Teen Growers at the Market on Military

Have you seen the community gardens around town?

A group of teens that participate in the Brown County UW-Extension program planted vegetable plants this spring and are now ready to harvest and sell them to you. They will be at the Market on Military August 9th and 16th. In addition to fresh produce, they also sell processed jam and pickled beans and cucumbers.

This education program teaches local teens skills in horticulture, nutrition, local food, financial management, teamwork, marketing and business. You can follow them on Facebook Brown County UW Extension Community Gardens. https://www.facebook.com/bcuwexgardens/

“It has been a rewarding experience to see the youth open up to new opportunities like learning about the science of fish and plant systems, aquaponics, and beekeeping. They also have been excited to try new foods like honeycomb right off the beehive and zoodles and zucchini bread made from vegetables they have grown themselves. I am proud of the teens working together to create their own logo and team name, “Guardians of the Garden,” that they will be displaying on their t-shirts at the Military Ave Farmers’ Market,” expresses Teen Farmers’ Market Coordinator, Clarissa Skaletski.

The Market on Military is excited to have the teen growers! Come to see how they GROW!

D&T Gardens

D&T Gardens Bloom This Year

When the owner of D&T Gardens, David Horkman, is working the fields, Brian is attending the Market on Military to sell the crops. This year Jenny, a long time market employee, is also working in the fields and the crops are producing better than average. It might be her touch or our great weather this summer! (After the late snow melted.)

D&T Gardens attends all three of the Green Bay markets and works closely with the Women Infant Children (WIC) nutrition program which supports healthy eating for young children and their parents. Customers can use vouchers to purchase the locally grown produce. In addition to the produce grown in Howard and Black Creek, Brian also sells peaches from Georgia and blueberries from Michigan.  

Electronic Benefit Transfer or better known as EBT is another method of payment customers can use to buy the produce. “One woman thanked me for accepting EBT payments and said that because she could use EBT, her grandkids can eat good food,” said David Horkman.

EBT is a food subsidy program through the government and the Market on Military also doubles the EBT amount up to $10 per day from a grant program sponsored by HSHS. The program encourages healthy eating and the fresh produce at D&T Gardens is a great fit.

One of my favorite products from D&T Gardens are the big yellow onions, they are super sweet. A quick and easy meal for the summer is to fry a couple pieces of bacon. When they are almost done,  add the onions, sliced zucchini, and lastly add green beans. Eat it alone or with pasta or rice. Yummy and healthy!

 

A bright new sign and warehouse sale at H.J. Martin and Son

The beautiful new sign at H. J. Martin and Son is announcing the popular, yearly warehouse sale!

A line starts to form before the opening time with anxious customers waiting to get the best pick of samples, over stock, remnants, one of a kind items, and more. Great prices on everything!

But go prepared to know the sizes of things you need! Will that box of tiles work for the table I want to make? Is that carpet piece big enough for my space?

Here is what their post says:

Tough on Crime

GBPD – Capt Todd Signs

Military Avenue is getting Tough on Crime!

The Green Bay Police Chief will be deployed in stores around town. In an effort to curb retail theft,
the Chief will share a few different messages about shoplifting.   

Our Military Avenue district is full-size on board with this crime prevention method as retail crime costs all of us and hurts the businesses. There are daily calls to pick up shoplifters from some of our stores.

Military Avenue businesses that want an appearance of a “Chief Smith Anti-Theft cut-out” should contact Captain Todd LePine Green Bay Police Department Desk: (920) 448-3333 Ext. 1, Cell: (920)  370-6370

Help us to focus on stopping retail theft by supporting the effort of our Police Department. And say hi to the Chief from the right side of the law.
