Speakers include:
“Making the Most of Your Seasonal Produce” Chelsea Wunnicke: Whether your garden yields an abundance of produce, or you find deals at the farmer’s market or the grocery store, you want to know the right way to pick, store and preserve seasonal produce to make the most of the harvest. Extension resources teach you how to keep it food-safe and high quality for you to enjoy!
