Chard, tomatoes, peppers, and sage, oh my! TMA’s Green Club
got the garden ready for winter by sponsoring a Farmer’s Market this past
Thursday after school with the season’s final harvest. Green Club members sold
herbs such as thyme, rosemary, sage, chives, lavender, parsley, mint, and dill,
as well as other vegetables, including green tomatoes, several kinds of
peppers, eggplant, and chard.

| All of the produce was grown in TMA's Garden! |
Elegant bouquets
of zinnias, marigolds, and mums, made by Sydni Foshee, were also a huge hit!
Green Club was also fortunate to be joined at
the Farmer’s Market by Candice Sullivan, a personal chef matched with TMA
through the Chefs to Schools Program.

Ms. Sullivan gave recipe ideas to
interested buyers and explained how to store herbs until ready to use (wrapped
in a damp paper towel in in the fridge).

The Farmer’s Market sold almost all of
the harvested produce and made nearly $100 to support the efforts of Green
Club! Not a bad way to end a season!
