BRANCH AVENUE IN BLOOM

 Goats Go Green at the Historic Iverson Mall

 

Temple Hills, MD, May 2012 – Saturday May 26th, beginning at 11 AM “Green Goats” will be at Iverson Mall at the intersection of Branch Avenue and Iverson Street.  Mary Bowen, owner of Prosperity Acres will bring their goats to clear away shrubs with their four-legged friends which are hungry for the job, says Bowen.

Prosperity Acres Farm in Sunderland, Md sells beef and goat meat at the BAIB Farmers Market and has “green goats” that have been hired to chow down on the large bush that blocks commuters from a clear view of the Farmers Market located in the Iverson Mall Parking lot on Saturday mornings.

“What a fun way to go green, “said Jennifer Funn, Retail Revitalization Program Coordinator for BAIB.  “The goats have a ravenous appetite that will help the BAIB Community Design Committee landscaping project for this corner.  No mowing required,” said Funn.

Council Member Karen Toles, District 7, has extended strong support for the Branch Avenue In Bloom initiative and says “BAIB continues to find creative ways to bring the Temple Hills community together. Residents will have the opportunity to shop for fresh locally grown produce and their children will have the opportunity to pet these gentle creatures”

Branch Avenue In Bloom (BAIB) – is a program of the Maryland Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission  announces the partnership with Iverson Mall and Healthy Heights to bring a Farmers’ Market to the St. Barnabas Road and Branch Avenue corridor.

Branch Avenue In Bloom is a unique economic development project designed to rejuvenate Branch Avenue, St. Barnabas and the Naylor Road Metro business corridors by leveraging local assets from cultural and architectural heritage to local enterprises and community pride.  To learn more about Branch Avenue In Bloom, visit http://www.facebook.com/branchavenueinbloom or contact the Maryland Small Business Development Center at 301-403-2080.  Interested vendors should contact Jennifer Funn, Retail Revitalization Coordinator.

One of the best things to come out of 2020’s insanity was when I discovered Prosperity Acres Farm products.  Mary – you have forever changed how we buy our beef. The ease of ordering online, the always prompt deliveries, and most importantly, the incredible quality of the meats and your dedication to educating us on the importance of how our food is raised, will make us customers for life.  Oh, those poor people who think beef from the grocery store are as good as it gets!
Wishing you and yours all the best

Every Sunday I jump out of bed to go to my local farmers market where my first stop there is Mary’s booth. I enjoy all the beautiful and thoughtful little touches that bring her booth to feel like I’m walking into her home. I can feel the care and love that goes into the food she brings to nourish us.

Prosperity Acres shows up with love, gratitude and care, making everyone feel at home the moment they enter the booth. It’s times like these when life gives us an opportunity to know what to cherish and today, I cherish the little things with Prosperity Acres.

We discovered Prosperity Acres at the Anne Arundel County Farmers’ Market.  The quality of the products is amazing.  We love getting to know our farmers and how the food is raised, but we also want it to taste good.  Prosperity Acres does not disappoint at all.  The beef (all cuts) is delicious and Mary gives great tips on how to prepare the meat.  We also love the goat meat.  Everything is so fresh and tender.  Mary and her family are wonderful and knowledgeable people who work really hard to bring the most delicious products to the market.

Wishing you and yours all the best
