The growing season is just around the corner, and you can always count on El Paso County Colorado State University Extension to offer classes that can help.
But alongside the lawn and garden webinars are more in-depth classes on food preservation and healthy eating. And, if you want to make your own goodies to sell at farmers markets, there are courses for learning about food safety and getting certified for cottage food production.
Here’s a look at some of these offerings, which you can sign up for at elpaso.extension.colostate.edu. Many are free or a very reasonable price.
