North Meck Community Farmers Market Celebrates Earth Day at Cornelius Earth Jam with Hands-On Seedling Activity

Cornelius, NC, April 12, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Visitors to the North Meck Community Farmers Market booth will be invited to plant their own seedling to take home — a hands-on, eco-conscious activity perfect for all ages. With guidance from market staff, passionate growers themselves, participants can get their hands dirty, learn a little about the magic of growing food, and walk away with a living reminder of their commitment to the planet.

"Earth Jam is such a great way to bring the community together around sustainability, and we're proud to be a part of it," said Hope Ostane-Baucom, Market Manager of the North Meck Community Farmers Market. "Our seedling planting activity is a fun and meaningful way to connect people with where their food comes from — and to encourage folks to grow a little something of their own."

The market’s participation is part of its broader mission to promote local foods, healthy communities, and environmental stewardship. As the North Meck Community Farmers Market gears up for its third season, starting Wednesday, May 14, events like Earth Jam help showcase the value of local food systems and hands-on learning.
