We appreciate your support. The goal of our initiative is to provide knowledge to our youth on where the food on their plate comes from. We also want to make sure we include vegetable, fruit, and meat production. \r\n\r\nThe tools from the grant were used to make a variety of items and demonstrate food preparation and preservation techniques. Deer meat from last year's hunting was brought in, prepared, then sliced and marinated, and put in the dehydrator for deer jerkey. Several varieties of cucumbers were harvested, then cleaned and sliced. Two types were made into refrigerator pickles and a third was canned in a dill vinegar brine and hot water bath sealed. The students were then able to compare taste, crunch and overall appearance to the specific varieties of cucumbers. \r\n\r\nThanks again !
