December was a busy month. We visited Whispering Pines twice and had fun decorating and blanket making. We decorated inside and out at Common Ground/Goodness Grows. We also spent time in the kitchen, making plenty of Jungle Jam as well as cookies, applesauce, and more. The Youth Group of Common Ground had a toy drive for their Christmas project and we had the wonderful job of taking those toys to the Columbiana County Sheriff's Office! On the Friday before Christmas, we enjoyed an afternoon of fun, exchanging gifts, eating pizza, and enjoying our time together celebrating the holiday. Currently, we are on winter break but we will jump right back to work next week!

Keep an eye out for information about our produce subscription program for the 2019 growing season. We will soon be planning what to plant and then, before too long, it will be time to start some seedlings! We will plan to post the info - dates, cost, produce, etc. - on our website, Facebook, and in a newsletter by the end of January/beginning of February. Now is the time to start considering whether you would like to sign up to get fresh, local produce that we grow right here in North Lima! If you have any questions or would definitely like more information, just let us know.
