Farm and Family

With June comes the start of summer and an abundance of fresh produce available at the Henry County Farmers Market.  

The market is open at the courthouse lawn on Saturday and Wednesday mornings.   

The Henry County Extension Homemakers celebrated their 79th annual meeting this past week at the Extension office.  

Every year during late spring and early summer, I receive numerous questions about plant disease and insect damage.
These calls can be anything from brown rot on grapes to alfalfa weevil control and everything in between.
Probably eight out of 10 calls, my first question will be, “When did you start noticing this problem?” and usually the answer will be “Today!”
By looking at the plant sample, it is clear that the problem has been happening for weeks.

Are you looking for fresh, local fruits, vegetables and meats? Come to the Henry County Farmers’ Market.
Local vendors only sell produce and meats raised in Henry County.
The Henry County Farmers’ Market is open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon on the front lawn of the Henry County Courthouse and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. during peak season.
In addition, most vendors accept senior and WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program coupons.
Do not hesitate and make your way to the Henry County Farmers’ Market!
