Potatoes for Feeding Brookings

Posted

On June 4, a group of Brookings seniors got together at Madsen Gardens at Lake Campbell to plant potatoes for the benefit of Feeding Brookings.

The men used antique machinery from the horse-drawn era to cut and plant the potatoes. Runnings is a supporter of the operation, which placed one ton of potatoes with Feeding Brookings last year.
