Outcome: Initial Outcome

Members of the Harlan County Agriculture Advancement council saw the need for more information and education opportunities for producer growers in the county.  The Harlan County Extension Service along with the Harlan County Farmers Market and Pine Mountain Settlement School worked together to design a curriculum to better equip gardeners with information and conduct a five month long series of produce production workshops, at two locations, along with a Produce Best Practices Training for local gardeners and farmers.  Topics included planning, preparing, care, harvesting and marketing.  Currently, of those attending the series, seven farmers/gardeners are marketing their produce via the Harlan County Farmers Market or other locations this summer.
