Discuss organic food benefits at the library

Living on a budget does not mean you have to miss out on the benefits of organic foods.

Jennifer Klein, a registered dietitian with the ShopRite of Manchester, will discuss both organic and non-organic foods at four Ocean County Library branches and offer tips on how a person can fit organic foods into his or her budget.

Klein will also teach cooking techniques and offer samples from a recipe made with organic ingredients.

Berkeley, 30 Station Road, Tuesday April 10

Manchester, 21 Colonial Drive, Thursday May 3

Jackson, 2 Jackson Drive, Thursday May 17

Stafford, 129 N. Main Street, Tuesday May 22.
