Accessing Nutritious Food in Menifee County

Interest in food preservation has been on the rise recently. This growth is due to a greater number of people raising home gardens as well as increased shopping for local, seasonal foods at the Menifee County Farmer’s Market. Menifee County Extension Service provided a three-part food preservation series that reached ten families. The Extension office has also received an increased number of calls regarding food preservation since the beginning of the series. For many people this was their first experience with food preservation. Extension Service has worked to provide up-to-date information on food preservation for those who are beginners as well as those who have done it for a lifetime.
