Pollinator Day!

The market is in full swing, and it was wonderful to see so many families come out for our first Kids Day event of the year! 

Thank you to all who participated by providing activities, donating produce for sampling, bringing your kiddos to the market, and shopping with our amazing local vendors!  Big thanks to the Indiana Gazette for coming out and covering this event, as well!

Kids of all ages tasted locally-grown lettuce at the market information booth, planted seeds with Tinkergarten, created sticky nature collages with SQUAD Jr. Art Studio, and picked up coloring books and other resources about the harmful effects of smoking from the Armstrong-Indiana-Clarion Drug and Alcohol Commission

We also enjoyed live music by Dan Stonerook and incredibly tasty samples cooked up by the talented chefs of Philly Street Station, highlighting our featured veggie of the week - lettuce!


This week there is even more fun coming your way!  

Wednesday, we welcome the IRMC Food & Nutrition Department to the market.  Stop by to sample some fresh veggies with dip - and take home a recipe!

Saturday, it's Pollinator Day!  Let's celebrate and learn more about our pollinator friends! 

In addition to our amazing local farmers and producers, you can visit with the folks from Indiana PA Honeybee and try to spot the dancing bee buzzing around our market (you may recognize her from the market or the Indiana Community Garden) - jump in and join her for a round of the "waggle dance"!  We'll also welcome local artisan Melissa Kosinski and enjoy live music by Country Blue.

Did you know that pollinators are responsible for bringing us 1 out of every 3 bites of food?!  Join us in celebrating National Pollinator Week - learn more about why these tiny creatures are so important to our ecosystems and food supply and what you can do to help.

Mother Earth Farm joins us for the first time this season.  Mahoning Creek Farm will not be at the market this week.
