We are a local food pantry. We are open twice a month on the first and third Saturdays. We welcome anyone that needs assistance. We have a lot of immigrant families. We serve 260 families a month. Our goal is to provided the healthiest freshest foods we can. We appreciate all the fresh grown vegetables we can get by you wonderful growers.
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.
