William Byrd Community House welcomes Vendors, Shoppers, Families, Friends, Colleagues and Cohorts back to Byrd House Market for the 4th year running.
Our theme this year is "EAT GOOD GROW GREAT" and it applies to so many aspects of the market experience and the WBCH mission to transform the lives of Richmond's families.
At Byrd House Market you will be able to admire and buy some of the freshest locally grown and produced foods our Central Virginia area has to offer. Fresh and local means the nutritional quality is at its highest and the costs are often lower (especially if eating better means you don't have to eat as much!!). Eating fresh, local and delicious foods means your body is getting what it wants and needs, which allows your body to grow and maintain what makes it great. Can you imagine eating food that doesn't interfere with your health and well-being? Pretty nice!
As a Market with a Mission, BHM is really pleased to show off the new Byrd House Farmlet - a small production farm that has been cultivated to provide each of our Early Childhood Summer Program families with a sackful of farmlet fresh produce every week for eight weeks. The Grace Arents Community Garden taps into a hundred-year history of learning by doing and our community will be learning so much from the Kid's Pizza Garden, Keyhole Garden, Three Sisters Garden (coming soon) and Straw Bale Container Garden (also coming soon).
So, Thanks for joining us at the Byrd House Market 2010 OPENING DAY last Tuesday. It was a beautiful day and nearly 900 of you came out! There is some Great Eating going at 900 households this week... oh yeaahhh.
