Subject: Locavore Kids - Please send to CHP Garden Committee
Kerry:
Would you please send out the following info to the CHP Garden Committee? I talked with Jim Wilmoth, and he said that Kay Barlow will offer discounted rates or donations from groups of children and staff attending from community agencies. The normal cost is $10 per family yet Kay is glad to have groups come at a much discounted rate.
Locavore Kids will be held on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at Barlow’s Mill, 369 W. Main Street, Fredonia from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. This is a family and community event with tours of Kay Barlow and Jim Wilmoth’s organic gardens, fruit and veggie food prep demos, taste testing, composting, etc.
a.. Food demonstrations - cooking with kids, sample delicious results
b.. Taste tests & samples - compare fresh picked with grocery store produce
c.. Garden & vineyard tours - vegetable, wildflower, juice and wine grapes
d.. Sustainable farming practices - composting, rain barrel demonstrations
The normal fee for the event is $10 per family yet Kay Barlow is eager to have community agencies bring children and is happy to talk with organizations about a small donation in lieu of the normal fee. To learn more about the event and see photos, visit – www.barlowsmill.com. Phone #673-9020.
