Healthy Cass County has been encouraging farmers and gardeners to grow a little more food this year to share with others. “Grow Another Row, Cass County!” is a campaign to encourage residents to grow and share more food in 2020. This week the group is releasing produce drop-off and pick-up schedules. “We worked to get sites across the county,” comments
Master Gardener LaVon Eblen.
