June is Pollinator Protection Month!

In 2014, Emory University became the first campus in the nation to adopt a comprehensive pollinator protection plan, which bans the use of neonicotinoids – a group of pesticides contributing to decline in pollinator species. To celebrate Pollinator Protection Month, learn how to plant home gardens that support pollinators rather than unintentionally harm them.

Summer Farmers Market – Peach Festival

Cox Hall Bridge 569 Asbury Circle, Atlanta

This week is the Peach Festival! This special Farmers Market will feature a range of peach-themed activities, and from 12:30 to 1:30pm, members of the International Euphonium Tuba Festival and Tuba Camp will perform at the Festival.

The Emory Farmers Market features fresh, seasonal local produce; artisanal bread; honey; other artisan products and baked goods; fair trade and organic coffee options; and diverse lunch options. In addition to providing delicious and convenient food choices to the Emory community, the market encourages us all to interact with Georgia farmers and small business owners, to expand our knowledge about healthy eating and sustainable production and to establish a relationship with the people who grow our food—an essential component of a healthy, local food system. The Market is co-managed by the Office of Sustainable Initiatives and Emory Dining with support of a sub-committee composed of students, faculty and staff.
