The weather is looking promising for tomorrow’s South of the James Market. You can look forward to a morning of local goodness in Forest Hill Park. Here are some of the highlights…
It’s likely to be a pepper-palooza! If you haven’t bought up your share of peppers this summer, get on it … look for hot ones, sweet ones, little ones, big ones. They’ll all be there.
Broadfork Farm let us know that they will have super sweet peppers tomorrow: “These pepper beauties are all sweet and no spice. The most delicious ever!

Baby not included.”

Each Sunday morning Steve Haas of HaaShrooms leads wild mushroom and wild food forays on Tuckahoe Plantation. These forays are open to the public and the cost is $50 per participant. They start out at 9 am and forays last about an hour. After the foray you can tour Steve’s mushroom cultivation rooms at his home on Tuckahoe. Call Steve (804-564-6886) to reserve a spot!
The Hanover Extension Office will hold a unique “Jam’n Jam” two-day summer day camp on August 5-6. The camp will be held from 9 am to 3 pm each day. During the first day, campers will visit Agriberry berry farm to see the farm in production and pick their own blackberries. The second day will consist of making blackberry jam and ice cream sauce using the berries they picked the previous day.
