Despite this spike, the health district took down its local COVID data portal last week—area case counts, vaccination rates, and other data are now only available on the Virginia Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control websites.

Monticello High School seniors Carlos Armengol and Caroline Devine have started a change.org petition calling on Virginia to remain a member of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a cap-and-trade program that aims to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuel power plants in 11 states. Though Virginia just joined RGGI last year, Governor Glenn Youngkin and state Republicans are working to withdraw the state from it.

T

he woman who built Charlottesville High School’s orchestra into an award-winning juggernaut is retiring after 40 years.

“Laura Mulligan Thomas has influenced generations of students in Charlottesville with a music education that is second to none,” said Charlottesville Superintendent Royal A. Gurley, Jr. in a release announcing her retirement. “She leaves a legacy in our schools.”

Thomas accepted the job as CHS orchestra director right out of college at age 22. In 1989,

she took the then-40-member orchestra to a competition in New York City and won a gold medal. Recognitions for her program kept adding up as Thomas led the orchestra to competitions across the United States and abroad.

Among many personal honors, Thomas was named Charlottesville Rotary Club’s Citizen of the Year, the Virginia Women’s Forum Charlottesville Woman of the Year, and Outstanding Educator in Central Virginia by Phi Delta Kappa. She was also the recipient of the Golden Apple and Piedmont Council of the Arts awards.

The city schools’ orchestra program begins at Walker Upper Elementary, and at CHS Thomas has additionally mentored string ensembles that perform at events around the Charlottesville area. Her former students range in age from late teens to late 50s, and many have gone on to careers in music performance and education.

Among those former students is Thomas’ daughter, Emily Waters, who will step into her mother’s shoes. Waters has degrees in music and music education from VCU and JMU. She is currently the orchestra director at Walker.

Crozet mom claims anti-racism changed son Crozet mother Melissa Riley has accused Albemarle County Public Schools’ anti-racism curriculum of completely warping her 13-yearold biracial son’s perspective on race and identity. Riley, who is white, claims that her son, an eighth grader at Henley Middle School, now identifies as a Black man, and has “racial issues.”

“He’s seeing things that don’t go his way as racism. And he is finding safety in numbers now,” Riley said in an interview on Fox News last week. “I asked him to clean the house, [he said] ‘racism.’”

The single mother also claims her son—who “looks Hawaiian”— never saw himself as different from his white classmates or experienced racism until the school district launched an anti-racism

pilot program at Henley, a predominantly white school, last spring.

She believes the program—which educates students on white privilege, systemic racism, and other racial issues—indoctrinates students to view and treat each other differently based on skin color, and ultimately promotes discrimination against white people.

Riley and other disgruntled parents are plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed against the county school board by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative nonprofit, in December, claiming that the district’s anti-racism curriculum violates the Virginia Constitution and parental rights. A circuit court judge dismissed the lawsuit last month, finding no evidence that the curriculum is racist or divisive.

ADF plans to appeal the ruling.

COMING SOON: Everyday Everybody

May 25 – 31, 2022 c-ville.com

n a virtual meeting last week, the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee discussed how Charlottesville and Albemarle County are working to drastically slash their carbon emissions, particularly in the context of transportation.

Susan Elliott, Charlottesville’s climate protection program manager, explained that 95 percent of the city’s emissions come from the community. Residential, commercial, and transportation each make up 30 percent, while 5 percent stems from waste. The remaining 5 percent comes from municipal operations.

The city has already begun to see progress in its fight against climate change—its emissions in 2019 were 30 percent less than 2011 levels. Still, within the next three to five years, the city’s climate action team plans to implement key mitigation strategies, including creating neighborhoods that are walkable, bikeable, and served by public transit. The team also wants to increase the use of green transportation—including e-bikes, scooters, and electric vehicles— among residents, and develop a network of electric vehicle charging stations across the community, among other big goals.

Elliott urged the city’s urban designers to prioritize travel conservation, and design more spaces that allow people to travel to important destinations within a five-minute walk radius.

