When you’re planning your community garden this year, save space for some soybeans. They’re good for your health and your wallet.
Through May 25, school and community gardeners can get free soybean seeds through the Cooperative Extension Service’s Grow Your Own Protein program as long as they donate their produce to schools, churches, food pantries or other nonprofits serving food-insecure populations. The seed giveaway has been part of the Soybean Science Challenge program for eight years. It started in 2016 with 12 gardens in Arkansas.
Request forms are available online at https://uaex.uada.edu/seed-request. Requests should be completed and sent to Diedre Young at [email protected]. Seeds will be mailed to recipients.
