This Saturday join the kick-off for the BUY LOCAL CHALLENGE WEEK, launched by "So Maryland, So Good," and participate in the HEALTHY PLATE, HEALTHY PLANET campaign, by striving to eat one item from a Maryland Farm every day of the week. Check it out at: http://www.buy-local-challenge.com/.

 

There will be plenty of local harvest to choose from at the CHEVERLY COMMUNITY MARKET to meet the Buy Local Challenge!

In addition to the usual bounty of seasonal VEGETABLES and FRUITS, Elk Run Winery will be back with delicious WINES.

We'll be feature new SPICES from Vanns, including Mediterranean Dip Mix and California Salad Seasoning.  For fresh HERBS, experi-mint with fresh mint from Emma Dudley's Farm.

BREADS will abound, and don't just ogle the OYSTERS -- buy yourself a peck, or more!

Check out the full list of vendors and products at the Cheverly Community Market website: cheverlycommunitymarket.com

It's the perfect way to top off the Buy Local Challenge week. You bring a dish that will feed 10 (preferably using local ingredients). Fresh corn on the cob, iced tea, lemonade, and coffee will be provided. Bring you own wine or beer.

There will be a peach eating contest, great rock/soul music, and a raffle! Also, crayons and markers will be available for kids to participate in a community art project.

The event will be at the Community Center. Tickets are $12.50 for ages 12-99. Children 6-12 are $6.50. Those under 6 and over 100 are free!
