potatoes

Having the proper timing down is an important part of preparing a big meal

The food bank says they are especially thankful to receive local, nutritious produce to distribute to Hunger Relief Partners and Mobile Pantries across Wyoming. Potatoes are a great food item for this project as they generally have a longer shelf life than other fresh produce, which allows Food Bank of Wyoming to offer fresh, locally grown produce without the increased risk of spoilage.

Food Bank of Wyoming and two University of Wyoming Extension programs worked together to get locally grown potatoes onto the tables of Wyoming families.

Potatoes may be the most versatile food in the world with many different ways to use them for nourishment.

In case you haven't noticed, it is now November and we are just weeks away from Thanksgiving. So now it's time to start thinking about what you might be having on the menu for your particular Thanksgiving dinner!

Cold weather, a bad harvest, and rising demand could cause potato prices to rise or even a possible french fry shortage.
