Our content (everyone’s content) has been pretty COVID-heavy lately. It’s worth remembering though that farmers continue to face serious barriers independent of corona. For example, one of our partner farms went from expecting 15,000lbs of strawberries to 1000lbs, all because of that crazy frost recently. Growing good food can be hard and unpredictable, even though we literally cannot live without it. Proud to be supporting the people who overcome all obstacles to feed our communities.

Looking for something socially-distant, fun and OUT OF THE HOUSE to do this weekend? @saunders.brothers.farm.market is open for Pick Your Own cherry-picking! And of course, they have safety measures in place to ensure you feel safe while enjoying your cherry good day (ahem). Repost @saunders.brothers.farm.market with @get_repost ・・・ Come pick a bucket with us today. Open 12-4.🍒🍒 #cherrypicking #sweet #firstfruits #familytradition

Taking a moment this morning to appreciate two incredible volunteers who stepped up in the early days of our market to give us much-needed support. Martha has been a LFH board member since 2016. Her long commitment to the cause includes jobs at Stone Barns Center, Nature Conservancy and Forest Stewardship Council. Michael is a longtime friend of the Hub. He runs @virginia_foodshed_capital, a nonprofit that provides financial stewardship for small/midsize sustainable farms in VA. Thank you, Martha and Michael, for your time at the market these past few months and for your long-standing commitment to food grown sustainably and distributed equitably.

SO excited for this new offering from Good Phyte. At the risk of doing your meal prep for you, how about a Friday night dinner of empanadas from @peru_pachamama, salad from Good Phyte, and wine from @blenheimvineyards? Make it extra good with a sweet treat from @mariebettecafe to round out the night! Ordering open through noon tomorrow. #Repost @goodphyte with @get_repost ・・・ Our arms have officially been twisted.
