Foothills Farmers' Market was founded in 2008 through a grassroots movement of farmers and local food ad- vocates and was officially incorporated as a charitable non-profit on May 3, 2010. They initially operated under tents on Washington Street, moving to our permanent home in Uptown Shelby's beautiful Bobby Bell Pavilion in May 2015. The Farmers' Market shares at their website, "We provide easy access to food produced in Cleveland County and the surrounding 50-miles and are proud to showcase the family-owned farms and small businesses in our region. Our vendors have deep roots in the roll- ing soils of the North Caro- lina Foothills, producing an astonishing array of fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry products, baked goods, artisan cheeses, honey, nuts, herbs, and other specialty food items. You'll also find an assort- ment of ornamental and ed- ible plants, plus handmade arts & crafts offered for sale each week." Foothills Farmers' Mar- ket values family farms, endorses sustainable food production practices and in- novation, contributes to the health and wellbeing of the local community, and sup- ports the growth of a robust local food economy. LUNCHEON From Page 1 and decorations. Commissioner Bridges said he and his fellow com- missioners are always glad to be able to support law enforcement. Commissioner Hardin agreed, adding, "They protect our community every day and we appreciate them." Shelby Police Lt. John Hamrick, a 26-½ year vet- eran said, "I think it's excep- tional of them to do this for us. This is great!" Shelby Police Chief Ledford said, "I think it is amazing that Elizabeth Baptist Church and the Borders Family are doing this for law enforcement. The appreciation feels great and it comes at a time when it is really needed!" Commissioner Hutchins agreed, adding, "We have a great community here in Cleveland County and they know how to show their appreciation for them (law enforcement)." Sheriff Alan Norman looked around at his officers enjoying themselves and said, "What a great thing the Borders family and their Church are doing for our law enforcement men and women by hosting this. It just goes to show you that by this large a group of officers being here, what it means to them too." He continued, "This is a brainstorm of Steve's to begin with. All the officers here appreciate the hospital- ity and warm support given from the heart. We know that Cleveland County's citizens wholeheartedly support law enforcement. It means a lot to us." All the officers got a "goodie bag", along with handwritten letters of praise, thankfulness and support from Grover Elementary students. Senator Ted Alexander (R-Dist. 44) said, "This is an outstanding event, made more so given it was gen- erated by two private indi- viduals, Steve and Cindy Borders, who just wanted to bless our local law enforce- ment officers." Though this was a first- time event, both Steve and Cindy noted they may do this or a similar event in the future. "We had a great turnout for this, and we're very happy we did," said Mr. Borders. Borders Family friends Jerry and Joyce Gardner were in charge of making sure the Cleveland County law officers that came out to the luncheon got a "goodie bag" and some sweet treats.
