FC Farm-City receives award

Franklin County’s Farm-City Committee is a celebrated group, with a recent award from Alabama Farm-City.

April 5 the county’s Farm-City Committee received the Best Farm-City Dinner Award for Division II.

Director of Franklin County Extension Katernia Cole-Coffey accepted the award from Committee Chairman Jeff Helms at the Alabama Farm City Awards Luncheon, held in Birmingham.

“Every year we send in an activity report, and that’s what these awards are based on,” she said.

Franklin County has received about 20 Farm-City awards since the ’90s, Cole-Coffey said.

“Farm-City programs give us an opportunity to reconnect people with their food and the families who grow it,” said Helms about the importance of Farm-City.
