Eating for Maximum Nutrition: Tips for home cooks and gardeners

• Saturday, September 19, 2026, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

When Master Gardener Volunteer Brad Pendergraft read "Eating on the Wild Side: The Missing Link to Optimum Health", he wanted to share what he learned with everyone! In this class at the Badenhausen Public Library, Brad will provide interesting scientific data and fun facts on what plant varieties are most packed with nutrition and ideal ways to prepare them. He'll take you on a journey from the wild plants that comprised our original diets to those we see in grocery stores today. Find out how to reclaim the vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants that have been lost in favor of other characteristics and get gardening tips if you're inspired to grow your own food.

Participants can check out the book "Eating on the Wild Side" by Jo Robinson, or visit her website: eatwild.com if they want a head start, and can enter at the event for a book giveaway!

There's no pre-registration for this event, see you at the library!

Brad Pendergraft came to the North Country in 1979 as a homesteader, and has gardened in the North Country for the last 46 years. He is a retired geology and Earth science teacher and grows vegetables in a 40' x 60' garden in Parishville. He completed the Master Gardener Volunteer Program in 2022.
