POMEROY, Ohio The first of what is hoped will be many community gardens in Meigs County is well on its way to a successful harvest.
The Meigs County Farmer’s Market brought the idea to the community this spring, with market secretary-treasurer leading the effort to secure funding for the project. Market Director Stephanie Rife said the market board wanted to give back to community and to encourage healthy eating habits.
