Polk/Norman Extension Encourages Growers to Handle Produce Safely

Fosston, MN — Perhaps one of the most enjoyable aspects of growing a successful garden is getting to share the fruits of your labor with others. Whether you are giving cucumbers to a friend, donating potatoes to the food shelf, or selling peppers at a farmer’s market, Polk and Norman County Extension Educator Health Dufault says its important that you do so safely.

If you have any questions relating to gardening, you’re encouraged to reach out to your local extension office. Those in Norman and Polk County can contact Heather at 218-563-2465.
