| Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts continue at Weaver Street Market Over One Thousand Dollars Collected at Registers Through the collection jars at the registers, our generous owners, customers and employees have donated $1300.00 to the local chapter of the American Red Cross in less than two weeks. As of today, Tuesday, the money collected at our registers will be used to support evacuees currently in the Triangle. We are contacting the shelter in Raleigh to determine in what way we can be most helpful, and will continue to share information as we find out. If you know of evacuees staying within shopping distance of Weaver Street Market, please contact me at 913-1588 for a gift certificate to the co-op. And, don't forget about the Gulf Coast Fundraiser at Panzanella on Monday, September 26. Tickets to the buffet-style dinner are only $35, including drinks. Every cent of the ticket price goes directly to help out folks affected by the Hurricane, so both your belly and your heart will feel great! |

| Feature Farm Dinner Tomorrow! |
Wednesday, September 14, 5:30 - 9:00 pmTimberwood Organics: Ray and Maria Christopher Ray Christopher, his wife Maria, her sister and their collective children work the 4-6 acres around their house that make up Timberwood Organics. They plant by hand and are certified organic. They squeeze an amazing amount of life and service out of their fields. In addition to selling wholesale to stores like Weaver Street Market, Timberwood Organics is a Community Supported Agriculture which has 100-150 member households. This is their fourth season delivering organic vegetables to members' homes and this year Maria will add fresh baked bread to their offerings. Ray also keeps a dozen beehives to fertilize the crops. Recently, Ray purchased ten acres up the road to be used as a distribution hub for farmers in our area and the eastern part of North Carolina. This is an important development for local and regional organic farmers. It means a central location for collection, storage and distribution of produce with more attention to sales and quality and more input from the growers. Consumers in our area should see increased availability and higher quality organic produce. This is a great service to our community. |
