And we had a blast at the Fairfield Middle School Health Fair – organized by the students! We did a cooking demonstration and promoted WBCH’s Early Childhood Education preschool and summer camp programs. What did we make? Bok Choy and Leek stir-fry with fresh Garlic and Ginger garnished with a squeeze of fresh Lemon. Folks were lined up for those samples!

Brown Bag Lunch Series at RPL
Don’t know what sustainability means? Wondering about genetically modified organisms? What’s a Farm Fairy? Do you permaculture? These questions are loaded with terminology most of us just may not understand. This is a great time to visit the Lexicon of Sustainability Exhibit at the Richmond Public Library and attend one of two brown bag lunches:
February 20 at Noon: Lexicon of Farmer Sustainability
Kate Ruby, Master Gardener and Manager of the Farmer’s Market at St. Stephen’s Church
February 27 at Noon: Lexicon of GMOs
John Lewis, founding coordinator of Renew Richmond
