Hooray Bibb County!

It seems as if the "hunger" for local, fresh produce has expanded to the depths of Bibb County.
The Alabama Cooperative Extension System, along with a handful of growers and farmers, are planning to set up a farmers market this summer supporting local farmers by selling tasty peaches, beans, corn, zucchini, and other fruits/vegetables to Bibb county residents (and I guess whoever else stops by!)... Even a certified organic farmer is on the list- with herbs, fruit, and vegetables (and maybe cut flowers?)! I thought I would never see the day when local organic produce was readily available in the backcountries of Alabama... (yay!)
If my memory is correct, they are going to hold the market at the BC Chamber of Commerce? or somewhere in Centreville...
I saw this first in the Centreville Press, but here's a seperate link to an article mentioning it.

I'm also doing an internship with Jones Valley Urban Farm all summer, which includes some Saturdays selling produce at the Pepper Place farmer's market! Not to mention some quality physical labor in the hot sun through the week. (my idea of a good time!)
So- this summer, I'm going to be eating like a queen.


(if queens like fresh black-eye peas).
