CJ\u2019s Organic Farm and Abundant Earth Farms will co-host a gardening class with tips on gardening in the coming season. They will cover what to plant in cooler weather, as well as how to build an inexpensive hoop house. There also will be a gardening project for kids.

A farmers market is a venue for fresh, local produce and other products, and provides a direct link between the community and farmer. Ideally, it should reflect the unique supply and demand of the location, and cannot survive without the support of the community.<\/p>\n
