Spring has finally sprung and the count down has begun for our first market on June 4th! This is the season of new beginnings. As we begin our third year, the market has grown to include more and varied vendors. In forthcoming newsletters, we’ll share a bit more about returning farmers, as well as new we welcome to the market. We are kicking-off our new Membership Program.
Our Speaker’s Bureau is underway offering lectures, workshops and classes in all areas of sustainability education. Focusing on education is an important goal for our group, teaching you how to make the best of your shopping from the farmer’s stand to your table.
What to do with all those vegetable peels, how worms can make a contribution and ways to eat locally, even in January. With excitement and anticipation we hope to share the many ways eating seasonally and locally can positively affect us all. Shop, attend, volunteer and join the Geneva Green Market, NFP. If we all participate our results will be fantastic!
