More happy news from the local food front: Another farmer’s market has joined the roster, and this year’s Buy Fresh Buy Local guide is now hitting the streets.
The new market is in Forest Lakes, in the parking lot of the South Recreational Facility, and runs Tuesdays from 4pm to 7pm. It’ll open June 3 (with a ribbon-cutting and a magician—"Arrested Development" fans, we’ll see you there!) It’s been organized by the Forest Lakes Community Association and the Piedmont Environmental Council.
PEC has made its mark on the locavore movement here in Charlottesville, notably by publishing its first Buy Fresh Buy Local guide last spring. The sequel’s out now, mailed to many local mailboxes and available online, too. It’s got all your markets, your local food producers and your restaurants that are good about serving local ingredients. All very helpful info—plus every Subaru worth its salt has one of the matching bumper stickers. Kohlrabi, anyone?
Veggie lovers can now get fresh local goodies on 29N.
