Access to fresh and local foods has been a long-standing commitment of the Charlottesville City Markets. Starting in 2009, the farmers’ markets have
accepted Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) dollars. Market Central, the non-profit charged with engaging
the Charlottesville City Market community, oversees the program.
SNAP users are able to swipe their card at the Market Central info booth during market times to purchase $1 tokens. These tokens have no expiration
date and can be used to purchase a wide variety of products at the market. Thanks to several grants, Market
Central also offers a Double Dollars program where SNAP customers are eligible to receive up to $10 in matching funds at no
cost—swipe your SNAP card for $10 in tokens and you’ll receive an extra $10 to spend at the market.
Charlottesville City Markets Open for SNAP Families
For more information, contact Kelly at Market Central at [email protected]

Community Supported AgricultureCommunity Supported Agriculture (or CSA) is a way for your family to get your weekly produce and other farm products while directly supporting a local farm at a time when they need it most. A family signs up for a CSA share at the beginning of a growing season. Since the farm receives the payment upfront, they are immediately able to invest in the seeds, equipment, and other materials needed to launch their production for the season. In return, your family receives a box of farm fresh products each week of the growing season (anywhere between 20 and 25 weeks), to be picked up either on-farm or at specific drop-off locations. The variety of products you receive each week changes throughout the season, and many farms offer recipes for less familiar items.

Stepping into JM Stock Provisions (Stock) on West Main St. in Charlottesville is like walking in to a smoker—the smell is delicious, and according to James Lum, one of the owners, “It pretty much always smells like smoke…but that doesn’t mean we’re burning down!” he jokes.
Stock, a whole-animal butcher shop and food market, has been open for a year and a half and has created a place for locals and local foods to connect. James says that choosing Charlottesville as the place to settle was easy, ‘Honestly, one of the reasons we picked Charlottesville was because we met Zach Miller of Timbercreek Organics. Zach produces a good product, and they’re responsive. They can meet our demands, which are pretty strict at times.”
Finding proteins hasn’t been difficult with so many great producers in the area—Stock also sources from River Oak Farm, Deep Rock Farm, Autumn Olive Farm, Wolf Creek Farm, and on occasion, Polyface when they need to fill in gaps. “We’re offering something different, a little bit more custom. We do a lot with the products we get in—cut it fresh to order, offer dry-age cuts, and make all our sausage, sliced meats, and bacon”, explains James.
Aside from meats, they also offer local produce in season (and during the tougher winter months, they try to offer only domestic and organic produce), local value-added products, local wine and beer, and in-house made prepared foods.
With plans to expand to floor-to-ceiling shelves, Stock hopes to become a one-stop shop and cornerstone of their community. “We don’t want to be an extra errand,” James says. “We would rather be somewhere you can buy everything you need to make dinner for your family, and a place that you just have to visit.”
RelayFoods.com began its evolution into an online grocery store with a strong local commitment here in Charlottesville. In this second floor office Relay staff organizes online orders that are bagged and delivered to 21 weekly pick up locations in the Charlottesville area—saving customers time and a trip to the grocery store.
Relay offers both national brand and local products, and the company estimates that close to 30% of an order will be local products. “It’s not just a good story—local actually does quite well and is competitive.” says Clare Bender, Relay’s Local Artisan Senior Category Manager. Her goal is to find comparably and competitively priced local products to challenge our inclinations to purchase national brands. “We want to provide a fabulous local alternative that supports someone in your neighborhood,” Clare explains.
To that end, Relay is proactive in finding local producers. Not only do they immerse themselves in the community and reach out to producers, they also have an online vendor interest web page and take customers’ requests for certain local products. Local producers are highlighted in their own brand page on Relay’s website in order to introduce customers to the producer and their products.
Producers who work with Relay are able to sell products for ‘inventory’ or as last minute ‘just-in-time’ sales, and Relay values the ability to work with a producer to plan out a season. Cassy Kelly, Relay’s Local Produce Senior Category Manager says, “During the winter months we plan with growers—what products we’re looking for and what volumes we’re going to need.”
“Local will always be a focal point for Relay,” says Cassy. Currently purchasing from over 200 local producers in their delivery region (Baltimore through the Research Triangle in North Carolina), Relay is offering their customers a convenient way to learn about and purchase local foods.

Bellair Farm CSABellair Farm CSA

For farm manager Jamie Barrett of Bellair Farm CSA, being a resource for the larger community is part of the farm vision. Jamie
didn’t grow up with agriculture—it was something he discovered. “There’s all these connections to nature and cycles, [I realized that] this is what I wanted to do with my life and I hadn’t known it was out there—we want Bellair to be a place where we can provide that connection for our members,” says Jamie.
The property has been in agricultural production—in some way or another—since the 1790’s, and its most recent iteration falls in line with supporting local, organic food. It will become a certified organic farm later this year.
By inviting CSA members, volunteers and school groups to help out on the farm, Bellair harnesses the spirit of community and idea building. “The energy and ideas people bring on the farm feed us, there’s so much possibility here, but we are limited. When ideas fit with our goals, we can let volunteers run with it, and Bellair is a better place much faster than we could ever do alone,” Jamie explains.
Even though the sky was gray and the wind cold when I visited, the farm was busy preparing for the upcoming season. Jamie slid open the greenhouse doors to three very long tables covered
with small seedlings—the start of the farm’s vegetable crops that provide 400 full CSA shares each year.
I’m introduced to Michelle McKenzie, a farm manager who started out on the first-ever farm crew and never left. “I love it here,” Michelle says, as she takes me around the greenhouse. Seeding begins in mid-February and goes until early May, and follows the 6-page seeding schedule work-list that keeps everyone on track.
CSA members crave diversity and Bellair has 50 types of vegetables, and nearly 100 different varieties. Offering different varieties also helps with season extension. “Not all lettuces like to grow in the summer, but by growing a couple varieties that do, we can extend the season and offer our members lettuce for longer,” Michelle explains.
Before leaving, I watch the farm crew prepare and seed the members’ pick-your-own beds with peas. It’s exciting to imagine that in a few weeks CSA members will trickle in to pick up their first share of the season.
Visit Bellair Farm CSA’s website for more information on CSA membership (full for 2015), volunteer workdays, and their summer workshop series: www.bellairfarm.com.

THIS GUIDE IS A PUBLICATION OF THE
Piedmont Environmental CouncilPiedmont Environmental Council
The Piedmont Environmental Council works with citizens to keep Virginia’s Piedmont a wonderful place—by
protecting beautiful and historic landscapes, building great communities, promoting local farms and food, restoring natural resources, and connecting people with nature.
We are pleased to have helped citizens protect just over 375,000 acres in our nine-county region with voluntary conservation easements—one of the most dramatic private land conservation success stories in America.
Check out our website if you want to:
` learn about local and sustainable farming
` protect land
` build wildlife habitat where you live—from butterfly gardens to vast preserves
` make your home more energy efficient
` browse community events that can help you live more sustainably—or just get outdoors
` get involved in the issues shaping your local community
PEC is a non-profit grassroots organization supported by people who care about the Piedmont.
