The Vance County Regional Farmers Market has some exciting activities planned as we get into “peak season”! This Saturday, June 20th, we will have live music provided by the Buggs Island Community Band, plus story time for the kids! Also this Saturday at 11 am we will have a free seminar on “Preventing Deer Damage in Your Garden”.
The excitement continues on Wednesday, June 24 when the Big Shopping Cart from the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services makes an appearance! At 13 feet tall, and powered by a Chevy 396 engine, the Big Shopping Cart is a site to see. Of course, it has to be that big to hold all the great produce that we grow in North Carolina! Also on June 24th, another free seminar on “Raising Fruit in Small Spaces” (12 pm, feel free to bring a bag lunch).
The Vance County Regional Farmers Market is open Wednesdays and Saturdays, 7:30 am to 1 pm. For more information, http://go.ncsu.edu/VCRFM, 252-598-0814 or farmersmarket@vancecounty.org.
