EXTENSION EFFORTS ADD 64,000 POUNDS OF FRESH PRODUCE TO CENTRAL ILLINOIS TABLES –

The goal was 1,000 pounds of produce; instead, the first year of Extension’s Partners in Produce project tipped the scales at over 25,000 pounds. With the enthusiastic support of the growers and buyers at the Arthur Produce Auction, University of Illinois Extension has provided more than 116,000 pounds of fresh produce to central Illinois food pantries in three years.
