Loudoun's Virtual Farmers' Market

At the LCDC meeting last night, I learned about the online, virtual Farmers' Market that is available here in Loudoun: Loudoun Flavor.
Loudoun Flavor Market is the first Virtual Farmer's Market affiliate of the Fresh Fare Market. Like other Fresh Fare Markets in other counties, Loudoun Flavor will offer Loudoun County’s most convenient, high quality fresh farmer’s market. We will strengthen our local farm & town economy and improve our quality of life. Loudoun Flavor and Fresh Fare Market will provide a virtual marketplace with physical pick up points where residents can obtain excellent farmed and handmade products, education, resources, opportunities and assistance towards this mission. We will strive for a sense of community within our membership and in conjunction with our sponsors and affiliates. The results will be meaningful to life in Loudoun. Areas positively impacted will include human health, history and land preservation, air/soil/water quality, farm animal health, related industries and small businesses (including agriculture, tourism, local retail, healthcare, education) and employment rate. - Loudoun Flavor
Pretty cool, huh? You can order from local farmers, online, and pick up your orders at nearby locations.
