Seeds to Success Farm Market Opening
by Suse Greenstone

The Seeds to Success Farm Market will be opening this year on Saturday, June 5, 2004, and will be open every Saturday, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., as well as every Wednesday, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Seasonal vegetables, fruit, and locally produced salsa, jellies, baked goods, eggs, meat and cheeses and other dairy products will be offered again–many of which are organically produced. All products being sold in the Seeds to Success Farm Market support equity and fair trade for the farmers and other food producers who provide the market products, with pricing that reflects this value. Once again, WIC and Senior Farmers Market Coupons will be accepted as well as Food Stamps for food products. The market will also offer indoor and outdoor plants, garden ornaments and other gift items. A membership flower buying program also call the Seeds to Success Flower CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) project will again be offered this year. There will be a 15-week program, running between June 16 and September 22, for $154.50, and an 8-week program, running between June 16 and August 4, for $82.50. Membership in the CSA includes one beautifully arranged bouquet of flowers each week. If interested in subscribing to the Flower CSA, call Barbara Gumm at 334-8694.

This year the market will run through the last Saturday in October, closing on October 30 at 3 p.m. Seeds to Success staff and program participants would like to thank all who supported the Market during the past two years. They are looking forward to seeing old customers once again and meeting new customers in this new market year! Flyers about the Market and its spring opening are being developed now. If you would like to help support the market even before it opens by distributing flyers in your neighborhood or with community organizations, please contact Suse Greenstone at 334-7634 X158 or at jcfs@superpa.net.

Seeds to Success Life Skills Program will also be participating with the annual Earth Day Festival on April 24, 2004, at the Adams County Agriculture and Natural Resources Center on Old Harrisburg Road by offering a sale of annual and perennial garden plants, to benefit the Life Skills Program.
