(Cass Co) Grow Another Row produce donations sites are open in Cass County for the 2023 season.
Kate Olson, Cass County Extension Director, said Grow Another Row is a Healthy Cass County campaign started in 2020 by a group of local growers to encourage residents to grow and share more fresh produce. Anyone is welcome to donate or take produce.
As the program continues to grow… so do the stands.
Participants are reminded not to wash produce before donating if they can’t dry it and to take only what they need. Be sure to wash the produce before eating it. Produce bagged or packaged in family-sized containers is requested if possible. Contact Kate Olson at the Cass County Extension Office by calling (712) 243-1132 if you need produce bags or containers to package donations.
There are still a limited number of tomato and pepper plants at the extension office. If you would like one to grow to donate to the produce stands, please contact Kate Olson. These plants are also available for those who need help affording fresh produce and would like to grow their own are welcome as well.