Gabe Dayley, Albemarle’s climate protection program manager, provided a similar overview of the county’s status on climate action. In a 2018 report, the county’s emissions were about 10 percent less than its 2008 levels. Thirty-nine percent of the county’s emissions come from buildings,

while 52 percent stem from transportation—a much larger share than the city due to the county’s larger size.

According to a 2015 to 2019 report on work commutes, only around 16 percent of county residents take a bus, carpool, walk, bike, or use another environmentally-friendly form of transportation—the majority drive alone to get to work.

The county is considering reducing the amount of space allocated to on-street parking, and shifting it over to accommodate public transit, walking, and biking.

However, “with a large rural area, it’s unlikely that we would ever have a transit service that could serve all areas of the county, so we may need to rely more on the transition to personal electric vehicles than the city might have to,” Dayley said.

Over the past few years, there has been a growth in the usage of electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the county.

Though Albemarle does not have its own transit service, both city and county leadership want Charlottesville Area Transit to work toward electrifying its fleet—the University of Virginia, which has its own lofty climate goals, has already purchased four electric buses. The county is also looking into transitioning to electric school buses.

Following the presentations, members of the committee raised questions regarding the feasibility of increasing public transit, walkability, and bikeability in areas where driving seems to be the most accessible option. Dayley and Elliott explained that the city and county’s focus is on maximizing greener transportation options— but one trip does not have to be limited to a single mode of transportation.

“It’s not just the walkability, it’s not just the bikeability, it’s not just the transit access,” said Elliott. “It’s how those pieces intersect together.”

n the wake of 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests, the Virginia General Assembly passed the Marcus-David Peters Act. Named in honor of a 24-year-old Black high school biology teacher killed by a Richmond police officer during a severe mental health crisis in 2018, the 2020 law required localities to create a 9-8-8 number for mental health crises, and to develop protocols by July 2022 for when behavioral health experts, instead of law enforcement, will respond to crises related to mental health, substance use, and developmental disabilities.

Last year, the City of Charlottesville’s Marcus Alert work group began exploring how to develop the new mental health response system—but since then, little progress has been made on actually implementing it. Earlier this month, The People’s Coalition and Brave Souls On Fire held a rally in front of City Hall, calling on City Council to immediately establish a community-based response to mental health crises, completely separate from the Charlottesville Police Department, as well as create a 24/7 crisis center and new municipal department addressing community mental health needs, among other demands.

“What we don’t want is a situation where a person is in crisis, and it ends up being some type of preventable fatality,” said Myra Anderson, director of Brave Souls On Fire and co-chair of the Marcus Alert group, during the rally. “When you are in the depths of depression or despair, or having suicidal thoughts, and you reach out for help, we need to make sure as a community that that help is the right help you need.”

But with fluctuating deadlines and constantly evolving requirements, it currently remains unclear when the Marcus Alert system will be up and running in the Charlottesville area. In March, the Republicanmajority General Assembly passed a bill allowing localities with populations of less than 40,000 to opt out of the system. Those with more than 40,000 residents are now required to implement the system by July 1, 2028—two years past the original deadline.

Laws surrounding the Marcus Alert are expected to be reexamined during next year’s legislative session.

According to Sonny Saxton, executive director of the Charlottesville-UVA-Albemarle County Emergency Communications Center, the center has yet to hear back from the state’s Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services regarding the timeline and requirements for Charlottesville—which has around 46,600 residents— to implement the Marcus Alert. The system is currently available in only five localities across the state, including Prince William County, Richmond, and Virginia Beach.

“It will take time and substantial effort to ensure all these resource needs are met,” says Saxton. “Fortunately, we’ve also seen how there’s no lack of people who are eager to jump in and be intentional about this work.

The need is clear, and now it is largely a question of staffing, resourcing, and coordinating logistics between all parties involved.”

