Fresh vegetables are sprouting along and will soon be entering the downtown Farmers' Market. Until then, market goers were entertained by our human vegetable characters voicing what they can make at our 1st Eat Your Veggies Day in appreciate of the national celebration. The 10 year old cabbage expressed that she was a cabbage and "I make coleslaw!" A cute way to educate and have fun with veggies!
A special thanks to Diane Barga from OSU Extension for setting up in the windy city of Greenville to showcase her veggie balloons and knowledge of the fresh health snacks.
With characters, coloring books, and recipes, I would have to say the 1st attempt at veggie day was a fun and learning experience. Darke County Farm Bureau was a great help in accomplishing this day and we hope to continue to bring fun, educational activities to the market.
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, July 9. The market celebrates national ice cream month. Let's all Scream for Ice Cream, o' my favorite!!
