Live, Eat, Buy Locally…take the “Buy Local Challenge”

“I pledge to eat at least one item from a local farm every day during Buy Local Week.” That's the challenge set forth by So. Maryland, So Good this July 19-27. Cheverly Community Market on Saturday, July 19, is a great place to stock up for the challenge! Read more about the challenge here. To cap off the buy local challenge week, Cheverly Community Market will have a benefit potluck at the Community Center on Friday, July 25, 7:00-10:00pm. The night will include fresh corn on the cob, ice tea, lemonade, coffee, and possibly watermelon provided by the Market, a great rock and roll/soul dance band, 50/50 raffle, the opportunity to contribute to a community art effort, and a peach-eating contest. Bring a dish (preferably with a local ingredient(s)) that will feed 10, and your own local wine or beer. Admission: * Children under 5 and over 100 are free * Children 6-12 are 6.00 * 12 to 99 is 12.00 Details about reserving space by buying early tickets will be coming soon, but get this very special event on your calendar now!
