New Drawing: Brook Bound Farm

Now more than ever it’s apparent how important farmers are in supplying nutritious, healthy foods for our community. Today I wanted to highlight Brook Bound Farm, a local Salem County family farm offering produce to the public from their farm. This week they have: arugula, garlic greens, leaf lettuce, micro greens, pea shoots, and salad combo (8 oz of leaf lettuce, radishes, and 4 oz bag of baby lettuce). Order by Wednesday and pick up on Saturday. Be sure to follow their Facebook and Instagram Brook Bound Farm for more information how to order and weekly updates as they add more varieties of produce as the season progresses.

2019 Penns Grove FFA Calendar Donation

This week I met with the Penns Grove High School FFA Officers to make the donation from the 2020 Salem County Farmlands Calendar. This year’s donation totaled to $735, the largest one to date! 
In total, I have donated $2,000.00 to all 3 Salem County FFA Chapters! Thank you so much to my customers for supporting not only me but the students who are learning to become active participants in our agricultural community. It’s such an honor to have my artwork help so many young people across our county.

Here I am pictured with President, Teagan Rudderow.
