Farmers Market Coming to Two South-End Schools

Some south-end elementary students and families are about to take a trip to the farmers market without leaving their school.

This month, the Eat Better, Feel Better program is hosting Family Farmers Market Nights at two Beacon Hill elementary schools: Maple and Van Asselt.

The goal is to present an  opportunity for students and their families to gather for an evening of great food, nutrition education, planting, shopping, and math. Students will practice their math skills by using play money to purchase real produce. At the end of the night, each family will go home with a bag full of fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy.
