Cherri can often be found at the Fort Scott Farmers’ Market which is held thru October, Tuesdays 4-6pm

Saturdays 8am-12pm

Gathering Square Pavilion, Downtown See more details & contact information on Tiny Greens & Herbs below!
Tiny Greens & Herbs, LLC. serves Bourbon County by providing year-round access to locally grown nutrient-packed wellness food. After the Walrod family experienced physical and mental health challenges a few years ago, they were looking for a way to increase nutrients in their diet while reducing exposure to toxic chemicals. Tiny Greens & Herbs, LLC. was born out of the need for their family to have year-round access to nutrient dense produce which is free of pesticides and herbicides.

The Walrod’s envisioned starting a small family business so their special needs children could learn to work, acquire transferable job skills and appreciate meaningful gainful employment. One of their goals is for their young children to be able to learn the business as they work towards a more independent life. Growing nutritious, toxin-free food for their family and their community, while also teaching their children the value of work is a triple-play win in their book. They feel the micro-greens taste amazing and invite everyone to come learn more and have samples this Thursday!

Contact the Chamber of Commerce at (620) 223-3566 for more information.

Join us for Chamber Coffee!

Thursday, August 8th, 8am
Hosted by Fort Scott Community College

John Deere Tech 2223 S. Horton St. (23rd & Horton)
About the Coffee this week:

The John Deere program at Fort Scott Community College began in 2002 at the Frontenac campus, with the inaugural class of 13 students graduating with an Associate Degree in 2004. In 2017, the program was relocated to Fort Scott to better serve Bourbon County residents. Recently, the college introduced a one-year John Deere certificate, with the first cohort starting on June 3, 2024, comprising 25 students. Heritage Tractor generously funded the renovation of a classroom to accommodate these new students. The John Deere Advisory Board, which includes representatives from both the John Deere dealership and surrounding dealers, is highly supportive of the program.
