[quote=Anonymous]This is so impressive, at Janney.  The only drawback is that in sits an almost unattainable bar for other public elementary schools in DC.  But it's certainly a nice extra in the kids' overall excellent educational experience.

"Did you know that Janney Elementary School hosts a weekly School Garden Market?  The market will run on Thursdays starting in September through November 19 from 3:30 - 5:30 pm. It will be held in the outdoor classroom in the main gardens, or indoors in case of rain.

Our market features our own produce, grown, harvested, and sold by Janney students, rounded out by fresh produce from local farms. We also sell eggs from our own chickens and honeybee products from our hives: lip balm, candles and honey.

In addition, Tenleytown Meat Company is lending its support to Janney! Come to the Tenleytown Meat Company stand at the Janney School Garden Market to buy onsite and/or pickup your pre-order. Grass-fed & Finished, Local, Dry-Aged Antibiotic-free meat.  http://www.tenleytownmeatcompany.com

Student, teachers, and volunteers manage the market as an educational program for the students and a benefit for our community.  We keep the produce prices as moderate as we can for fresh grown, organic produce.  Any proceeds from the market go back into the Janney Garden Project.

Have you noticed how we turned a dusty field into a flourishing garden? It takes many hands to help it grow! Hope you will come out to support the school gardens and enjoy fresh "Janney Grown" and local produce."[/quote]
