Event: Harvesting and Food Safety
When: Tue, Aug 31 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm Description: Many home gardeners loose a significant portion of their crops to improper harvesting, storage, or handling practices. It is estimated that as many as 76 million people in the U.S. contract some type of foodborne illness each year. Careful harvesting and processing procedures can result in higher yields, a reduction in microbial health risks, and prolonged post-harvest shelf life. Join Dr. David Handley as he provides information that will help you make the most of your garden’s bounty. Refreshments will be served.
