Can A Quality Farmers Market Prove Holistic?

By Robert Sutter


The best quality farmers market is one that is going to place more of an emphasis on local endeavors above anything else. I think that this is tremendous because, in terms of locally grown produce, you want to appeal to those on a smaller scale in order to retain freshness. However, what if I were to tell you that efforts made on this farm could prove to be, in a world, holistic? I believe that such a shift could benefit everyone from consumers who make purchases to the farmers who produce results.

Charlottesville Tomorrow posted an article regarding one's couples efforts in the realm of organic farming. In Virginia, Chris and Annie Newman have been able to bring a holistic business by the name of SylvanAqua Farms to the surface. For those who do not know, this is a startup company that will specialize in bringer smaller amounts of food to smaller crowds. I think that while the results of this business are ones to talk about, perhaps the development of said business is a point that is worthier of discussion.

Not only did the efforts of the Newmans prove to be some of the most effective but they were able to attain support from the general public as well. The article said that the couple started a Kickstarter campaign in order to support the farm and a total of $8,000 was raised as a result. The Newmans also sold their home to build even more funds. To say that this shows dedication to a particular endeavor is something that, in my mind, should not be overlooked.

Expansion is planned for SylvanAqua, which is something that is required for any quality farmers market to thrive. Currently, the company only offers pumpkin pies and broiler chickens, so it is clear that there is more than a bit of room for more items to be added to the mix. However, the company plans to expand its inventory to include such aspects as eggs, heirloom vegetables, or what have you. These particular items are worth getting organic and authorities like Colle Farmers Market will agree.

The idea of not only growing food for the masses but making sure that said masses are aware of the processes is vital. I am sure that many would like to have a general idea of where their food is coming from and this is something that any quality farmers market can stand to help. With this in mind, isn't it a given that consumers will be more likely to invest? SylvanAqua is growing and, in time, even more products will be offered to those who are inclined to buy.
