The Best Little Market in Belmont

If you're a resident in the Belmont Neighborhood than you have surely been to the C'ville Market, and if you haven't , then you need to give it a stop. Located near the intersection of Carlton Road and Carlton Avenue, the C'ville Market is in the same shopping center as Belmont Pizza and Pub.

As the retail arm of Cavalier Produce, they have all of the most fresh local produce and maintain their motto, "If it's in Season, we have it!" You won't find a huge store when you walk in, but rather a rather unassuming market that has a great selection of not only local produce, but meats produced by local farms as well. Breads by local mills and bakeries and a great selection of chocolate of all varieties positioned near the check out registers so that, on the rare occasion you have to wait to check out, you can survey just what chocolate you want to take home with you to go with those fresh strawberries and that bottle of wine from their extensive selection.

Locally owned and operated by Steve and Denise Yetzer, the Market has a strong focus on supporting
their local community that can be seen in the Local Artist Wall behind the register, their support of non-commercial public radio as well as the local ASPCA. Now, I am always one that loves to have local businesses, with local products that support their community, and because of that I never mind paying a little extra to keep the economy that I live and work in strong. But at the C'ville Market, you can step out the door with a bag of groceries that is not just full of variety but also very inexpensive! You can't do your full spectrum of shopping their - if you need a ton of cleaning products or expect to be able to pick up a package of lightbulbs and a quart of motor oil with your asparagus and gallon of milk, then this may not be the place for you. But for your regular day to day picking up things on the way home from work and stocking the kitchen pantry, this is a great stop that you should check out. And don't forget to look up their deal on Cardagin, you can get a free reusable grocery bag as a part of their commitment to the environment AND $5 dollars off any purchase of $25 or more, once a month, every month. And that's just the beginning.

So, if you are a Belmont Resident who hasn't been to visit the C'ville Market, you need to make a stop and check it out, I think you'll be surprised.

Local Food in Charlottesville, VA - Bellair CSA

The Bellair Farm in Albemarle County, VA has a history dating back to the 1700's. As a part of its current mission to "develop an ecologically sound plan for Bellair Farm so it can be sustained as an agricultural, historic and natural resource benefitting the local community" the Bellair Farm is now offering participation to the community in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.

CSA Programs allow members of the community to participate in the support of, and directly benefit from, local farms by purchasing shares of crops to be grown that year. It benefits both the farm and the community as the person purchasing the share in advance gets the produce at about half of the market price. It benefits the farm by allowing them to have monetary resources when they most need them - in the spring when farmers must buy seeds and equipment for the coming season - without having borrow money from lenders. The community benefits by having a direct connection to a local food source, maintaining agricultural land and otherwise providing for a more stable and sustainable local economy.

Bellair Farm's CSA Program comes at a cost of $600 per share. This can be billed wherein the buyer sends in a $100 deposit and then pays off the remainder in two equal installments. Each week the shareholder can pick up their share of the crops either at the farm or on a designated day or time at a market in town. Bellair Farm's plan seeks to provide 360 pounds of produce for each shareholder. From 12-20 different types of vegetables are available each week and you have an opportunity to choose what comes in your weekly share so that you have items you will actually use.

Bellair Farm grows its produce using organic standards and a respect for the land.
