Bread and Wine Social with Rob Nichols - Rescheduled!
New time! Thursday, October 8, 6 pm - 8 pm
$12 in advance / $15 at the door


Every day we get to enjoy great bread thanks to the hard work of Rob Nichols and his team at Weaver St. Market. Too often bread is relegated to a side plate, an afterthought in a larger food and wine context. But life in this community would be impossible for many of us if bread of this caliber was not readily available. We will show how great bread and wine are a match that needs little in the way of adornment. Come talk to Rob about his quality work at this casual event.

More on the Exciting World of Phone Books
by Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer
Phone books piling up at your door? Five million trees were cut down to make this year's supply of phonebooks, many of which won't be used due to the availability of Internet directories. Efforts are still underway to make phone book delivery optional. In the meantime, remember you can recycle old and unwanted books right at the curb and at drop-off sites. (Please remove plastic bags and any non-paper, like those advertising magnets stuck to the front cover! For more information, visit the county website.)

Opt-out efforts have been mostly spearheaded by the Product Stewardship Institute (PSI), and the phone book industry has responded somewhat. PSI began working on the issue in 2006, with the result that the two major phone book publisher associations put together environmental guidelines and asked their members (phone book publishers) to sign a commitment letter agreeing to abide by the guidelines by the end of 2010. The guidelines include publishing phone books using minimal materials, allowing people to opt-out, and promoting recycling. Read more here.

The associations, however, worked to defeat legislation in North Carolina in 2007 that would have required phone books to display opt-out information prominently. Read about this at the Yellow Pages Association website. (Scroll down about halfway to May 2007.) The associations claim that voluntary measures will be enough to solve the problems of unwanted phone books, but some think their efforts have been lacking.

Meanwhile, there's been hopeful talk of 'opt-in' programs for the White Pages that remove the hassle of opting-out. While the slim White Pages are less of an environmental concern than the bulky Yellow Pages, the movement is still a good one, and some states and phone companies are already implementing such programs. Find out more about this here.

Don't forget, phonebooks (old or unneeded) can be recycled at the curb with all paper and at drop-off sites. Magazines, phonebooks and newspapers no longer need to be separated!

Parker Family Farms Dinner


Parker Family Farms Hurdle Mills, NC

"We strive to be good stewards of the land. We are committed to raising our four children, our crops and our animals in a wonderful, nurturing farming environment similar to how we were raised. Our children help feed and water the animals and with harvesting crops. They love to raise their own pigs, cows and chickens for 4-H and just for fun. Together, we strive to be good stewards of the land that God has provided for us.

Our Farmer's Hybrid hogs are raised on open pasture along with a few cows, with small grains for cover crops and corn for feed. We rotate our pigs periodically to graze on forages of fescue, barley, millet, clover and other mixed grasses. Along with pasture to graze, the pigs are fed a corn feed mix.

We adhere to the Animal Welfare Institute standards, practice humane husbandry skills and do not use antibiotics or growth hormones in our animal's feed."
