Produce harvested from the United Way community garden will be for sale Saturday, June 6 from about 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Most items will be priced around 50 cents, said Shaun Underkoffler, of the York City Health Bureau. It's early in the season, but there are still a few items available including strawberries, lettuce and peas. Proceeds go to support the garden.
Underkoffler hopes some who stop out might also be interested in helping
In past years, garden plots were maintained individually. There were a few problems with vegetables disappearing.
Underkoffler said he thinks some people thought that it was a community garden, so they could help themselves. It was great that people were eating the vegetables, he said. But it was not so great for those doing the work and having their veggies taken.
The garden is a group effort this year. Those who help tend it get the first pick at the products. After that, the produce will be sold or donated to food banks, Underkoffler said.
The garden is at the United Way, 800 E. King St., York.
