Don't forget Kentucky writer, Barbara Kingsolver's book, Animal,Vegetable,Miracle. It will remind you of your childhood in Kentucky. It was not that long ago (30-50 years)when our small communities were much more sustainable, without relying on mass produced,marketed,transported, and anti-bacterialized resources for food and daily living. We have turned a blind eye, or just didn't realize the damage we are doing to the health, behavior, economy, and environment of our children/future generations. We need to take time to remember the goodness and quality of the resources we shared, produced, and enjoyed in our youth. Thank you Sustainable Glasgow for helping us to remember! I want to join.

This year we plan to have the market on the Barren County Courthouse lawn each Saturday morning from 8:00 till noon, just like last year. Right now we are working to plan and get the necessary approvals from City and County governments to make this happen. Stay tuned here for more information about this year's market and make sure to attend the winter markets at the Barren County Agricultural Extension Service office on West Main Street on February 11 and March 10.
This link takes you to a PDF file of the market layout for 2011 and we expect 2012 to be virtually the same.
