Time is running out for residents to participate in the Chattooga County Young Farmers Farm Stand Card Program, with the deadline to complete and submit cards set for June 30.

The annual program encourages residents to visit local farm stands throughout Chattooga County while supporting area farmers and agricultural businesses. Participants collect a stamp or signature at each participating location and become eligible for prizes once they have visited at least 10 farm stands.

Completed cards can be dropped off at the Chattooga Ag Center, located at 40 Middle School Road in Summerville, no later than June 30.

All submitted cards will be entered into a prize drawing featuring items donated by local farm stand owners.

Participating locations include Anita’s Blissful Bites, Broome Farms, Daydreamer Farm, Faith Family Farm Stand, Farms Not Pharms, Foster Mill Farmstand, Lanier Farms, Leroy’s Seasoning, Orchard Farms, Peaceful Journey, Roadside Market at Teloga Springs Farm, Thrive Farm Bake Shop, Sunset Creek Farm, Sunset Family Farms and Willows Flowers.

Organizers say the program is designed to promote local agriculture, encourage residents to explore the county’s farm stands and support small businesses throughout the growing season.

Residents interested in participating are encouraged to visit the remaining farm stands and complete their cards before the June 30 deadline.
