From email announcement:

First Tuesday of September!
Means so many good things: Greens (arugula, chard, kale, collards, cabbages) are on the way back in season. Amy’s Organic will have Student Boxes today, along with Agriberry, Byrd Farm and Epic Gardens. Robin Raver will be massaging your tired, your poor, down-trodden muscles. Blue Lotus Collective presents “Nick and Friends” acoustic music and harmonizing.

Stop by Whole Foods Market today (after the market!!)
From now through 10 pm today, help Whole Foods Market celebrate their 5th anniversary in Richmond by supporting their 5% Day. Proceeds will benefit Byrd House Market and Byrd House Farmlet with infrastructure, program and marketing projects! More info at www.wbch.org

Chicken with a kick of spice
Our Deb Stoneman starred on Virginia This Morning – If you missed it last Friday morning, catch it here: http://eatgoodgrowgreat.blogspot.com/ – and thanks to WTVR’s Greg McQuade for the Byrd House Market shout out at the end! Everything in the recipe is seasonal, organic goodness.

VSU Dietetic Interns
will be helping out at the market this week as part of their Farm to Table rotation. This one day immersion will give them a handle on food issues at the consumer and grower market level.

Wed. at Noon: Lightly on the Ground Radio
Christopher Doval, Esq. visited the outdoor studio at Epic Gardens. Join us on the front porch and hear the ambient sounds and the discussion, noon Wednesday, 9/4, on WRIR 97.3 lp FM and WRIR.ORG. Chris Doval is assistant professor at VSU Reginald L. Lewis School of Business where he teaches business ethics and corporate sustainability. In this discussion of business, plant breeding, and intellectual property, we focus on the question of labeling GMOS. Chris Doval’s thoughtful consideration of questions he had not considered before gives this conversation richness and depth. Lightly on the Ground Radio is hosted and produced by our own Patricia Stansbury. Check it out.
