Community Groups at the Market: CPRC Storytime

We're very excited to welcome back a great Cheverly Community Market tradition this Saturday: CPRC Storytime! Led by Cheverly Parents Resource Center, each storytime revolves around a story related to food, as well as a coloring activity. This is a great opportunity for young children to share a story and activity with their friends.

This week features Mary McKenna Siddals "Compost Stew", illustrated by Ashely Wolff. The A-Z rhyming book explores all the things that go into a really good compost -- from egg shells to fruit to worms -- a perfect recipe! There are some great activities for your outdoors "chefs" here.

CPRC Storytime is at 10:00am on the front steps of the Community Center -- join us!

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."
