We are working toward starting a farmer’s market for those living in the area around Battlefield, western Nixa, Republic, Billings and Clever. The event will start in the spring of 2009. Even though that sounds a long time away, planning needs to start now. Early planting is critical for the growers who participate in farmer’s markets in this area. Many serve several markets, and they must plan early in the fall for next season’s growing capacity. If you would like to participate in helping to plan the market, we would like to have you attend. We need committee members and leaders. We are also in need of a market manager for the year.

Be part of your community and help it grow!!!!!
