In March we will be having another Bucket Brigade!

This FREE event will happen on March 16th from 10am - 1pm at our Farmers Market building. Address is 4024 Richlands Hwy, Jacksonville NC 28540.

This is a great opportunity to plant your own portable garden in a "Grow Bucket." The portable garden is perfect for small spaces & patios. Additionally, there will be lots of local partners there to give out free tips and information!

Along with all the great information & planting your own portable garden, there will be free hot dogs & chips!

Don't miss out on this great event, we hope to see you there!

Bucket Brigade Partnership: Reaching out to neighborhoods without a store that sells fresh produce. The Salvation Army of Jones & Onslow Counties and the N.C. Cooperative Extension, Onslow County Center.

Special thanks to: White Oak High School Horticulture & AG Students, Walmart Super Center #7099, and NC/Onslow Caring Communities Foundation.
