| Impact Report | In order to encourage public consumption of more fresh fruits and vegetables, the Home Economist provided a cooking demonstration at the Artesia Farmers Market in September. Fresh produce was used to create new tastes for traditional recipes. Vendors at the market provided most of the produce used in the cooking demonstration and the public was invited to sample the creations. The Home Economist developed a short brochure with recipes and tips for using produce from back yard gardens in several different ways. Other publications from NMSU College of Agriculture and Home Economics were also available to encourage and assist the public with small scale vegetable gardening. The Home Economist communicated with market customers about ways to get the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables in their daily diet at an affordable price and with variation. The demonstration took place from 8:00 am until 1:00 pm and forty seven people participated and took information. |
