Kids Are Farmers Too!


 Every Tuesday the Ukiah Public Library from 12 to 2pm kids of all ages from come to sell their fruits, vegetable, walnuts, even honey! We visited the market yesterday and met Isabel (pictured above) who was selling apricots. She told us that last week she was selling jam she had made with the tasty fruits last week and she sold out before she could even put all the jars on the table! Johnathon (pictured left) was selling wild plums he had gathered and honey from his very own bees.
The market is a great way for kids to learn how great growing and eating their own produce can be! It is part of the summer reading program "Reading is so Delicious" which has events on Tuesdays and Sundays throughout the summer.
