THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FARMERS MARKET IN HOBSON CITY PHASE FOUR OF THE AGRICULTURAL CENTER
Phrase four of the Agricultural Center will be the establishment of a farmers market in downtown Hobson City and the participation in other farmers markets that are already established in the surrounding area . The first produce from the garden each year will still be given to the church and the elderly . Giving the first and best produce back to the Lord is a principle that our organization was founded upon and we will continue to honor and implement this sacred activity . However , in order to sustain the garden we must generate a source of income in order to purchase the materials and supplies that are needed for efficient operations and management . Our plan is to have the Hobson City market open each Saturday and Wednesday morning as produce is available beginning in May of 2012 . We will also participate at the Zinn Park market in Anniston on the same days . Some of the funds generated from the sale of produce will go towards setting up a scholarship fund for youth who participate in garden program . Another strong principle that our organization was founded upon is that education is the key to the future .