The local emergency communications center sees the limits of its current system on a daily basis, explains Saxton. In instances where an individual needs to be placed in emergency custody, it is difficult to predict wait times for a staffed bed, or when and where medical attention will be available.

Myra Anderson says it’s important that we, as a community, make sure everyone gets the kind of help they need.

MYRA ANDERSON, DIRECTOR OF BRAVE SOULS ON FIRE AND CO-CHIAR OF THE MARCUS ALERT GROUP

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

The nonprofit B.U.C.K. Squad is currently working to secure several grants in order to place 10 to 15 more violence interrupters in each of the city’s predominantly Black neighborhoods this summer.

“Some of the folks that were against us are family members of drug dealers,” claims Dickerson. “They don’t want us around because they’re benefiting from what these folks are doing.”

Under Dickerson’s leadership, the squad has continued to connect conflicting parties with the community resources they need, like mental health care and job opportunities, and continually follow up with them to make sure they do not turn back to violence.

“When you get to know them, they don’t really want to shoot these guns anyway,” says Dickerson. “Most of them are just trying to drive attention to themselves,” especially those whose fathers are incarcerated.

“They just don’t have no understanding of what life is really about, and how you can sustain your life,” he adds.

In addition to gun violence, the squad receives calls on its 24-hour hotline (365-4187) related to domestic violence, substance abuse, missing children, and other emergencies.

But the squad has not had the capacity to intervene in and prevent every shooting in the city. In fact, last year, amid a nationwide upswing in gun violence, CPD responded to over 250 reported shots-fired incidents. This year, there have already been several shootings, including at Fry’s Spring Beach Club in March. Two men sustained non-life threatening injuries, and police collected more than 100 cartridge casings at the scene. (Two men have since been arrested in association with the crime.)

“This is not just isolated to First Street or West Haven,” says Dickerson. “Anybody can get killed.”

In Charlottesville and across the country, gun violence is only expected to rise over the summer.

“There’s longer days. People are drinking more, smoking marijuana more, using drugs more,” says Dickerson. “That’s the catalyst for gun violence.”

The nonprofit is currently working to secure several grants in order to hire 10 to 15 more violence interrupters, so it can place a team in each of the city’s predominantly Black neighborhoods this summer.

To tackle the root causes of gun violence, the squad also aims to expand its community programming. It plans to continue hosting youth events this summer, and will also work to prevent recidivism. In collaboration with Piedmont Virginia Community College, member Bryan Page recently developed a 12week re-entry program that connects formerly incarcerated people with job training and mentorship. Around 4,500 people are scheduled to be released from Virginia prisons this summer. According to Virginia Department of Corrections’ figures, about 3,200 of those releases are due to a new state law expanding the earned sentence credit program—Dickerson expects over 100 to be returning home to Charlottesville.

“The first 72 hours are the most important hours of a person getting out of jail. That’s when he’s going to choose what direction he’s going to go in,” says Dickerson. “A lot of these guys are going to be re-incarcerated… if they don’t have certain avenues they can travel to get their life together.”

With additional funding, the organization plans to offer mental health services, career development, financial planning, grief counseling, vocational training, and other critical programs, as well as establish a permanent physical headquarters—including mediation centers and wraparound services—in the near future.

ollowing the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic, gun violence spiked across Charlottesville, particularly in the city’s predominantly Black neighborhoods. There were four gun homicides in 2020—a notable uptick from the two homicides in 2019 and one in 2018. By the end of the year, the Charlottesville Police Department had responded to 122 shots-fired incidents. This rise in gun violence continued into 2021, with multiple shootings taking place in or near public housing communities.

However, the year ended with zero homicides.

The city has the B.U.C.K.—Brothers United to Cease the Killing—Squad to thank for this drop in gun-related deaths, says its Executive Director Herb Dickerson. Since last January, the nonprofit squad has intervened in conflicts, attempting to talk down clashing groups before they start shooting.

In 2021, Dickerson says the squad intervened in about 79 incidents. So far this year, that number has been 46.

