During the COVID-19 pandemic many Owen Countians took interest in trying to raise their own food like their ancestors did. The Owen County Ag Agent Kendal Bowman and NEP Assistant Mimi Quiroz partnered with the 2020 Victory Garden Campaign to teach local residents how to raise food in small areas. Bowman and Quiroz brainstormed and decided to teach a series on how to raise a pallet garden. Over 6 families participated. Their mission was to empower the participants with the skills and resources to raise food for their family next year.  The Owen County Extension Office provided the participants with a pallet lined with plastic, soils, and a frost canvas they can uses season after season. The Extension Office also provided the participants with plants and seeds this first year. Bowman and Quiroz plans on making frequent house visits educating the participants on how to read a seed label, how to plant, and recipes for the crops.
