Note from BHM manager Ana Edwards:

Dear BHM Shoppers, Visitors, Friends, Playmates, Volunteers, Neighbors and Passersby,

Our final 2011 market day is upon us and we have our USUAL WONDERFUL ARRAY of (certainly!!) the freshest, most delicious, accessible, affordable and inspiring foods a farmers market can have! We can thank our farmers and food-crafters, vendors, staff and volunteers, but we also must thank YOU!

Thank you for supporting Byrd House Market – as a market, as a community gathering place and as a program of William Byrd Community House. The feedback I get most commonly is that ours is “a great market” or “my favorite market”. When I ask Why? the the typical responses are “great food selection” and “it has a real community feel”. That makes me feel good. When I took on the role of market manager, more than anything else I wanted to NOT get in the way of a great thing and I think I’ve been successful at that. Our challenges have included parking, weather and the economy, but by and large Byrd House Market works well and is determined to do great.

Looking forward, WBCH will be visioning just how to make this market better. Your input is critical to my ability to imagine and our ability to plan for any improvements or changes to process, site/facilities, equipment and programs. Please think about what does make it work and what would make even better and send me your suggestions. (Unless you want me to craft you a survey??)

You never know what we can do, working together.

Thanks for a great season and I will see all you Renegades at the Market!

Ana Edwards, Manager
