Ward 8 Farmer's Market

Art of War Concept: Each pound of food taken from the enemy is equivalent to twenty pounds you provide by yourself.

This past weekend, I made a trip over to THEARC to check out this season’s Grand Opening of the Ward 8 Farmers Market. If you are looking for some fresh fruits and veggies while also seeing the smiling faces of some Ward 8 neighbors, then this is the place for you. Remember you have between June and Thanksgiving to purchase local produce.

Whats a Farmer's Market without fresh STRAWBERRIES!

This was the best part of the day. THEARC has an agriculture program where
Ward 8 Youth learn to grow fruits and vegetables in the campus garden.

Fresh Collard Greens grown by Ward 8 Youth! I can't cook, but
I'm sure they taste great.

Cilantro and Parsley

Kale

Onions & Cabbage

I know squash is good for you, but I can't stand it.

Ward 8 Youth always doing Great Things!

The Orange Cow Ice Cream Truck showed up!
