Welcome to the Friendly City.
Not only are we friendly here in Harrisonburg, we're treated to a great variety of good food. Considering our relatively rural location in the Shenandoah Valley, the 'Burg is big time.
While there is already a great selection of local farmer's markets, worker-owned restaurants, and nuts-and-berries shops o'plenty, I'm looking forward to the creation of the Friendly City Food Co-Op. It plans to offer a "consumer-owned, democratically run, grocery market that emphasizes healthy foods, quality goods and local produce."
If you live in Virginia, you can join! I am.
I like thinking about our money being spent on local goods in a locally owned shop... that we can ride bikes to! 'cause it won't be on the "NOVA" side of town. I can't wait!
Who else loves a good co-op?
