Low-income shoppers buy bigger shares of their groceries at some farmers' markets than at other stores compared to middle- and high-income shoppers. Help us address one barrier: lack of awareness of markets and SNAP programs.

 LC MG classes this week:
*Tuesday, February 19th Plant Diseases & Plant Diagnostics Melodie Putnam Both A.M. & P.M. sessions

*Thursday, February 21st Entomology- World of Insects and Identification John Pinto A.M. session

*Building a Raised Bed Cloche, Cold Frames & Drip Irrigation Bill Biernacki & Jeff Olsen P.M. session

The Plant Diseases and Diagnostics and Insect classes are extremely valuable and taught by experts in their field. I highly encourage veterans to attend to advance their MG training.
Bill Biernacki has offered to sell the cloche he assembles for $40.00 (does not even cover materials costs; plastic may need replacing shortly).

If you are interested come to class that day and put your name in. One lucky name will be drawn. You will need to make arrangements for transport. Bring a check or cash.
Looking forward to seeing you.
