Cucumber Veggie Dip Recipe

Farm Fresh Kids has been a great program for everyone at the Abingdon Farmers' Market! Parents have said that they are so thankful for such an incredible program in their community, and our vendors have benefitted from the additional traffic at the Market on Tuesday afternoons. Chef Jassen led the kids on a tour of the market, and made a cucumber dip that was so yummy! The Master Gardeners of Washington County finished up the afternoon by helping the kids plant their own cucumber plants. The Kidz Place joined us the next week and talked about the importance of being active, and the kids participated in physical activities. Also, the Washington County Library joined us with storytime, blueberry races and smoothies! A big thanks to all of our community sponsors and parents for your help in making this a successful program! We have plenty of Tuesdays left, and will continue to offer the program through the end of summer. Chef Jassen Campbell's recipe can be found below, and please check out the You Tube video of the Farm Fresh Kids!
