Garden Friends from CWC sell veggies at Farmer's Market Produce grown at Indian Pride Arboretum on main school campus There are some wonderful new producers at the Adair Farmer's Market this year. Garden Friends, from Colonel William Casey, was there bright and early this morning selling Bibb lettuce, pencil thin green onions, and green beans. The Garden Friends at the market were Logan, and Austin Bradshaw; Kieren Ussery, and Jera and Kyla Kessler; and Ashley McLean. Their sponsors are CWC first grade teacher Debbie Bradshaw, and Arlinda Kessler, the EFNEP (Expanded Food Nutrition Education Program) director for the Cooperative Extension Service. Most of the food for the market is grown at the Indian Pride Arboretum in the CWC Veggie Garden. All the work is done by the kids, and the money from the sale of the vegetables goes to buy seeds and equipment for the coming year. Vegetables are also grown at homes Vegetables are also grown at home, Mrs. Bradshaw said. The program gives seeds to kids who prefer to grow vegetables on their own places. It's not all work. Yesterday, Jera Kessler said, they made fruit smoothies and then harvested the veggies, did some mulching, and pulled a few weeds. Kids just need to apply to Arlinda Kessler or Debbie Bradshaw to get in the program. The Farmer's Market is open throughout the growing season each Tuesday and Friday at 6:00am CT, and runs to 10am CT. It is located in the parking lot of the Adair County Cooperative Extension Service, 409 Fairgrounds ST, Columbia, KY. Stalls are under nice shade trees. Among items sold this week are green beans, lettuce, cabbage, new potatoes, and a variety flowers. This story was posted on 2006-06-20 11:29:33
