As our gardens start producing and you find that you have extra produce from your garden — even just a handful — you can drop it off at the Farmers Market in G**s Mills, Prairie du Chien, and Soldiers Grove. They will have someone available to accept your donations.
A little from many gardens adds up to a lot of fresh, local food for our community.
