Weekly Update for August 15: Start the School Year Right

Ready or not, here it comes! School starts next week for USD 379 Clay County and most surrounding districts. With the start of school comes the big question: what's for snack?! The Farmers Market provides lots of options for healthy, delicious after school snacks. Why not serve up a colorful bowl of watermelon and cantaloupe? Or a plate of zucchini bread? One of our household's favorites is a plate of sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, cheese, and ritz crackers with ranch dressing. It's easy, and our girls love them.

Weekly Update for August 8: National Farmers Market Week

It's official. August 2-8 is National Farmers Market Week, and August is Kansas Farmers Market month. As one blogger said, "In Kansas, we've believe our farmers and markets are so sensational we need an entire month to celebrate."

In honor of the Farmers Market week, we want to sincerely thank the Clay Center community. It has been a great year for the market -- and we're not even to the half-way point yet. It's inspiring and rejuvenating to see the number of vendors and visitors to our farmers market grow each week. All the time, work, and investment in the gardens are worth it, when we see people enjoying themselves Saturday morning at the Courthouse square. The Clay Center Farmers Market has become more than just a means to sell produce and products; it's also an experience that we look forward to each and every week.

The weather has been kind to us lately, and the selection at this week's Clay Center Farmers Market will be plentiful. We expect to have Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, Sweet Corn, Red, All Blue, and Yukon Gold Potatoes, Onions, Cucumbers, Green Beans, Beets, Cabbage, Peppers, Eggs, Breads, Zucchini, Squash & Spaghetti Squash, Jams and Jellies, Buffalo Meat, Dried Flowers, Flavored Vinegars, Smoked Brisket, and much, much more!

We hope to see you there. Bring a friend with you!
