Who knew there were so many people interested in chickens? Terry Golson's seminar 'Intro To Chicken Keeping' was a big success - we ended up with standing room only!   We will be hosting another free seminar by the 4-H Club on Raising Chickens - date & time will be posted here within a few days. Thank-you to everyone that visited our market this season.  We had some really great vendors. If anyone knows of any vendors that might make a good addition to our market next season, please send me an email.  Here are some photos from the last market of the season.
