The wonderful women at SNIPS offered special edition seed packets in celebration of our 20th anniversary! Spring and Summer varieties will be available through the High Country Food Hub under "Featured Products." A portion of every purchase went to BRWIA and a portion of each purchase helped support low cost spay and neutering for pets of those who are struggling financially. SNIPS also created beautiful garden gift bags for all those attending the Mother's Day Tea. Thank you, SNIPS!

Jeanine was also our Savory Shindig Farmural Community Artist. We will be delighted to display the final quilt piece at the Food Hub when it is finished.
