| Impact Report | An outreach program utilizing the community garden concept was initiated with a local drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. The Eddy County agriculture agent work with designing, planting and growing a vegetable garden. In 2011, thirty eight parents female completed the program, with 39 youth. Over 95% were minority low income, including hispanic, native american. Clientell came from all over New Mexico and West Texas. Contact with preivious clients from the past two years indicate that some are still gardening. This year did not include a meal planning, home preservation, or cooking because Eddy County does not have a home Economics Agent for the entire year. This was really missed and commented upon by the staff at the facility. Nutrition education also was not completed for the same reason. The 2011 impact was signifiantly less then the privious two years. |
