Madison County Garden Club
In keeping with the club’s charitable and educational mission, the Madison County Garden Club is launching our first charitable project in coordination with Beacon of Hope and the Madison County Community Housing Coalition (CHC). As people cope with loss of income, they are turning to home gardening. With a current shortage of seed and expertise, we are asking members to dig into their seed reserves and propagate vegetables that will be given to Beacon of Hope/CHC for distribution to those who are most greatly impacted by the pandemic. The club will develop a simple planting instruction sheet to accompany the plants.
Our coordinator will be Ed McNally. If you wish to participate, please e-mail Ed with the types and quantities of vegetables that you wish to contribute. Ed can be reached at [email protected].
Highland Station
Highland Station plant sale was so successful today that we will only be open from 10-2pm tomorrow and closed on Sunday due to rain and lack of starts until next week.
We thank everyone soooo much for coming out today and being supportive!
Next weekend will see even more varieties of plants.
We will open the market on May 1st! Local milk, eggs, meat, and a few staples like rice and beans.

Spring Creek Community Center
This saturday, the 4th starting at 11am, we will be opening our lawn to farm and grocery vendors looking to help folks out by selling their wares. The idea is to help the community out, and prevent trips to town for supplies.
Because this is the goal, and where we need to be careful of being safe. There are a few restrictions we would like to put in place. All vendors must set up at least 10 feet apart. We would prefer this be done as a drive through type of thing where folks dont need to get out of their cars. We would ask that only folks providing farm/grocery or sanitation types items come. So we ask that vendors for jewelry, sculptures, other art, please sit this one out. This helps with not having any crowds, and will help to keep this safe. Dave thomas will be at the restaurant if you have questions, you can call the restaurant at 8286220001. There will be no charge to vendors to come do this.
This is a community service and by members of our wonderful community who want to help others here. Please do not hang out and talk, we really need to not have a gathering happening here. It will get shut down if safety measures are not followed. At the restaurant we will also be selling some essential items as well to help. If interested in selling your items, you can just come, no need to RSVP, however there will be limited space.
If your coming to sell, maybe post here, what items you may have for sale.
