Grow Your Own Food and Preserve It For Later

The faltering economy combined with interest in healthy food choices has led to an increase in calls to Oregon State University Extension Service county offices with questions about growing food in home gardens and preserving it for later. People who want to start gardening are concerned not only about the price of food, but growing fresh produce that they know is safe. Many also want to know what grows well in their area and how to participate in community gardens. Click on the "Growing Your Own" logo above for begining gardening and food preserving information.
