Local Harvest Days

For the next 3 Saturdays at ZeroPak on Cameron Street, the "Z Street Market" managed by Lea Vittitow, will host its "Local Harvest Days" celebration. 3 Saturday afternoons from 1pm to 5pm (Oct 11, 18, and 25) .

Local produce vendors (YUM!)
Entertainers (YAY!)
Other businesses and agencies involved with fostering local sustainable economy concepts (I have to learn more about these folks!)

These folks will be present to entertain and educate local citizens about the "Buy Fresh Buy Local" movement.

The activities will culminate with the 60 vendor Virginia Organic Producers and Consumers Association "Farm and Food EXPO" 2 November. (more on that later)

It is so exciting to see that the Z-street market is taking off and becoming a great local resource. Personally, I plan to do most of my Christmas shopping there.