“The whole thing is developing relationships within these communities, and letting folks know what you’re attempting to do to help [the] guys with these guns and selling drugs. There is another way,” says Dickerson.

“Our personal experience and reputation proves that you can do different.”

In October, City Council donated $50,000 to the squad, which helped compensate its dozen members, as well as increase its patrols in predominantly Black neighborhoods.

However, the $50,000 has now run dry, forcing the group to rely on private donations to stay afloat.

“The $50,000 [was] a good start. We got the message out about what we’re doing, and people started supporting us,” says Dickerson. “You can’t get a person to go out in the streets at 2 o’clock in the morning for free—it just wouldn’t make sense to put their lives on the line.”

Councilor Michael Payne and then-mayor Nikuyah Walker voted against the $50,000 donation. Payne specifically cited concerns councilors had heard from the Public Housing Association of Residents and the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority. B.U.C.K. Squad founder Pertelle Gilmore severed all ties with the squad last June.

“The draw with the squad is that a lot of them are from the streets… Some of them deal with a lot of trauma, and just have personal issues,” squad board chair Kimberly Hayes told C-VILLE in October. “[Gilmore] and the squad came to an agreement that they thought it would be best that he deal with his issues.”

In response to these concerns, the squad created an accountability and grievance policy last year. It has also developed an “open relationship” with CRHA Director John Sales, says Dickerson.

Marcus Alert system is developed and implemented,” says Payne. “We need to be unified in laying the groundwork, making investments in our budget, conducting trainings… to allow us to hit the ground running.”

Payne emphasizes the importance of pursuing other avenues of non-police mental health responses as well. The Albemarle County Police Department recently opened a Crisis Intervention Team Assessment Center through a partnership with Region Ten, creating an environment for individuals experiencing mental health crises to receive proper care and assessment outside of the criminal justice system.

“When we conduct our search for the next chief of police, explicitly prioritizing implementation of these programs will be critical,” adds Payne. “There is a clear need in the community—we cannot just accept the bare minimum in terms of timelines and program scopes to improve our response to mental health needs.”

For Region Ten, which serves six localities including Charlottesville and Albemarle County, the current expectation is for the entire area to implement the Marcus Alert system, but it also remains unclear when that will happen, says Joanna Jennings, Region Ten community relations spokesperson.

This year, state lawmakers also extended the original July 1, 2021, deadline for localities to establish voluntary databases containing relevant mental health and emergency contact information to 2023— although in Charlottesville and Albemarle County, anyone who wishes to provide this information can already do so by calling Region Ten or the ECC’s non-emergency number (977-9041). In the case of a related 911 call, this information will be made available to the emergency responders dispatched to the scene.

However, nationwide changes to mental health crisis response are arriving soon. By July 16, anyone in the U.S. experiencing a mental health crisis will be able to call or text 988, and be connected right away with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, in accordance with a new Federal Communications Commission mandate.

Charlottesville, says City Councilor Michael Payne, cannot wait until 2028 to change its local response to mental health crises. This budget cycle, City Council allocated $100,000 toward the Marcus Alert system—an investment that Payne says needs to be connected to a coordinated plan.

“It is vital that the Emergency Communications Center, Charlottesville Police Department, and Charlottesville city government coordinate their efforts to position Charlottesville to be the next area where a

Wine wonder Joy Ting’s quest to elevate Virginia wine is founded in scientific curiosity BY MATT DHILLON

May 25 – 31, 2022 c-ville.com

here might be notes of butterscotch and baked goods, a bite of sour green apple, even a touch of goat cheese, or something earthier with floral aromas and a chocolaty finish. There is the terroir to consider, the climate, the living yeast, sugar content, temperature, phenolic compounds, tannins, malic acid, lactic acid, and more, but what makes good wine good wine?

In her lab at the Winemakers Research Exchange, Joy Ting searches for answers to this question. Entering her fourth year as research enologist for the organization, Ting gets to peek into the winemaking process of almost every vineyard in the state and help them improve their wine.

