Preparing food for the Fourth of July

MANHATTAN – The Fourth of July is full of food, fun and fireworks. As family and friends attend gatherings and events, Kansas State University food scientist Karen Blakeslee says food safety should be a top priority during festivities.

Finding common ground

Good friends can have a good time no matter what they are doing together. That is how I ended up helping with a Yoga on the Farm event at Hildebrand Dairy near Junction City recently. The event was organized by CommonGround Kansas, an organization of farm women in Kansas who share information and personal stories about farming and the food they grow.
