Sustainable food production practices have increased in popularity in recent years. The resurgence of gardens and backyard orchards have increased the demand for experiential learning that the Cooperative Extension Service provides.

All producers expressed interest in furthering their involvement with Cooperative Extension Service programs. Additionally, all producers expect a decrease in costs due to at home food production.
