Create Farmers' Market Window Garden
Jeanne
Grant, Ripley Farmers' Market |
In
preparation for the upcoming opening of the Ripley Farmers'
Market on Saturday, May 26 two RUHL students, Brittany Dodson
and Austen Bahnsen created a container garden as a community
service project. The plants and materials for a kid's activity
area were provided through a "Learn & Serve America"
grant.
The Farmers' Market will open its season with a Plant Sale.
Shoppers may expect spring greens and early vegetables. Baked
goods, waffles, morning coffee, used books and music by local
musicians will be found in the new "Farmers' Market Cafe"
open 9am to 12 noon in the Croppers Store building on Main Street
across from the Union Township Library.
Anyone interested in becoming a farmers' market vendor is welcome
to contact Mary Dodson, President of the Ripley Farmers' Market
Vendor Assn (937) 392-6025 for information. Fund raising groups
are also welcome.
