Canandaigua, NY-In this day and age most people are trying to eat healthy with emphasis on eating local fresh produce. What could be any more fresh or local than growing it yourself. Come learn how you can grow fresh, nutritious salad sprouts/microgreens throughout the winter months and ahead on Thursday, November 11 from 6:30 – 7:30 pm at the Ontario County Cooperative Extension, 480 North Main Street, Canandaigua. These sprouts/microgreens are grown in soil and include sunflower, radish, buckwheat, pea, and broccoli.
