Find recipes at EatGoodGrowGreat.blogspot.com or ask at the Byrd House Market Info Tent. We’d love to get some and share some!
Second: Did you not LOVE?
the acrobats from the Cirque Italia at last week’s market?? Shopper’s daughter Tegwyn certainly did!
As they left the Blue Lotus Collective crew “Nick and Friends” serenaded shoppers til market’s end. Pretty nice vibe all day.
Third: HURRAY for WBCH Byrd House Market and Byrd House Farmlet! The Whole Foods Market 5% Day was a great success – more than $5,700 raised for outreach, infrastructure and marketing for the farmlet and the market! This was especially groovy because the entire staff, executive director and board chair took shifts bagging groceries, handing out literature and sharing the great work of our agency and our nutrition education programs: the market, farmlet and community garden. What a payoff! Thanks to everyone who worked and shopped! Thanks to Whole Foods Market 5% Day and their 5th anniversary in Richmond!
Upcoming events:
September 20: WBCH CARNIVAL! 4:00 – 7:30 pm with petting zoo, giant inflatables, games and prizes! 5th District Councilman Parker Agelasto making a special presentation in honor of WBCH’s 90th Anniversary
October 22: National Food Day at the Market – Thank a Vendor Day!
