Commentary:
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension showcases most of its publications on this comprehensive and user-friendly site. Not only do the experts here tell you what to eat, but they tell you how to eat and even how to shop.

The topics covered span the generations, from homemade baby food to folic acid for seniors. There’s even information on how to get the most cooperation from your kids in the grocery store (“Winning Ways to Grocery Shop with Young Children”) and at the dinner table (“Making the Most of Family Mealtime”). There are fact sheets for teen vegetarians and helpful tips on stretching your food dollar. If you want to learn about canning, freezing, or donating your home-grown produce, you can find guidance here. Make herbal vinegar, “get on the grain train,” or calculate the sodium content of your lunch.

In many cases, readers can choose to view articles directly on the website (complete with colorful graphics) or to download printer-friendly PDF versions. A handful of publications cannot be accessed electronically and must be ordered, but the University of Maine demonstrates credible proficiency with everything they make available to visitors to this site. Therefore, we would expect the same high quality in those (mostly) free pamphlets available for ordering.
