Ron Peterson of Pick’n & Grin’n is winding down the summer season. With the Cantaloupe Festival over and held at the Rafter 3C, he hopes next year’s will take place in the Multi-purpose Building after scheduled renovations this fall and winter, sharing the space with quilters and fair exhibits.
He has his SNAP, WIC, and coupon redemptions in place. He has taken the classes and is certified to accept SNAP. These are all out-of-pocket expenses; there is no funding available.
Ron is still moving forward with a Farmer’s Market; it takes time getting the funding in place for the building, along with costs for vendor licensing for the city, county, and state, business licenses, produce certificates, and insurance.
On Sept. 19, 2025, Ron will conduct a seminar on how to construct and maintain a greenhouse. This seminar is open to the public and will be held in the NRCS Building at the Rafter 3C complex.
Pick’n & Grin’n is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For further information, Ron Peterson can be contacted at 775-217-2418.
