Path to the Plate
How to Grow and Use Fruits, Herbs, and Vegetables
As a program of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, the Path to the Plate’s goal is “to educate consumers so they can make informed decisions when it comes to agriculture and their health.” Their 2-page fact sheets on vegetables, herbs, and fruits are authored by experts from AgriLife and Texas A&M Horticulture. Listed below, each provides growing information and recipes. DCMGA appreciates AgriLife’s collaboration to make this valuable information available to consumers via our website.
