Feast RVA October 14, 2012

Food by Lamplighter, co-sponsored with Art 180, music by JOSH SMALL!!! Come vote on the following GREEN ballot submissions:

Organic/Heirloom Seedling project: I am a local food gardener frustrated by the lack of quality seedling availability.Through acquiring a small greenhouse, I would be able to grow an array of organic seedlings and make them available to Richmond gardeners throughout the year. Focusing only on vegetables, herbs and fruit seedlings, the goal would be to provide as many transplants to people willing to grow their own food. This idea could help create more momentum within the food community by providing locals with a more efficient way of growing organic food at home. - Andrew Alli

Richmond Food Co-op: The Richmond Food Co-op will be a member-owned and -operated food store providing affordable, local, sustainable and healthy food options. The Co-op is scheduled to open in late summer 2013, and now is the time to begin a publicity campaign and a membership drive. Our dedicated steering committee is working to raise funds for these materials – buttons/tee-shirts, surveys, and membership forms - so we can begin to grow our community. - Michele Lord

Pedal Pops: We are Pedal Pops. We offer mobile gourmet popsicles, or as we see it, the new cupcake. As the season ends, we are currently working on setting up plans for next year. Working on and out of a bike allows us the freedom to move around the city as wells as venture to local hot spots where people may be such as Belle Isle and Bryan park (especially during soccer seasons).We have lots to do as far as turning Pedal Pops from an experimental hobby to a legitimate business. One of our main goals during this time also is to acquire a new set of wheels. -Sara Williamson
