SION SCENE
North Carolina
AGRICULTURAL
EXTENSION
SERVICE
John G. Richahmoh
Mann was a super month
weatherwise, and it appeared
that we were well on our way
toward one of the earliest
growing seasons that we had
experienced in many years.
However, when April arrived,
the weather situation changed
rather dramatically, and even
though no serious crop losses
have occurred in Robeson
County, everyone is aware of
the devastation that cold
weather has wrought upon the
apple and peach crops in
other areas of the state. Thus,
it now seems that our growing
season this year will be very
average, and we will not see
romatoes, cucumbers, squash
and other desirable garden
products quite as early as we
lad originally hoped. There
ore, upon reviewing the
iverall situation, it now
appears that few goods will
ae available prior to June 1 for
he opening of this year's
adition of the Farmers M ar
ret.
Plans are very much under
way for a Farmers Market this
fear, and based upon the
Tactions at the recent Farm
;rs Market meeting, the
producers are anxiously
awaiting die market opening
and an even more successful
season than was experienced
last year. One of the most
thrilling features of the Farm
ers Market has been response
after response of those indivi
duals who sold products
through the Farmers Market
indicating the economic Ben
efits that they received per
sonally from their participa
tion in the market. Naturally,
this is a major reason for
conducting a market of this
type, and with the anticipated
expansion of the activities in
Lumberton, in addition to a
potential Fanners Market in
Pembroke, it appears that this
direct farm to consumer mar
keting concept will pay ex
cellent dividends for practi
cally everyone in Robeson
County.
I musftdmit that since I am
n the position to provide
considerable leadership for
he Farmers Market and have
nown for a long time^that
uch an effort would be
nplemented again in 1982, I
ave decided that with the
vailabie time that I have,
lat 1 can buy my family's
eeded produce from the
armer's Market rather than
lending hour after hour in a
ickyard garden. I suppose
at some people might call
e avoidance of planting a
uden just plain laziness, but
tving a-Farmers Market
ally does seem mightiy nice
d easy compared to the
ernatives.
Through our coo the ts with
lMduals who anticipate
rticipating in the Farmers
irket aa well as through
cussion at the meeting, it is
ry apparent that these
xluceri are making stag-.
gered plantings uiu year
whereby they will be able to
offer specific products over a
much longer period of time.
Many of the producers are
especially staggering their
sweet corn plantings so that
roasting ears will be available
for a month or longer rather
than a vast quantity being
available at one time and then
facing a situation of not
having any at all.
It has also been determined
that the market will again be
held at the Farm and Family
Center which is located on
Roberts Avenue in Lumberton
and will be open on Wednes
days and Saturdays beginning
around June 1 and closing
around November 1. The
opening and closing times
have been changed somewhat
from last year. The market
will open at 9 a.m. each day
and will close around 3 p.m.
or until the available produce
is sold.
As in the intitial marketing
effort last year, we will insist
that anyone participating in
the Farmers Market only sell
locally-grown products. There
fore, while we have encour
aged the producers to be a
little more prudent in display
ing their available goods and
with the resultant expected
improvement in display of
products, we still give assur
ance that only local growers
will be participating in the
market rather than outside
professionals.
We also anticipate hiring an
assistant manager to be on
hand the first four hours of
each day's market operation.
We are primarily looking for
an individual who is interest
ed in this type of part-time
work and who would be
available throughout the sum
mer on both Wednesdays and
Saturday mornings. We feel
that periiaps a retired person
would fit these qualifications
best. Therefore, anyone who
miy be interested in applying *
for his part-time position as
assistant manager at the
Farmers Market is encourag
ed to call the Extension Office
at 738-8111.
As one can readily per
ceive, it is apparent that with
the further growth of the
market, more efforts are
being applied to provide
improved service to both the
producers and the customers.
Therefore, should anyone
' have any thoughts or com
ments or constructive sug
gestions relating to the Farm
ers Market, the invitation is
always open whereby one may
call the ExtensiQn Office and
share those draughts with us.
Naturally, as die weeks pais
and the opening date of the
Farmers Market nears, we
expect to mount a major
publicity campaign to notify
everyone of the planned Far
mers Market activities, so be
sure to look for it, because it's
coming!
