What’s new at BHM?
Pickled Silly joined us last week and added to our fabulous mix a really bright and delicious Bloody Mary Mix. Now, add Spicy Okra, Dilly Green Beans and Tarragon Carrots and, well, just imagine the pairings, eh? Wandering Cow Farm and St. Andrew’s Church return this week.
Jack Tabby Plays Viola – Will E. Nelson will be providing entertainment for the Byrd House Market by presenting a series of musicians through the Blue Lotus Collective. This week it’s Jack Tabby, viola playin’ member of MH & His Orchestra. This collective promotes up-and-coming songwriters and bands by acting as a talent agent and publicist. Solo performers as well as bands will be sharing their music at the market. Be sure to catch a new artist every week starting at 3:30 p.m. Improve your farmer’s market experience with live and local music!
Make art with VACLAA’s Eva and Spencer in the shade of the community garden. Relax and enjoy a nosh. Meet friends, plan your shopping, …etc.
Richmond Tree Stewards will be on hand to share more about the life of Richmond’s trees. You wouldn’t want to be without them!Featured Vendor: Amy’s Garden
As Garnish or Appetizer, Seared Poblano Peppers are a treat. Got a bag of perfect looking green peppers from Amy and followed her directions to the letter – heavy bottomed skillet, a little oil, blistered the peppers on all sides, sprinkled liberally with good quality salt and ate them with a cold drink and grilled good quality beef hot dogs with chopped fresh tomatoes, chow chow and roasted potatoes!! I know it’s been hot, but this meal worked! yum.

The Scavenged Haiku – Last week, Woodlake United Methodist Church youth volunteers worked in the farmlet, collect stock for the food pantry and find material to create their own haiku poems in the titles of books in the Grace Arents Library. And we got a little play because I remembered a favorite childhood book that was included in a children’s Book Review in the daily paper this weekend!
