The fall harvest has arrived at local farmers markets - Washington Post
Tuesday, September 26, 2017Maryland and Delaware.Lois Allensworth departs her 150-acre farm in Leedstown, Va., before dawn in a truck loaded with tomatoes, garlic and eggplant. She leaves around 4 a.m. to make it to Falls Church with enough time to set up her “Lois’s Produce” stand. The early birds start flowing in at 8 a.m., and the morning goes by fast.She’s been hawking her vegetables, grown in the rich soil of the Northern Neck, at the Falls Church Farmers Market since it first opened in 1984.“We grow a variety of vegetables and even supply Whole Foods with melons. Our prize product is probably tomatoes. We are not an ‘organic’ farm but use the least amount of fertilizer and pesticides as possible,” Allensworth said.As the consumer trend of eating more local and sustainably grown food has mounted, the number of farmers markets exploded in the 2000s. “There were 8,268 farmers markets operating in 2014, up 180 percent since 2006,” NPR said. But according to the USDA, the growth has plateaued lately because the market for locally grown food has become saturated. This is actually believed to be a good thing and is related to the maturation of farmers markets.So head out this weekend to your neighborhood farmers market and take part in the fall bounty our region provides. But before you go, check out the mouthwatering pictures below for a flavor of what’s available at the award-winning Falls Church Farmers Market.A worker at Lois’s Produce stand hands a customer an eggplant.

A vision of beauty in Ridgeland: Wildflowers, whimsical sculptures and community spirit - Clarion Ledger
Monday, August 24, 2020Why showcase zinnias?The flowers pop with color, withstand summer heat and drought and bloom until frost kills them, said McKie, a horticulturist who with her husband, Maur, owns Green Oak Florist and Garden Center in Jackson and Ridgeland.She gives Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee credit for buying into her Zinnias Fields Forever vision. “He introduced me to Keep Ridgeland Beautiful and it became quite a partnership,” she said.Keep Ridgeland Beautiful, the city of Ridgeland and the Ridgeland Chamber of Commerce still partner to make the zinnia field, which has won awards for innovation and beautification, a reality.Gertrude's Garden in Madison County: Love of flowers blossoms into businessThe City of Ridgeland Public Works Department prepares the strip of land along U.S. 51 and Keep Ridgeland Beautiful committee members cast the zinnia seed. Donations help foot the bill for the zinnia seed, which costs between $700 and $1,000, Richardson said. Landscaping projects such as the zinnia field and wildflower field not only lift spirits but add another dimension to the city of Ridgeland, Richardson said. “It shows how important beautification is to a city,” she said.A plus for bees, birds and butterfliesThe wildflower field in Ridgeland came about three years ago after Keep Mississippi Beautiful, working with the Mississippi State Extension Service and other partners, established the Wildflower Trails of Mississippi beautification project. Wildflowers not only add beauty but also support bees, birds and butterflies.“We were thrilled that Ridgeland wanted to continue the wildflower field,” said Sarah Kountouris, executive director of Keep Mississippi Beautiful. “One reason is that it’s beautiful. When people see beautiful things it’s an invitation to visit. It says, ‘Come in and see our city.’"Colony Bistro & Wine Bar: Opening a culmination of 13-year dream for ownerAnd, it helps the tourism dollar. “With COVID-19 we need everything we can to have a brighter perspective on life in general.
