If you are old enough, you may remember your mother or your grandmother putting up surplus fruits and vegetables from the home garden. If you had family in Moore County in 1956, one of the women in this photo may be your mother or grandmother. Women strove to meet the recommendations in the Extension Service’s Food Conservation Plan. In this 1956 photo taken at the North Carolina State Fair in Raleigh, Moore County women proudly display the canned fruits and vegetables needed to see a family of five through the winter.