The WRE, a nonprofit research cooperative founded by winemakers and funded by the Virginia Wine Board, is dedicated to the improvement of Virginia wine. Ting’s job is to design and facilitate experiments on different winemaking practices and to help winemakers incorporate the results.

“Whenever we do an experiment, the first thing I do is ask the winemaker, ‘What was your winemaking goal in doing this experiment?’” says Ting, who’s married to C-VILLE contributor Paul Ting. “We want to keep that winemaking goal in view. And a lot of times it’s things like, ‘I wanted to improve the mouth feel of my wine,’ or, ‘I felt like I wanted more structure in this wine.’”

As she has discovered, good winemaking is as much about responding to the grapes as it is about creating wine. One of the first things Ting learned in the industry was how to adapt to the circumstances for each vintage.

“At its heart, this is an agricultural industry and we’re governed by what the weather and the climate give us,” Ting says. “There’s a balance between the need to have a good plan and the need to be flexible and have open hands to what the vintage is going to bring in and work with it, not against it.”

What Ting likes about working with wine is that it’s alive.

A marine biologist by training with a Ph.D. in applied biology from Georgia Tech, Ting came to wine from a scientific angle. Leaving her job as a high school biology teacher in Charlottesville, she started as a lab tech at Wineworks for the harvest of 2013 after a fateful conversation with the owner, Michael Shaps.

“I had gotten very interested in wine itself, but specifically in the production side, the side that sort of seems a little more scientific,” Ting says.

Winemaking engaged her inherent wonder at finding out how things work and her fascination with making things.

She learned an appreciation for craft from her mother, who was a seamstress.

“She just had this way of looking at fabric and knowing what to do and making it more beautiful than it was on its own,” Ting says.

From that early example, Ting has always been interested in the process of taking raw materials and developing what is best in them. In her own winemaking process, she keeps

that in mind. Good wine depends on what “So much of winemaking is showing up If it’s Virginia wine, the grapes are doing, and her role is to help every day and paying attention to the smaller Joy Ting has probably analyzed it. Ting matched details, just to sort of help to keep things on them express that.

By 2014, Ting was making small batches her biology Ph.D. with an track” she says. “It’s not very glamorous at all. interest in wine to become of her own brew. She experimented under But Ting never lost her enthusiasm for exa research enologist at Joy Ting Wines, her label, while learning the perimentation or her aptitude for teaching. In Winemakers Research Exchange, where she intricacies of winemaking at Wineworks, a 2018, when the position of research enologist large operation, where she could sometimes works to improve Virginia’s was incorporated into the WRE, it seemed like winemaking processes. a perfect fit. The position would need someone put in 12-hour days during the fermentation process. If the yeast were ready to be fed, it who could design experiments, analyze data, could turn into a 14-hour day. publish studies, and disseminate information in practical “You have to sort of watch that every day to make sure ways to local vineyards and winemakers. that you get it in there at the right time,” Ting says. “If you Virginia is a unique growing region with unique chaldon’t feed the yeast on time, there’s a point at which it lenges. Some of the wines people are most familiar with doesn’t matter if you feed them, they can’t eat it anyways don’t grow well here.

Winemakers look for grapes that fit the land. While Ting did simple lab work well within her wheelhouse, chardonnay is the most planted grape in Virginia, making but the numbers needed to be accurate enough to make up about 13-14 percent of the annual yield, it is a struggle to grow. However, a lesser-known white wine grape that very expensive decisions.

does great is petit manseng. This grape, with its small berries, thick skin, and loose clusters, has better airflow and is more disease resistant than most varieties.

“It was introduced into Virginia by our cooperative extension agent [Tony Wolf], who tried a bunch of different varieties to find out what actually grows here,” Ting says.

Now Virginia has the second largest planting of petit manseng in the world, next to its home region in France. Its high sugar and acid content deliver an interesting, sharp character to the wine. But it is still relatively obscure, making up about 2 percent of the annual yield.

