate of 12%. Healthy food such as fresh produce is extremely important especially for seniors; however, it is a barrier for many. We began focusing on healthy food choices several years ago and our guests love it.

ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
