New Growers At The Market
Green Hand Nursery
David Hand raises annuals
which he and Patricia sell from
their Warsaw greenhouses.
Orchid Station
The Philhours of Barboursville specialize
in Phalaenopsis and Oncidium Alliance. |
Pollan's new book Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation, is about cooking. His thesis is that "cooking involves us in a web of social and ecological relationships: with plants and animals, the soil, farmers, our history and culture, and, of course, the people our cooking nourishes and delights."
Look around at the farmers market, just by shopping for the food that we will cook, we are connecting with each other. |
WFM VOTED TOPS
Hampton Roads Magazine readers voted the WFM as the top farmers market in all of
Hampton Roads.
Virginia Living readers voted the market as the Best Farmers' Market in Eastern Virginia!
Thank you to all of the Williamsburg Farmers Market customers who voted in both of
these contests.

Bring Your Children To The Market
Children can be seen everywhere at the market. They are brought in strollers, they dance while the musicians play, they talk to the farmers and are amazed by the beautiful flowers.
An article in Eat Local Grown lists 10 Reasons to Bring Your Kids to the Farmers Market which includes introducing them to new foods. Kohlrabi might be new to both adults and children. It is crunchy and refreshing like an apple, which makes a nice addition to salads.
Gardening with Children will be the theme for the exhibit this Saturday for the Master Gardeners.
