Taylor County Schools hosted a farmer's market for our students today. Students participated in agriculture lessons to learn where their food comes from and earned $4 in vouchers to spend at the farmer's market. Farmers from Green Acres Farms sold locally grown items. Melinda Frances, from the WV Office of Child Nutrition in conjunction with Appalachian Acres Farms, provided microgreen taste testing. Students also received a “Potter the Otter’s Market Adventure” book from the Taylor County School Curriculum Department and seed packets from WV Extension.
