Emerson-Garfield Community

Friday September 15th will be the CraftWalk.  We will have a few extra crafters with us. Due to ratio requirements for farmers markets we can only have so many craft vendors at each market so this is an opportunity for others to join for one day. We will also have the legislators for the 3rd District join us to listen to concerns and questions.

Friday September 22nd will be the North Monroe Business District Market Takeover.  There will be a basket giveaway along with a few of the businesses on Monroe joining us.

Friday September 29th is the final market day for the season.  It will be Costume Day and Apple Pot Luck Day (for making apple cider).  This should be a full market and lots of fun for everyone.

We hope to see everyone there!

Growing Neighbors Tour de Farms event is coming up on September 16th from 9-noon. There are 4 gardens, featuring edible plants, that are available to tour “open house” style from 9-10:45 a.m. All are welcome to visit as many as possible (preferably by walking, jogging, or biking) then gather at the Shadle Library for a cooking demo, snacks, prizes, produce exchange, and celebration from 11-noon.

This is a chance for us to inspire others to grow and share healthy food and relationships in their yards or neighborhood community gardens near them. We’re also hoping folks will be inspired to donate toward Growing Neighbors to help continue our mission. We’d love your help promoting this!
