Would you be willing to crop on someone’s lawn to support the Granby Farmer’s Market? This month the Granby Farmer’s Market is launching their new fundraiser “Get Cropped”. For a donation of $20 you can crop on your friend’s lawn, or your neighbor’s lawn, or even your own lawn. Volunteers from the Granby Farmer’s Market Committee will come and surreptitiously plant a cute little crop on the lawn of your choosing. The crop consists of several signs of cartoon corn, tomato and various fruit and veggie characters, approximately 3-4 feet tall. Imagine your friend’s surprise when they wake in the morning to discover they have been cropped! The crop will remain for 48 hours. If the croppee wishes to have it removed earlier there is a contact number on the back of the sign they can call to have the crop “harvested” immediately. They will also have the option of cropping it forward; for $15 they will be able to crop someone of their choosing by placing the address in a drop box on the back of the sign. We will begin cropping on May 15th, but you can schedule a cropping now by contacting Alicia Newton at the Farmington Valley YMCA at 860-653-5524 x124 or alicia.newton@ghymca.org. All proceeds will go toward supporting the Granby Farmers’ Market. We are working hard to make sure this year’s market is packed with a wide variety of nutritious, fresh, Connecticut Grown foods, great entertainment, and lots of fun activities for the whole family! The Granby Farmers’ Market will be open every Tuesday from 3:00 pm-6:30 pm from June 25th-September 10th at the Farmington Valley YMCA, 97 Salmon Brook Street, Granby. You needn’t be a member of the YMCA to come and join in the fun, the market is open to everyone!
