Friday's Farm Fresh Market hosted the first YWCA Kid's Market Day on July 23rd.
This event was attended by over 75 Y kids along with chaperons and volunteers.
For over two hours the kids learned about growing vegetables, alpaca farming, Adams County peaches, basket weaving, natural soaps, the history of agriculture, heirloom veggies and each youngster got a chance to design their own market tote bag for the day.
We would like to thank the Outlet Shoppes, YWCA, Penn State Cooperative Extension,
all the volunteers, Healthy Adams County, Adams County Local Food Network and
the market vendors for their time and generousity in making this program a success!

Growing the Next Generation!

Thanks to Nicole King & Sarah Maclay for bringing their class of future market consumers or growers to Friday's Farm Fresh Market last week.
The goal and inspiration of Nicole's Growing Awareness Camp is to educate the next generation on not only growing fresh food but to show how growers get their products to the marketplace. The stop at the farmers' market was a culmination of a two day tour of Adams County's local good and services.
The students had a question and answer time with each grower and producer at the market.
