Support Edible Garden

I just recieved an email notice from the lovely Brookview Farm. In addition to reminding me they still have great products available at the weekly Farm Market, they also had a notice about supporting the restaurant Edible Garden. Haven't heard of Edible Garden? It's another restaurant dedicated to cooking with organic foods and supporting local farmers, with a beautiful, quaint location in Goochland a few minutes away from Brookview Farm. Some of the produce used is grown in the garden around the restaurant! Check out the menu -- it looks delicious, and changes often to reflect the seasons. We are planning to make an RFC visit to Edible Garden when it gets warmer, so look for a post in the upcoming months. In the meantime, you can support Edible Garden by attending the Goochland Country Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, March 4th, at 7PM. The restaurant seeks to renew its special use permit and get approval for extended hours, and they are hoping community members will speak out at the meeting in favor of the restaurant. If you can make it to the meeting (more details are at the Edible Garden website), Edible Garden invites you to dessert afterwards! Another option, if you can't make it, is to email one of the Goochland supervisors, whose email addresses are also listed on Edible Garden's site. This is a great way to be an activist for your local food movement, and don't forget the best part...dessert is included!
