In 2027, Ohio 4-H teens will have the opportunity to participate in two unique Global Immersion Projects:

Greece at the American Farm School in Thessaloniki, where participants will explore agricultural innovation, food production, leadership development, Greek culture, and iconic destinations like Meteora and the Mount Olympus region.

Austria at the LFS Pyhra Agricultural High School, where youth will work alongside Austrian students, explore agriculture and food systems, visit Vienna, hike in the Alps, and gain real-world international experience.

These experiences are designed for Ohio 4-H members who are curious about the world, passionate about agriculture, and ready to develop their leadership skills.
To apply, youth must first receive a nomination from an Ohio 4-H Professional. Then applications are sent directly to those nominated.

Nomination deadline: September 30

Interested Ohio 4-H members should contact their county 4-H Professional at their local Extension office to learn more about the nomination and selection process.

Apple season is here! Visit the links below for tips on apple preservation. How do you plan to use apples this fall?

Preserving Apples?
Apples are one of the most versatile fruits - they can be eaten fresh, frozen, canned, dried, or turned into pies or apple sauce.
Apples contain vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber.
One medium apple contains about 95 calories and 3 apples will weigh about 1 pound.
To decide which variety of apples will provide the best results for your salad, pie, or other apple recipes - check out the Selecting, Storing, and Serving Ohio Apples Fact Sheet ohioline.osu.edu/factsheet/HYG-5507
Canning apples - ohioline.osu.edu/factsheet/HYG-5343
Drying apples - ohioline.osu.edu/factsheet/HYG-5347
Freezing apples - ohioline.osu.edu/factsheet/hyg-5349
Apple Pie Filling - ohioline.osu.edu/factsheet/hyg-5355
We can't wait to hear how you plan to use apples this fall!
