WSU Farmer’s Market

By on June 3, 2013 in Food, Resources

Welcome to the June 2013 issue of Wayne SEEDLING! It is being released earlier than usual in anticipation of our Wayne State Farmers Market’s Grand Opening June 5, 11 am, at 5201 Cass Avenue. The newsletter is attached here as a PDF, and will soon be available on SEED Wayne’s website (we’re experiencing server problems).

This issue of SEEDLING includes the following:
1. The Wayne State Farmers Market, which welcomes our 6th season on June 5 (page 1). Please come by and say hello to our vendors and program staff and volunteers!
2. St. Andrew’s Garden, in which 32 students, staff, and guests work 19 plots (page 1).
3. Summary of research on sustainable food system (SFS) activities at 22 urban public universities that shows how unique SEED Wayne is among peer universities’ SFS initiatives (page 3)
4. SEED Wayne thanks its friends for their generous gifts over the last five years (page 4)
5. Plus, the usual, SEED Wayne partners on page 2, and a Calendar of Events on page 3.

In addition, we’re also launching the first of our ‘Healthy Eats @ Wayne State Farmers Market’ Newsletter, which accompanies our nutrition workshops and other educational activities at the WSU Farmers Market. Published every other week until mid-September, hard copies of the newsletters will be available at the WSU Farmers Market and at midtown senior centers, Woodbridge Manor, Brush Park Manor, Warren Plaza, and Hannan House. An electronic copy is attached for your reading pleasure–it includes interesting information on two market favorites and also a great market recipe! Join us for a nutrition workshop with tasting samples available, during the lunch hour at the market.

Apologies in advance for duplicates or cross-postings. Please contact me at k.pothukuchi@wayne.edu with any comments or questions.

All of us at SEED Wayne are grateful for your continuing support, participation, and friendship! See you at The Market June 5!
