Walt Helmick Visits Bob's

Last Wednesday, we were glad to have Commissioner Walt Helmick from the Department of Agriculture stop by for a visit and tour.  While on the tour he got to see our seed storage cooler with over 3,000 varieties of seeds, plants that will be going to the Greenbrier Resort, and all of the folks that keep Bob's Market running smoothly.

 Here are tweets from his visit:
