CANCELLED: Eating for Maximum Nutrition - with Master Gardener Volunteers

• Wednesday, November 29, 2023, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Based largely on Jo Robinson's book "Eating on the Wild Side: The Missing Link to Optimum Health", this presentation will explore the invention of agriculture and its effect on the wild plants that comprised our original diets. Though the foods we eat have decreased in vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants over the last ten thousand years, there are ways to reclaim them! The presenters will provide interesting scientific data and fun facts on what plant varieties to eat and how to prepare them for maximum nutrition.

Sara Trimm grew up gardening in the Midwest and has been raising food in Colton for 20 years. She loves reading about nutrition and working in her garden. Both Sara and Brad completed the Master Gardener Volunteer Program in 2022.

Brad Pendergraft came to the North Country in 1979 as a homesteader, has gardened in the North Country for the last 44 years, and grows vegetables in a 40' x 60' garden in Parishville. He is a retires geology and earth science teacher.
