Can A Quality Farmers Market Prove Holistic?

By Robert Sutter


There seems to be more of a focus on local business if you were to look into any quality farmers market. The idea of freshness is one that cannot be overlooked, especially when these crops are going to be sold on a local basis more than anything else. That being said, is it possible for more holistic efforts to be had in the realm of farming? Judging by a recent story that came to my attention, I believe that this change can benefit both consumers and growers in this field.

There was an article posted on Charlottesville Tomorrow that detailed the efforts of Chris and Annie Newman, a couple living in Virginia. They worked together in order to create SylvanAqua Farms, which is a business that focuses more so on the idea of a holistic approach. I think that this is great, seeing as how smaller amounts of substantial crops are going to be able to benefit a smaller group of individuals. While the business in general is something to consider, I believe that there is much more to see in terms of the company's development.

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.

One of the more vital aspects of any quality farmers market has to be that of expansion and I believe that such an idea can be connected to SylvanAqua. I am sure that most would be able to agree with the efforts made by this company but matters are a bit thin, since the company currently only offers pumpkin pies and broiler chicken to consumers. There are plans to broaden the horizons of this company with the implementation of eggs, broiler chickens, and items of that nature. Such a level of growth is connected to authorities the likes of Colle Farmers Market for the right reasons.

I believe that there is a lot of importance that comes with not only growing food but making sure that the knowledge of said food is able to reach the public. You want those who are looking to make purchases to be aware of where these products are coming from. Any strong quality farmers market is going to be able to tell you the same, too. I think that SylvanAqua is going to be able to grow and, as a result, bring about even better products in the long term.
