“I’m bored!” It’s a familiar refrain for parents whose kids are home for the summer. But resist the urge to schedule every minute of the day! A little boredom can be a good thing. Talk to the kids ahead of time about activities they might do when they have downtime, and let them take it from there.

Celebrate Sweet Grown Alabama Day on July 26! Whether it is fruits, vegetables and honey or beef, pork and peanuts, Alabama’s farmers provide a bountiful amount of products for consumers to enjoy. The event aims to encourage consumers to support and show appreciation to local farmers. Consumers who support local farmers are also improving the state and their own health.

“It’s easy to participate,” said Sweet Grown Alabama Director Ellie Watson. “All you have to do is buy local. You can do that by shopping directly at a local farmers market or farm stand. Another option is to purchase local products at a grocery store or restaurant.”
