Yuma County Public Health and U of A host Farm to Family Day
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma County Public Health Services District and the University of Arizona hosted the annual Farm to Family Day event Saturday morning.
The event ran from 9:00am to 12:00pm at the University of Arizona Yuma Agricultural Center located at 6425 W. 8th St.
Families were also able to learn about food science, gardening and composting.
"So by being able to pick it right out of the field and then taste it right over there, they're able to get that true farm to table experience and understand that it doesn't come from the grocery store, that their food does come directly from the farm."
Tricia Kinnell, Program Coordinator for the Yuma County Public Health District
Families were able to tour the farm, create recipes and leave with free produce.
