It might have been an early morning for the Extension staff but it is one of our favorites. Time for the Robeson County Farmer's Market, Summer Extravaganza. For the last four or five years we have partnered with our local farmers to offer one heck of a sampling of the local foods they grow. The farmers donated a great deal of what we "cook up" often with a healthy twist. This year on the menu our staff included: Dirty Mashed potatoes, veggie pizza, cucumber salad, boiled nuts, egg plant mozzarella, sliders, much more (including blackberry lemonade and mint cucumber water to wash it all down with). 
The Master Gardeners were on hand answering questions and helping the Jr. Master Gardeners sell some plants. The hospital was on hand to make blueberry watermelon smoothies. Lets not forget all the farmer's who were on hand making sure that everyone could buy everything they had sampled and more. We hope the extravaganza heated things up for our local farmers and their incredibly wonderful local foods.
