ccess to fresh and local foods has been a longstanding commitment of the Charlottesville City
Markets. Starting in 2009, the farmers’ markets have
accepted Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
dollars. Market Central, the non-profit charged with engaging
the Charlottesville City Market
community, oversees the program.
SNAP users are able to swipe their card at the
Market Central info booth during market times to
purchase $1 tokens. These tokens have no expiration
date and can be used to purchase a wide variety of
products at the market. Thanks to several grants, Market
Central also offers a Double Dollars program where SNAP
customers are eligible to receive up to $10 in matching funds at no
cost—swipe your SNAP card for $10 in tokens and you’ll receive an
extra $10 to spend at the market.

Bringing Local to You
by Jessica Palmer
C
harlottesville is no stranger to grocery
stores where offering local is part
of their business motto—and our
options keep growing with places like JM Stock
Provisions and RelayFoods.com.
Stepping into JM Stock Provisions (Stock)
on West Main St. in Charlottesville is like walking
in to a smoker—the smell is delicious, and
according to James Lum, one of the owners, “It
pretty much always smells like smoke…but that
doesn’t mean we’re burning down!” he jokes.
Stock, a whole-animal butcher shop and
food market, has been open for a year and a
half and has created a place for locals and local
foods to connect. James says that choosing
Charlottesville as the place to settle was
easy, ‘Honestly, one of the reasons we picked
Charlottesville was because we met Zach Miller
of Timbercreek Organics. Zach produces a good
product, and they’re responsive. They can meet
our demands, which are pretty strict at times.”
Finding proteins hasn’t been difficult with so
many great producers in the area—Stock also
sources from River Oak Farm, Deep Rock Farm,
Autumn Olive Farm, Wolf Creek Farm, and on
occasion, Polyface when they need to fill in gaps.
“We’re offering something different, a little bit
more custom. We do a lot with the products we
get in—cut it fresh to order, offer dry-age cuts,
and make all our sausage, sliced meats, and
bacon”, explains James.
Aside from meats, they also offer local
produce in season (and during the tougher
winter months, they try to offer only domestic
and organic produce), local value-added
products, local wine and beer, and in-house
made prepared foods.
With plans to expand to floor-to-ceiling
shelves, Stock hopes to become a one-stop
shop and cornerstone of their community. “We
don’t want to be an extra errand,” James says.
“We would rather be somewhere you can buy
everything you need to make dinner for your
family, and a place that you just have to visit.”
RelayFoods.com began its evolution into
an online grocery store with a strong local
commitment here in Charlottesville. In this
second floor office Relay staff organizes online
orders that are bagged and delivered to 21
weekly pick up locations in the Charlottesville
area—saving customers time and a trip to the
grocery store.
Relay offers both national brand and local
products, and the company estimates that
close to 30% of an order will be local products.
“It’s not just a good story—local actually does
quite well and is competitive.” says Clare
Bender, Relay’s Local Artisan Senior Category
Manager. Her goal is to find comparably and
competitively priced local products to challenge
our inclinations to purchase national brands.
“We want to provide a fabulous local alternative
that supports someone in your neighborhood,”
Clare explains.
To that end, Relay is proactive in finding local
producers. Not only do they immerse themselves
in the community and reach out to producers,
they also have an online vendor interest web
page and take customers’ requests for certain
local products. Local producers are highlighted in
their own brand page on Relay’s website in order
to introduce customers to the producer and their
products.
Producers who work with Relay are able to
sell products for ‘inventory’ or as last minute
‘just-in-time’ sales, and Relay values the ability to
work with a producer to plan out a season. Cassy
Kelly, Relay’s Local Produce Senior Category
Manager says, “During the winter months we
plan with growers—what products we’re looking
for and what volumes we’re going to need.”
“Local will always be a focal point for Relay,”
says Cassy. Currently purchasing from over
200 local producers in their delivery region
(Baltimore through the Research Triangle in
North Carolina), Relay is offering their customers
a convenient way to learn about and purchase
local foods.
CSAS/BUYERS COOPERATIVES
Community Supported Agriculture
Community Supported
Agriculture (or CSA) is
a way for your family
to get your weekly
produce and other farm
products while directly
supporting a local farm
at a time when they
need it most. A family
signs up for a CSA share
at the beginning of a
growing season. Since the farm receives the payment upfront, they
are immediately able to invest in the seeds, equipment, and other
materials needed to launch their production for the season. In
return, your family receives a box of farm fresh products each week
of the growing season (anywhere between 20 and 25 weeks), to
be picked up either on-farm or at specific drop-off locations. The
variety of products you receive each week changes throughout the
season, and many farms offer recipes for less familiar items.

with small seedlings—the start of the farm’s
vegetable crops that provide 400 full CSA shares
each year.
I’m introduced to Michelle McKenzie, a farm
manager who started out on the first-ever farm
crew and never left. “I love it here,” Michelle says,
as she takes me around the greenhouse. Seeding
begins in mid-February and goes until early May,
and follows the 6-page seeding schedule work-list
that keeps everyone on track.
CSA members crave diversity and Bellair has
50 types of vegetables, and nearly 100 different
varieties. Offering different varieties also helps
with season extension. “Not all lettuces like to grow
in the summer, but by growing a couple varieties
that do, we can extend the season and offer our
members lettuce for longer,” Michelle explains.
Before leaving, I watch the farm crew prepare
and seed the members’ pick-your-own beds with
peas. It’s exciting to imagine that in a few weeks
CSA members will trickle in to pick up their first
share of the season.
Visit Bellair Farm CSA’s website for more
information on CSA membership (full for 2015),
volunteer workdays, and their summer workshop
series: www.bellairfarm.com.

or farm manager Jamie Barrett of Bellair
Farm CSA, being a resource for the larger
community is part of the farm vision. Jamie
didn’t grow up with agriculture—it was something he
discovered. “There’s all these connections to nature
and cycles, [I realized that] this is what I wanted to
do with my life and I hadn’t known it was out there—
we want Bellair to be a place where we can provide
that connection for our members,” says Jamie.
The property has been in agricultural
production—in some way or another—since the
1790’s, and its most recent iteration falls in line
with supporting local, organic food. It will become a
certified organic farm later this year.
By inviting CSA members, volunteers and school
groups to help out on the farm, Bellair harnesses the
spirit of community and idea building. “The energy
and ideas people bring on the farm feed us, there’s so
much possibility here, but we are limited. When ideas
fit with our goals, we can let volunteers run with it,
and Bellair is a better place much faster than we
could ever do alone,” Jamie explains.
Even though the sky was gray and the wind
cold when I visited, the farm was busy preparing
for the upcoming season. Jamie slid open the
greenhouse doors to three very long tables covered
