Cape May Court House, NJ – Rutgers Cooperative Extension (RCE) of Cape May County Family & Community Health Sciences and Agriculture & Natural Resources Departments will present the workshop, Eat What You Grow: Fall Session, on Tuesday, October 7 from 6:30 to 8 pm and Thursday, October 16 from 1 to 2:30 pm at Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County, 355 Court House-South Dennis Road, CMCH, NJ 08210.
The program is the fourth workshop offered as part of the Eat What You Grow four-part seasonal series offered in both the evening and daytime in 2025.
The presenters are RCE of Cape May County’s Anneliese Kuemmerle, MS, RDN, FCHS Program Associate II and Jen Sawyer Caraballo, ANR Program Associate II, “This series is a fantastic collaboration where we can share with attendees not only how to grow fresh fruits and vegetables, but what to do with their harvests – whether cooking, eating fresh or preserving,” said Sawyer Caraballo.
The classes focus on seasonal vegetables and fruits, giving participants nutritional information and preparation ideas while teaching about growing tasty produce in a home garden. Participants attending either October session will learn about planting garlic, cool season crops, overwintering crops, fall flavor profiles, and a healthy twist on seasonal comfort foods. Also, attendees will take home garlic to plant and recipe ideas for healthy holidays.
