CORNING | Shoppers turned out Thursday for the first day of the outdoor Corning Farmers Market in Riverfront Centennial Park. Odessa-Montour student Jacob Cron was busy selling basil and peppers at one booth.
“They’re part of a work-based learning program,” said teacher Meaghan Krazinski. It’s a stepping stone for the students to raise money for the real project: making and selling their own hot sauce.
“They made their own recipe and found a bottler for it,” Krazinski said. “They’re going to be able to sell it in the community.”
She noted that while attending another farmers market, they had a conversation with other sellers, who told them the Corning Farmers Market was the place to be.
She said every part of the experience is educational.
