Outcome: Initial Outcome
A gentleman came into the office asking to talk to someone about canning. He said he was at a local restaurant discussing preserving green beans using a water bath when someone from another table told him the extension office would tell him not to do it that way. He came to the office to find out what information he would get from the extension office. I explained that green beans should only be canned using a pressure canner and gave him information on canning practices. He was quite excited when I told him we could check out a pressure canner since they did not have one. As he left, he said, " I never knew the extension office had so much to offer." Upon returning the canner, he excitedly told us about his experience canning and the recipes he used that I provided. He has since come to the office for several things from Family and Consumer Science and our agriculture agent. In addition, at least three other people have come in to ask questions, saying that he had sent them telling them how valuable the office was to him.
