Saturday, June 26th: Pin the Dot on the Butterfly!!!!



Look for these brightly colored butterflies as you enjoy the market with your family and friends.





When you see them stick a dot on them to make them even more colorful!
You can get your dots from the SPROUT House!

Also, come join us for the Oxford, July 3rd Parade! SPROUTS will be participating in it, and we would love to have you!

Fruit Leather Fun!!!!











Last Saturday, we had Dan Remley from Ohio State University Extension Agency for Butler County join us. He helped us learn a food preservation technique for summer berries..... FRUIT LEATHERS!


Don't forget to stop by the SPROUT House and pick up your beautiful and delicious Strawberry Leather! They all turned out wonderful, great job SPROUTS!

Saturday, June 19th: Food Preservation Activity

Hello SPROUTS!

I am so very excited about this Saturday's SPROUTS activity.
We will have Butler County Extension Agents join us and help us with a food preservation activity.

With berry season upon us, we will learn a way to dry wonder strawberries and make them into Fruit Leathers (much like a more natural version of a Fruit Roll-Up).

Once you make your Strawberry Fruit Leather, you'll place it in the food dehydrator and next Saturday, June 26th come to the SPROUT House and taste the fruits of your labor.

I look forward to seeing y'all on Saturday for this fun and educational experience!

P.S.
****Mark you calenders for Saturday, July 3rd Bicentennial Parade! SPROUTS will be joining the parade and we would love to have as many of y'all join us. On Saturday, June 26th at the Market we will be decorating and creating materials for our parade theme: Passionate Pollinators".

Saturday, June 12th: Sunflowers!!!!


Summer is almost here, and in honor of it being just around the bend, we will celebrate by planting sunflower seeds! As you shop with your families, follow the arrows around the market to gather the supplies you need to plant your seed.

Y'all can also join in on the SPROUTS Sunflower Growing Contest.
Stop on by the SPROUT House on Saturday and find out more details on the planting activity and contest:)
