Cheverly Community Market: Media that Matters: Good Food

Some food for thought during the Buy Local, Eat Local Challenge... A collection of short films on food and sustainability http://www.mediathatmattersfest.org/mtm_good_food/ http://truths.treehugger.com/video/contest_entry_reality_in_the_s.php http://truths.treehugger.com/video/food_production.php http://video.google.com/videoplaydocid=5917890167458362959&q=corn&ei=gH6DSNjrLYSkrQLz9sySAw&hl=en http://video.google.com/videoplaydocid=5917890167458362959&q=corn&ei=on6DSLOSMYOcrwLM_9SsCw&hl=en http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5917890167458362959&q=corn&ei=X3 DSL2RJoSkrQLz9sySAw&hl=en http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFNzabpQ2X0 http://www.eatlocalchallenge.com/2008/04/the-locavore-de.html http://truths.treehugger.com/video/contest_entry_eat_local.php

People are talking...

"At the risk of sounding repetitive, I'll say it again....Cheverly is such a warm welcoming community. I have more fun there than at any other market I sell at. I am so thankful that you invited me to come!"

"Our community market is as much "community" as it is "market". After purchasing beautiful, healthy, local produce, friends sit together enjoying coffee, pastry, and music with the kids happy and safe at the adjacent playground. The vendors are all local and are clearly proud of their wares, happy to answer questions about their farm or give suggestions of how to cook kohlrabi."
