GROW YOUR OWN FAIR: MARCH 21
Join us for our annual Grow Your Own Fair this Thursday at the Evans Towne Farmers Market. This is probably my favorite event of the season. Come learn from area hobby farmers and gardeners about growing your own fruits, vegetables and backyard poultry. Get your hands dirty learning about earth worms, healthy soil, smart watering, herbs, bat boxes and a new way to do raised beds. Fruit trees, bushes and veggie seedlings for sale.
FIVE FARM TOUR: MAY 18-19
Augusta Locally Grown and Culinary Connections will host a one-of-a-kind, five-farm tour in mid-May. Farm visits will include White Hills Lavender Farm, Savannah River Farm, Flat Creek Cheese Dairy, Southern Native Plantings and Walker Organic Farms. Enjoy at Savannah River bbq on Saturday night and a pick-your-own cooking class on Sunday night. Cost is $75/person plus lodging. Fun, fun, fun! Space is totally limited. Tickets go on sale next week!
VEGGIE TRUCK UPDATE:
The Veggie Truck Team will launch the Veggie Truck Farmers Market of Harrisburg on Tuesday, March 26. Locally grown foods from Addersons Fresh Produce, IceBox Farm, Shady Creek Greens and J&L Farm will be on sale at this EBT-friendly market. Big thanks to Wholesome Wave for their generous partnership in this endeavor.
EVANS TOWNE FARMERS MARKET:
