The Farmers' Market Episodes

This is our inspiration for our Farmers' Market Live TV proposal...

Video by Gary Olsen

These are Flash videos of episodes of Dubuque Community Schools' national award winning series, The Garden Organic. That series provides children the opportunity to grow and prepare their own food and produce a real cable television show. Some of the episodes are field trips to area organic farms, gardens, and of course Farmers' Market.

This was the inspiration for our proposal. We knew we had something the minute we arrived with our camera.

Of course we did these shows with kids because Garden Organic is a kid's television show, so students are the interviewers and they actually do an admirable job. They get help from grownup hosts such as Sara Selchert (a landscape designer for Steve's Ace Home and Garden) and Dee Gaul (Iowa State University).
