Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home

Plan of Work: Making Proactive Choices For A Healthier Life

Outcome: Initial Outcome

COVID has brought many lifestyle changes to Louisvillians, Kentuckians and people all over the world. One of the most exciting changes is the renewed interest in gardening. This year the Horticulture agent spoke with a record number of first time gardeners looking to grow their own food. A Senior SNAP-ED Assistant & 4-H Assistant spoke with record numbers of first time gardeners who wanted to learn how to cook their own food. This led to a partnership between Horticulture, SNAP-ED & 4-H to create a Garden to Table Video series on YouTube.

The goal of the videos is to show viewers how to harvest and prepare fresh produce in a healthy manner. Each member of the team has an important role in the process. The Horticulture Agent shows viewers how to identify which vegetables are ripe in their garden and proper harvesting techniques. After that, the veggies go into the kitchen where SNAP-ED & 4-H assistants teach viewers how to prepare an NEP-approved recipes. Thus far we have two fifteen minute videos available on the Jefferson County Extension YouTube page with more in the works.
