Illinois Extension Healthy Food Choices
Having trouble putting healthy food on the table for your family with today's food prices? You're not alone. Extension can help you get the most from your food budget with information, recipes and tips for stretching your food dollars.
Did you know Extension has food preservation resources, including free home canner testing? Call 815-632-3611 for an appointment to bring in your dial-gauge pressure canners to test for accuracy. If the dial-gauge is not measuring the correct pressure, foods may be under-processed, which increases the risk of serious illness from botulism. Annual testing is recommended.
Get up-to-date preserving information from Illinois Extension.
Are you considering selling food grown or made in your home, like vegetables, breads, or custom cakes? If so, learn more about how to comply with the Illinois Cottage Food Seller regulations to ensure your products are safe for the public and your home business is in compliance with the law.

Illinois Nutrition Education Programs provide nutrition education to individuals and families in communities around the state of Illinois. This program is provided as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed).
By providing easy solutions through in-person lessons and online resources, this program makes the healthy choice an easy choice where families eat, learn, live, shop, and play. Programs are based on current research and engage learners in practical, hands-on classes and activities.
Program staff also partner with local organizations as part of the overall effort to promote healthier food choices. By focusing on improving food access, increasing the likelihood of healthy choices, and helping families save more money, we are making a difference in the lives of Illinois families and their communities.
