Thank you to the JEMS volunteers that worked last Saturday to clean up and plant the gardens along Main Street. It was quite a job! More flowers and fresh mulch are still coming. If you happen to see our “Waterers” busy watering everything including the pretty hanging flower baskets, please thank them for their hard work. If you are interested in joining this great beautification group, please contact me!

New to the Jeffersonville Farmers’ Market this year is “Mountain Ash Farm” a 4th generation family farm producing raw honey, a beautiful colorful variety of farm fresh eggs, jams and jellies and seasonal vegetables. Come try some of their delicious local treats on Sundays at the Jeffersonville Bake Shop. (hosts the Farmers’ Market).

June is dairy month! It’s important that our dairy farmers are recognized for the important role they play producing milk and dairy products. They work hard 24/7 and most rarely take a vacation. I would like to say “thank you” to all of our dairy farmers. From our home on a hill outside of Jeff we can see a beautiful dairy farm below us and several more across the valley. Nothing is prettier than watching the cows meander thru the fields and watch the hustle and bustle of farm life that has been operating for many generations and we hope will go on for many more.
