“AgriMissouri will be on hand this Saturday to promote local food initiatives, their new Grow & Give campaign and the 10,000 Garden Challenge. They will also have promotional contests that you can only win by being at the market this Saturday. In March the 10,000 Garden Challenge was launched to get 10,000 Missourians committed to growing flowers, vegetables, or natives in their own yards or even on their decks. For every 1,000 gardens registered they have a drawing for a $500 gift certificate from Tractor Supply Company. Everyone who signs up also receives a voucher for buy-one-get-one tickets to Powell Gardens and a complimentary pass to Missouri Botanical Gardens.
Since the start of the challenge over 3,200 gardens have registered and more sponsors have come on board to support the challenge. The School and Community Contest can help you get seeds, trees and tools for your school or community garden. They have also launched the Missouri Garden Cities program to show cities’ garden pride and win trees for their community. Most recently they initiated a new Grow & Give campaign to support Missouri’s food banks and aid in disaster relief throughout the state. To learn more about the 10,000 Garden Challenge and AgriMissouri visit http://agrimissouri.com. While you are there be sure and register your own gardens to help make your community a Missouri Garden City.”

We will be there, with a limited amount of meat. We will always bring our Diatomaceous Earth, Bug Repellant, and our Red Clover/Burdock Seeds. Been trying to sift manure for our horse leavins', but this rain has made that impossible. Our day lilies, are doing super, so if anyone wants any let me know. Been trying to harvest nettles, maybe this week will be better. See you Saturday. Kim

Hello Brookside Market,
I have hopes that we will dry out by Saturday and that we will have a great
time at market with breakfast,veggies and music.
Luke and Mandi are impatiently waiting for their new one and everything is
going well so we are all looking forward to Mercedes arrival in the next few
weeks. Luke is hoping that she will work around his schedule (Ha!)
Chris will be back from his vacation with Bethany to Massachusetts. They had
loads of fun seeing all the historical sites and countryside. They were on a
tight schedule and I guess they will rest when they get back tonight!
Luke and Chris will have the usual baked good and burritos.Granola Bars and
Raspberry bars will be there also.
Have a great week,
Luke, Chris and Kathy
