The fall harvest: What to do with what you grew

If you spent the summer tending to your garden and have more produce than you know what to do with, join a conversation about what to do with what you grew.

MPR News host Emily Bright dives into ways to preserve, store and cook what came out of your garden or is abundant in farmers markets.

Whether you’re a gardening pro or just trying your hand at it this season, Emily’s guests walk you through the best practices for harvesting and what you can do to prepare your garden for next spring.

Guests:

• Natalie Hoidal is an educator and researcher for the University of Minnesota’s Extension program. She works directly with farmers and gardeners and supports them with all aspects of vegetable growing and harvesting.

• Dorothy Stainbrook is the owner of HeathGlen Farm & Kitchen, a small farm and commercial kitchen in Forest Lake. She is a longtime vendor at the St. Paul Farmers’ Market. And she runs the website, Farm to Jar, which focuses on gardening, food preservation and healthy eating.
