When Durham Deaf Services sent out a call for help, Jill of Franklin Farm Herbals and Market answered. 

Franklin Farm Herbals, located half-way between Bethany and Omemee at # Ski Hill Road specializes in growing pesticide-free produce,and Jill,a chartered herbalist, also creates many household and beauty items from the many plants grown on their farm.

'I am pleased to join with other businesses in helping  Durham Deaf Services with their dinner by providing fresh greens for salads.'shared Jill, adding 'DDS helps many deaf and hard of hearing people in Durham and surrounding communities.  Providing salad for their special dinner is a very small contribution to a very active hands-on area service, run mostly by volunteers.  I hope their dinner is a spectacular success, creating bigger public awareness of services available through them.
