A Quality Farmers Market May Become 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.

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.
