Hoe Down, Sign Up

by Josh Wood Thursday September 11, 2008

The rainy Saturdays are piling up – and so is the harvest. Here are some notes about this Saturday’s market from the Friends of the Pawtuxet.

It just can’t rain three Saturdays in a row, so we are hoping for a good day at the Pawtuxet Village Farmers Market. More varieties of apples are arriving to join summer squash, green beans, radishes, tomatoes, and much more. Despite the weather last Saturday, the Happy Hollow Nursery School had a good bake sale, selling out except for one item, and making over $100.

Hoe Down
The Southside Community Land Trust will host its annual Hoe
Down, Saturday September 13 at Urban Edge Farm in Cranston. The event, which runs from 4 PM to 8 PM, will have plenty of food, music and dancing. It’s also a chance to visit the farm where Michelle from Zephyr Farms, the Xiongs and Christine Blue Sky Farms grow their crops.

Corn Huskers Still Needed
We will be husking corn for the Cranston school lunch program on Monday September 15 and 22 starting at noon at Confreda Farms on Scituate Avenue in western Cranston. If you would like to help on the 15th, contact Orchard Farms PTO President Lisa Gargaro If you would like to help on the 22nd, contact Rhodes PTO President Julie Bradley. The job takes a very pleasant two hours.

See you Saturday at the market.