Cabernet franc contends closely with chardonnay for most-planted grapes every year and averages about 12 percent of the annual yield. This red grape is typically used in blends because its floral, fruity, and mellow characteristics are often attached to vegetable or green pepper flavors. However, its resilience, adaptability, and earlier ripening cycle have prompted Virginia winemakers to embrace it in its own right and cultivate its potential.

In 2004, Virginia had 1,900 acres of fruiting vineyards, ranking it 10th overall in the country, according to data collected by the Virginia Wine Board. By 2008, that number climbed to 2,500 acres. In 2010, it spread to 2,633. In 2015, the growth peaked at 3,172 acres bearing fruit. In 2019, the number was climbing again at 2,969 acres and the state ranked eighth in overall wine production.

But Virginia wine remains an emerging industry and one that is continually working on establishing itself. It is still a world of experimentation and development.

“We’re not as well known around the world as many are,” says Ting. “I think one of the things we get from that is it’s still very intertwined, so a lot of people know each other and it’s still very collaborative and it’s very cooperative.”

Ting’s work at the research exchange is a testament to that collaboration. Vineyards can use this common resource to learn about the effects of leaf removal on the ripeness of their grape, how to integrate the skins during fermentation, or how sulfur dioxide could help with the storage of their wine.

“There are so many things, I think, that are improving the quality of Virginia wine, and I am very grateful that we get to be one part of helping to lift that tide,” Ting says.

Beyond her research, Ting contributes her expertise by collaborating as a winemaker on a variety of releases.

This spring she led a tasting of her work with The Wool Factory’s new label that showcased a 2020 petit manseng, a 2019 cabernet franc, and Bitte vermouth.

Her own rubric for what makes good wine is related to what makes people gather around a table, to sit together, and share an evening. Some of the exquisite fine wines we are accustomed to reserving for special occasions, but Ting favors a wine that you could drink any day, or every day. Wine is an ingredient in that everyday bond of coming together. The dinner table, she says, is not just about putting food in our bodies, it’s part of a bigger picture of community, communication, and connection.

“When I was growing up, my family would sit at the dinner table, we would eat our meal in the dining room, and then we would sit around and talk for three hours,” Ting says. “And so, I feel like one of the things I’m trying to do is I’m trying to make wines that go with you through the meal and help you want to linger longer at the table, talking to your family, talking to your friends, talking to whoever you’re having dinner with.”

Typically a loner in the studio, the frontman for American rock band War on Drugs assembles most of the group’s records by overdubbing pre-recorded tracks. It worked well for years, but in 2018 Granduciel was ready for something new— community. The band’s fifth studio album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, evolved from hours of in-person jamming and brotherhood between every member of the band. “It just reminded me of all the things I love about making music,” says Granduciel. “Collaborating with my friends, and letting everybody shine.” $45-50, 7pm.

Choreographer Shandoah Goldman is known for immersive performances that fuse film, location, sound, theater, and more. A reception at the museum follows the performance. Free, 6pm.

A rise in popularity finds Virginia cider going for the gold

Glassware: Although you may not drink cider from wine glasses normally, using a wine glass helps distinguish flavors because of its wide bowl and ability to concentrate aromas for evaluation. A larger, thinner bowl will help you swirl cider to bring out subtle aromas.

dance

Taste in order: Taste dryer, lighter ciders first and then move on to sweeter, heavier ciders.

Appearance: Look closely at color and clarity. Do you see bubbles? Is the cider watery and thin or full-bodied and syrupy?

Smell: Put your nose in the glass and evaluate the aroma. Can you smell anything, or is the impression intense and pungent? Does it smell like apples, pears, other fruits, flowers, herbs, vanilla, honey, spice? Is it musty?

Taste: Allow the cider to touch all parts of your tongue. Do the flavors match the aromas that you identified?

