Heritage Days 2009 & FIG
June 27, 2009
For the second year in a row FIG participated in the Macomb Heritage Days parade and passed out over 350 heritage tomato plants and Local Food Guides. Joel Gruver grew all of the plants from seed, transplanted them, and got them ready for FIG to distribute. John Curtis lent us the carts for transporting the tomatoes, Amy Patrick lent us her yard where we staged the beginning of the parade, Holly Stovall and Jamie Lane coordinated logistics, and Jamie repaired a flat tire on a cart at the last minute. If you know any stories about the tomato plants please let Joel know about them. He wants to know how they fared.
