Oregon City Farmers Market will have "Victory Gardens" again as the theme for the 2009 season. Starting May 2nd with Chicken Keeping we will have different aspects of food growing in 1/2 workshops at 10.30  each Saturday given by Master Gardeners.  A lot of the vendors will have vegetable starts and the Extension 4H kids will bring egg-laying hens for sale .

There is a huge interest in food growing in our area and applaud your show today, food insecurity is rife and there is a real calling for education...we are kid friendly and are planning programs to engage the young in raising some of their own food too.

Always looking for volunteers to help with demos.............orcityfarmersmarket.com

Keep up the good work everyone!  Jackie Hammond-Williams .
