Michigan Fresh
What’s the best way to cook those vegetables you bought last week at the farmers market? How do you select annuals that will make your yard pop with color? Learn about the best that the Great Lakes State has to offer when it comes to things that grow with help from MSU Extension’s Michigan Fresh program.
Michigan Fresh helps people explore the state’s bounty of fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamentals. Every week throughout the summer you’ll find information on recommended varieties, storage, food safety and preserving techniques for fruits and vegetables or for planting and maintaining your lawn and garden. Look for the information from early in May to mid-October.
If you have seen the Michigan Fresh fact sheet series, we’d like to know how you are using what you’ve learned. Please complete the brief Michigan Fresh survey to inform us of what you have learned from the program. Survey participants will be entered into a weekly drawing to win a $10 gift certificate to the MSU Extension Bookstore.
