Our Master Food Volunteers in Fairfax recently participated in National Farmers Market Week at the County Government Center Market. Katie Strong, Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent for Fairfax, and Mae Carroll, Farmers Market Coordinator for the Fairfax County Park Authority and a very active Master Food Volunteer, are featured in this YouTube video, which will air on the Fairfax County internal news station, Channel 16. Our Master Food Volunteers provide food demonstrations at these markets to showcase recipes for using local produce and choosing healthier options for fruits and vegetables.
Way to go! We appreciate the hard work of our Family and Consumer Sciences Agents and Master Food Volunteers!
