If anybody's wondering what ever happened to Mike Causey and Dodge Lodge Farm at the Greensboro Farmers' Curb Market, I have an answer for you. He has started another produce market at 505 N. Greene Street that operates six days a week and includes local and non-local produce (most of it comes from North Carolina). I'll have a full story in the newspaper tomorrow.

Also, I didn't have room to put this in the story, but another market of sorts could be in the works. Urban Harvest has applied for a federal grant that would fund a mobile produce market that could serve residents and workers in downtown and low-income neighborhoods. The organization would both sell fruit and vegetables and educate customers how to cook and plan menus around a seasonal diet. You can read more about it at the organization's blog.

Note: Starting next week, my position has changed from covering sustainability to covering Rockingham County. I will let you know about the future of this blog as soon as I know. I appreciate your readership.
