Food Science

Take charge of what you eat! Stay informed about what you can do to keep you and your family safe.

Home Preservation

Canning and preserving produce at home offers the opportunity to share not only the bounty of one’s garden, but the memories of recipes and ages past.

Home Food Safety

Food safety skills and habits start in the home kitchen. Starting and practicing food safety in your home can significantly reduce your potential food borne illnesses.

Nutrition

Nutrition tracks the nutrients we intake so that our bodies have all the building blocks necessary for proper function. When combined with food safety, which reduces disease causing microorganisms and other hazards, proper nutrition gives our bodies the best opportunity for health by encouraging essential processes.
