There was a special guest at the Barry County Community garden on April 28. Sheryl Maxwell, with Lincoln University College of Agriculture, and Environmental and Human Sciences and Lincoln University Extension, visited the garden to see the impact it is having for food security in Barry County. Maxwell has long been an advocate and champion for feeding the hungry. She advocates in Jefferson City to shed light on the needs of people who are food insecure. With her help the Community Garden was able to purchase 10 new beds that are handicap accessible, plus purchase more compost to fill them. The Barry County Community Garden is located at 10160 Farm Road 2160 in Cassville. Contributed photo
