Purple Carrot Launches Education Committee

Seeing education as an avenue to interact and connect with the community - owners and non-owners alike - the Board of Directors has established an Education Committee for the Purple Carrot.  The goal of the Committee is to "create a strong and steady commitment to engage our community through education, and create a framework of reciprocal connection which benefits all:  co-op<>farm/producer; co-op<>families and children; co-op<>business; co-op<>community.

The responsibilities of the Education Committee include:

• Be aware of needs within the community that an educational event sponsored by the Purple Carrot Market might address.
• Set annual goals for educational points to cover.
• Organize and host various educational opportunities to reach a variety of ages.
• Connect with entities in the community to bring forth educational opportunities for wholistic health and living.
• Obtain and provide educational materials related to the Purple Carrot Market and the community.

Elise Carey has agreed to serve as the chair of the Committee.  Anyone interested in being part of this committee should contact the Purple Carrot via email (purplecarrotmarket@gmail.com) or call 320-412-3580.
