Edition
3 DSS Management Team Sponsors a Back Pack Food Collection Drive
The annual Farm-City Week breakfast hosted by the Bladen County Cooperative Extension Office staff shifted to a drive-thru grab-and-go on Friday, November 20th. The smiles behind the masks of Director Becky Spearman and staffers Stacie Kinlaw, Elizabeth Blanks, LaToya Lucy, Krista Johnson, Nelson Brownlee, Joel Fulton and William Craig greeted supporters just as staff did a year ago when inside the Pow-ell-Melvin Agricultural Service Center.
Those coming by got a swag bag of goodies enhanced by sponsors Smithfield Foods, N.C. Pork Council, Four County Electric Membership Corp., Elizabethtown Kiwanis, Farm Bureau, Thompson’s Small Engine Repair, Hardee’s, Baldwin Branch Missionary Baptist Church, Cape Fear Farm Credit, Star Communications, Rep. William Brisson and wife Bren-da, and Ward Farms and Dan Ward.
The staff put together videos, which can be seen at go.ncsu/
edu/bladenfcw. The videos highlight the county’s No. 1
industry — agriculture and farmers.

Tasty Tuesday at Home Edition
By: Krista Johnson, NC Cooperative Extension Family and Consumer Science Agent
Did you know there is a food demonstration video series pro-duced right here in Bladen County? The Tasty Tuesday at Home Edition series is a recipe demonstration series devel-oped by NC Cooperative Extension Family and Consumer Science Agents Krista Johnson (Bladen County) and Candy Underwood (Cumberland County). The last Tuesday of each month a new recipe, cooking method, and/or food item is highlighted in the demonstration and published on our North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service – Bladen County Center Facebook Page.
To receive each month’s video demonstration and recipes directly to your email, please register at go.ncsu.edu/tasty_tuesday .
We recently highlighted a Pumpkin Pecan Parfait! In addition to demonstrating the recipe, we also shared how to select pump-kins for baking, and how to prepare your own homemade pump-kin puree that can be used in a variety of different recipes
