Greta’s New Business
Brinkman has continued her habit of salvaging old wood from project sites, and wherever else she can find it. And she’s using it to build some beautiful homemade frames of all sizes.
“I just hated to throw away the really old stuff like heart pine,” she says. “It really has the most beautiful grain and wonderful luster — and it smells fantastic.”
Brinkman says she’ll work on commission and that for now, postcard-sized frames run around $25, and an album-sized frame is $50. You can find her Etsy page at etsy.com/shop/framesbygreta or email her at gkb498 at yahoo.com.
Brinkman plays bass for metal band Druglord, but she’s had a long and colorful career playing for such big-name and wide-ranging artists as Debbie Harry, L7, Moby and Jayne County. Druglord has a new vinyl EP, “Enter Venus,” coming out in a month and it plays Strange Matter on Dec. 17 with Torche.

Belle Island Moonshine
An excerpt:
Production in Chicago, however, is only temporary. The team hopes to open a Richmond distillery in early 2014 and is close to signing a lease. They would not divulge an exact location but said they would like to set up their stills in Manchester.
“We want to have that river view, the city skyline – that’s where we want to be,” Wotring said.
The company’s founders would not disclose how much of an initial investment would be required to open the moonshine factory but said they recently brought private investors into the business. Marks, Wotring and Riggi plan to maintain their current businesses after launching their planned distillery.
About 30 area bars have picked up Belle Isle Moonshine, and 50 cases are set to ship this week to the ABC warehouse on Hermitage Road.

THIS Tuesday: Farewell to 2013 BHM; Hey There Renegade Market!
From email announcement:
A HUGE thank you
for a fantastic 2013 season at Byrd House Market, and to all our food producer/vendors for all the great work they do to bring you great food wherever you shop it.In fact, VCU students let the vendors know their appreciation during National Food Day at the Market last week when they visited every one and gave them a Thank You card with a great graphic created from the words collected during a customer survey a few weeks earlier. College students have been swoopin’ in to take advantage of the $10 Student Box (a deal saving them anywhere from 20-30%) provided by participating vendors since first launched at Food Day 2012, but there’s been a real upsurge in their numbers this fall, so as manager, I want to thank them both – students and vendors for their mutual support.
As we head into the holiday season, great gift ideas abound at Byrd House Market… finely grown and crafted foods are always a welcome treat, as well as goodies for your pets and balms for body and soul. Fine goods at great prices! Not sure, ask me!
See you at Byrd House Market!

What is SNAP?

Remember “Food Stamps? This critical safety net federal program is now called SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). Intended as a support to household food budgets, most people rely on it entirely as incomes have not kept pace with costs of living. Students, families, our elders and working adults use use SNAP. Did you know you can use SNAP to buy fresh foods, food plants and seeds? Byrd House Market has offered access to SNAP users since 2011. Know someone who might need help paying for food?

She has a B.S. in Public Health with a particular passion for promoting community health through good nutrition, specifically local, seasonal, fresh foods.
