Each week, six Fillmore FFA members meet with Mr. Scott Beylik at Beylik Family Farms to plant and take care of different vegetables. The students’ goals are to sell their produce at the Fillmore Farmer’s Market every Wednesday. Last week was Fillmore FFA’s second time selling at the farmer’s market. The students were selling Italian Sweet basil and many different varieties of squash for $2 a plant. These students are working hard to fundraise money in order to attend the 2011 National FFA Convention. These students plan to be selling at the farmer’s market every Wednesday from 3:30-7pm. Next week the members will be selling Italian Sweet basil, different types of squash as well at tomatoes. Come on by and say hi to the students on Wednesday!
