Vegetable and Berry Field Day July 13, 2011

Virginia State University is hosting its 8th annual Vegetable and Berry Field Day on July 14, 2011. Our theme is “Grow, Sell, and Eat Virginia Super Foods”. Antioxidant-rich "Super Foods" are a growing part of the American diet. The market for Super Foods is valued at $38 billion in 2011. Health-conscious consumers seek out locally-produced foods when possible, and Virginia farmers can boost their incomes by becoming involved in these markets.
Our featured speaker is Tonia Reinhard, nationally-recognized author of the book Super Foods: The Healthiest Foods on the Planet, who will excite us with information on eating better, looking younger, feeling healthier, and living longer by including Super Foods in a balanced diet.
