Community Steps Up to Fund the Warren County Farm to Table Garden

Warren County Farm Bureau Board of Directors Vice President, Carlton Griffith, presented Amanda Wilkerson, Warren County 4-H Program Assistant, a check for $8,054.  Amanda heads up the planning and implementation of the new Farm to Table Garden.  
At their February meeting, the Warren County Farm Bureau Board of Directors voted to purchase a deer fence for the Warren County School System's Farm to Table Garden.  
Along with Farm Bureau, other local entities have contributed funding for this project. Jefferson EMC and Warren Conservation District have donated funds to purchase an equipment shed for the garden. Washington EMC gave funds to purchase irrigation supplies, growing supplies, seeds, plants and equipment for the school garden. In addition to these monies, Amanda has written and received a grant from the University of Georgia College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences that funded the purchase of two greenhouses and other equipment for the garden.   
Warren County Farm Bureau looks forward to helping with the many garden projects that will be offered to the students of Warren County Schools.
