4-H FROZEN FOOD SALE UNDERWAY

The annual 4-H Frozen Food Sale is underway by Wells County 4-H members and volunteers. Order forms are due March 22 at the Wells County Extension Office located at 1240 S. 4-H Road, Bluffton.

Over 100 items are included in the selection which ranges from frozen fruit and vegetables to fish and chicken. Many of the fruit and vegetables are bulk packaged in ten, twenty, or thirty pound containers. Most of the fruit can be ordered with or without sugar and are excellent for pies and desserts.

Many of the fruit and vegetables are individually quick frozen (IQF) which means you can just pour or scoop out what items you need. Some of the most popular items ordered include: chicken breasts, skinless, boneless, and uncooked; chicken breasts, boneless skinless, and uncooked; Red Tart Cherries, quick frozen so that you can pour out what you need each time; and Raspberries, red and black.

Special offerings during this sale include: meatballs, Italian style; Pollack Fillets; Peaches; Red Raspberries; Potato Wedges; Fruit Variety Pack (strawberries, cherries, and pineapple); and vegetable pack (peas, corn, green beans, and broccoli).

Customer satisfaction is assured by a money back guarantee from Wilson's Zero Foods on all products. Wilson's Zero Foods have been a long time supporter of 4-H and work closely with over 60 counties in Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania with this unique and practical fund raiser.

Food orders should be picked up on Wednesday, April 7th from 2 - 5 PM at the Wells County 4-H Park in Bluffton. Proceeds from the Frozen Food Sales will go to the local 4-H clubs based on the sales and a portion will go to the new Wells County 4-H Junior Leader Food Booth Building Fund.

For more information and an order form, contact any 4-H family or the Wells County Office of the Purdue Cooperative Extension Service, 260-824-6412.
