Dec.18: Byrd House RENEGADE Just-in-Time HOLIDAY Market
Mark your pockets, wallets, cards and calendars. Come shop for those PERFECT gifts that are only inspired during those last breathless gift-selecting moments in the week before Xmas, Channuka, Kwaanza, Etcetera. These are the artisan consumables that really get consumed, never gathering dust on a shelf – eaten, savored, enjoyed. YES! You! Should! Do! This! For yourself, your fella-students, your teachers, mom, sibs, pops, grammies and pop-pops, BFFs, puppy luvs, kit kats and old dogs.

A few notes …
The Renegade Market is an “at-will” market. Except for Byrd Farm/Rural Va Market and Faith Farm who come EVERY week, vendors come when they have goods to sell and/or when the weather permits. I will include a list of participating vendors in these notices, but changes do occur, so please take it as a guide. In addition, new vendors will occasionally test their products at our Tuesday afternoon market, so there’s always the chance of making a wonderful new discovery.

And, don’t forget to thank your Renegade Market vendors. They brave the weathers to grow and tend, harvest and haul their good stuff to this market, sometimes from far far (locally) away for the scant 3 hours they set up in our neighborhood. Good people. Thank them, cause they’re grateful for you too!
See you at the market!

Renegade Market This Afternoon

From email:

Come one. Come all.
The goods are here. Shop our hardy, willing food producers, crafters, growers, makers, sellers. Call me a sourpuss, but I wouldn’t mind if we got snow… The Renegade Market it pretty in the snow. Alas, it is our lot to get rain. Tuesday’s forecast is for light rain throughout the afternoon, so really no hindrance to market vending or shopping. Winter soups, sautees, sauces – the kind of goodness that keeps colds and influenzi at bay (bey?).
Tuesdays, November through April, 3pm to 6pm.

Hurricane Sandy Cancels This Week’s Byrd House Market

Posted on by

From email announcement:

Good afternoon everyone,

It seems prudent to go ahead and cancel the market for tomorrow. The weather will at best be miserable and we don’t yet know what the specific results of the storm might be in terms of power outages and what our farmers may need to do to harvest and processing crops for market. Better to let Hurricane Sandy play out, assess and get ready for better conditions.

We look forward to seeing all of you next week, in better weather, and with the spirit of community that is strengthened by shared experiences – which in this case we hope are merely inconveniences!

See you then.

RichmondBizSense on BunnyHop Bike Shop

Posted on by

RichmondBizSense has an article on BunnyHop’s move to Laurel Street.

Excerpt from the article:

Bunnyhop Bike Shop is set to open its second location this winter in Oregon Hill.

Owner Luke Stevens said the store outgrew its current space at 918 W. Grace St., near the VCU bookstore.

“We ran out of room about two years ago, and we were waiting to find a space that was a good fit,” Stevens said. “I think we found it.”

Stevens said a good portion of his customer base lives in Oregon Hill, so leasing the first floor and basement of 349 S. Laurel St. seemed like a natural next step for the business.

The new shop is about 3,000 square feet, double the size of Bunnyhop’s Grace Street location. Stevens said that he’s had as many as 60 bikes in the shop for repair at one time and that space can get a little tight.

“This new location has much higher ceilings. It’s going to give us some more room to display merchandise,” Stevens said. “It’s a big transition for us. We’re growing up.”

When Stevens opened the first location in 2006, he said Bunnyhop was one of just a few stores in the city that catered to Richmond’s bike-riding population. Now there are at least half a dozen in the downtown area alone.

“The stakes are a lot higher this time around,” Stevens said. “There’s a lot more competition, and I’ve got four employees to consider. It’s a little more to worry about.”

He said Bunnyhop would try to stand out by offering quick turnaround times on repair work and affordable prices on parts.
