Farm to Table

The Ruston Farmers Market flag was flying 

at the Ruston Historic Fire Station Saturday night

 in honor of the Farm To Table fundraiser.

.

The Back Forty Band provided great bluegrass music for guests to enjoy as they mingled before the dinner began.

The delicious dinner consisted of produce provided by the Farmers Market vendors that was prepared by every one's favorite chefs from Rosemary's Kitchen. The dishes were seasonal, fresh, and scrumcious!

North Louisiana Farm Fresh is using the proceeds from the dinner to begin conversion of the Old City Warehouse on East Mississippi street into the new, permanent location of the Ruston Farmers Market.  Thanks to ticket sales, a cork pull, and art auction they are well on their way!

North Central Louisiana Master Gardeners Association also supports the Farmers Market.  Master Gardener Patricia Jones donated one of her impressive art works to the cause.  Our President, Kit Hanley, was working hard that night doing a little bit of everything!  I could hardly get her to slow down for a picture.

Jean McWeeney was everywhere at once, and gave a very informative overview of the plans for renovating the warehouse.  Other Master Gardeners were in attendance, showing their support.

Good luck to our friends at the Farmers Market!! We all look forward to shopping in your new "home" in the fall.

Love ya'll,

Shelli
