The Downtown Excellence Award goes to CFM!

DTWS Award.jpg

The Downtown Excellence Award goes to Cobblestone Farmers Market! We could not be more honored and excited to receive this award and want to thank each vendor, each customer, for being a huge part of what makes Cobblestone impactful in our community. We LOVE being a conduit between our farms and Winston-Salem's urban core, making good food accessible for YOU ALL!

Now for a few words about what the term 'SPRAYING' means in the world of growing edibles and how to engage with a producer as to what they might use to protect their crops from damage causing insects or disease! Let's get out of the way that most producers do SPRAY WATER. It might be part of their irrigation or it may be a spray bottle that is for plant hydration, no chemicals. Next, some producers spray with substances approved and regulated by both USDA certified organic and the sustainable farming product industry. At Cobblestone, all of our vendors produce either sustainably or are certified organic. If they do use spraying as part of their growing process, they do so with products of organic integrity. We would do our producers a disservice to speak on their behalf so we encourage you to engage in learning more about their practices in detail. To read up a bit, check out OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides an independent review of products, such as fertilizers, pest controls, livestock, health care products, and numerous other inputs that are intended for use in certified organic production and processing.

Please keep on learning right along with us - building on the good intel our producers stockpile and use to produce so beautifully!

STAY SHARP

CHEF SHARP on the state of garden tools....Ever tried shaving with an old razor compared to a brand new one? With the old razor you're more prone to cuts, irritation and infection. Your garden tools and mower blades are the same, dull blades smash, tear and rip at plants, increasing disease and pest damage. You can also reduce fatigue with a sharpened tool since a dull tool creates more work. Be kind to your plants, you wouldn't want your hair cut with dull rust scissors. Stop by to see CHEF SHARP about that necessary spring sharpening!
