Virginia Beach / Shop Local

Virginia Beach is glad you’re here! Each challenge you complete is a small step for Virginia Beach… and a giant leap for the planet. Take a picture of yourself completing the challenge below. Upload the photo here, and you’ll be entered into this week’s drawing. Then come right back and do it again.

Instructions:

Visit a nearby farmer’s market or store selling locally-produced food. Veggies and fruits that haven't traveled hundreds or thousands of miles to get to your table not only cut down on emissions, but taste great too.

(Snap a shot of yourself with a local farmer or grocer or with the delicious meal you prepared with locally-grown food and upload it).

I manage the Five Points Community Farm Market in Norfolk, just up the highway from my house in Virginia Beach. It is natural for me to work hard at selling people local fruits, veggies and other healthy foods. The picture shows my Virginia Grown logo, name tag and smile you can find me wearing Wed - Sun year round.
