Thanks to all who attended the FGA Annual Meeting and Food Tasting on November 10th.  Kathy Cooley, president for FGA, and steering committee members gave reports on FGA interests and projects.  Also FGA members voted for officers. 

Bryan Robbins, director of the Greensburg Farmers' Market, shared the news that Greensburg, Batesville, Brookville and Shelbyville Farmers' Markets received a USDA FMPP grant, meaning that these markets will now be able to accept EBT transactions.  A big thumbs up to Bryan and all who worked on making this happen!  

Dale Oelker from Kids Against Hunger gave an informative presentation on the organization and how we can help reduce hungry children in the USA and feed starving children throughout the world.   To find out more, visit http://www.kidsagainsthunger.org/ .

A special thanks to chef Chris Stange and the staff at Hillcrest Golf and Country Club for preparing our local foods.  As one member commented, "I never thought I would get so excited over brussel sprouts and swiss chard".  All of the food was delicious and I do not think anyone left hungry.  Thanks, too, to the growers who shared their produce.
