About the Grow Your Own Groceries Series

This virtual Grow Your Own virtual series started in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic as a way for extension experts to share research-based information with home gardeners on how to grow and prepare fresh produce. Five years later, and it's more popular than ever!  

At the end of 2025, the series had delivered  77 presentations that reached more than 28,000 people in 57 Arkansas counties, 31 states and seven countries. More than 30 extension experts in Agriculture, Horticulture and Family and Consumer Sciences have presented during the series. 

Participants were surveyed, and 95% said they gained knowledge about growing food and cooking skills.

We hope you'll join us in 2026.
