Kate Mitchell Elementary School students will be selling produce from their garden 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 29 at a Farmers' Market at the school.
Vegetables include potatoes, carrots, squash, tomatoes and various herbs. The students will be running the market and the proceeds will go towards funding their community garden project next year.
The night includes live entertainment including musical performances by Jen McClung from 5-6 p.m. and Old Hat from 6-7 p.m., art displays, and garden tours led by the students. In addition to what the students will be selling, several local farmers will also be selling produce from their harvest including Prairie Moon
Farm, Huber Family Farm and The Berry Patch.
Kate Mitchell Elementary students will be selling
refreshments, Wheatsfield Coop will host a food booth, and Mary Greeley Medical Center will provide a nutrition education arts & crafts booth for students and families.