Is the cider sweet, acidic, bitter? If there is sweetness or acidity, is it in balance, or does the cider seem flat or sour?

Mouthfeel: Is it light, like water, or does it feel heavier, like syrup? Does it dry out your mouth or is it creamy?

The process of tasting cider is similar to tasting wine, but the underlying flavors vary between the source fruit of apples and grapes.

Like wine, specific training exists for those who taste cider professionally. These tips let you be the judge.

Comfort: Take your time. Taste in a well-lit, odor-free environment. Stay hydrated as you taste.

Length and finish: How do the flavors change and finish? How long does it last?

Overall impression: What is your final evaluation of the cider? Is it pleasant? Is it complex? Is it balanced?

How ‘bout them apples?

Temperature: Most people drink cider chilled at colder temperatures, but tasting at slightly warmer temperatures, 55 degrees is suggested, helps bring out flavors and textural components.

eginning in 2021, the annual Virginia Governor’s Cup competition, which traditionally recognizes the best wines in the state, included a separate category for cider. In 2022, the competition awarded 10 gold medals to ciders and Albemarle CiderWorks’ 2019 Hewes Crab won Best in Show. Opened by the Shelton family in 2009, Albemarle CiderWorks is Virginia’s oldest operating cidery. Production has expanded from three types of cider to the current count of 15 different varieties.

The growth of Albemarle CiderWorks parallels the renaissance of cider in Virginia, and its resurgence in the United States. Cider is considered one of the country’s original beverages, brought here from England by the first settlers and produced by several of the founding fathers. While consumption waned as beer and wine became popular, consumer interest has reignited in recent years, resulting in more cideries, more variety, and an increase in the volume of production.

In Virginia, cider falls under the same category as wine for tax purposes, and some of these tax dollars are controlled by the Virginia Wine Board, which uses the money for marketing, research, and other initiatives. As the cider market has grown, Virginia has ramped up promotion of the beverage. These efforts extend to the inclusion of cider in the Governor’s Cup, increased marketing, and the recent

expansion of the state-funded Winemakers Research Exchange (see page 16) to include cider in its research and education efforts.

With cider’s inclusion in the Governor’s Cup, the VWB recognized the wine/cider apples and oranges (well, grapes) situation by forming a separate category for cider, and assuring that the cider judges are distinct from the wine judges. This year’s judges panel featured cider enthusiasts, cider makers, cidery owners, and even a certified pommelier. Similar to the better-known sommelier designation for wine, the establishment in 2019 of the pommelier designation is more evidence of cider’s growing importance in the United States.

While a historic beverage rooted in history, cider is still new to many and presents an opportunity to taste, explore, and keep drinking local.

festival-style events typically pay only for themselves, with revenues going into the pockets of vendors and other staff. IX hosts only four to five gated events per year, and the foundation’s board hopes even those someday could be made free of charge.

Going forward, the organization hopes to support its 24-hour mural and sculpture art park and community-driven events with

small grassroots donations. Bryant says The Looking Glass will remain a critical revenue stream, drawing tourist dollars from outside C’ville to fuel the local art community. Sponsors are also crucial for events like IX’s summer film series.

“We are trying to do as few ticketed events as we can,” Bryant says. “We are growing and giving back to the community. We want to open the doors and be a public art park, 365.”

“It’s everything you would expect from an art festival…and it’s also a mural launch. It compounds itself, and everything coalesces in a great way.” ALEX BRYANT

result of the panel’s selection process is an eclectic collection of fresh artists, Harr says.

“The thing about IX Art Park is it allows for us to have a wide variety of art—from more traditional printing and photography to funky mixed media—that you wouldn’t see any other place,” Harr says. “We have a lot of artists participating that people have not seen.”

Most of the vendors will display their wares in traditional festival-style tents, according to Bryant, but the Charlottesville Arts Festival will also feature installations in the field stretching across the park, performances, and an outdoor art room for demonstrations and workshops. The goal is to use as much of the available space as possible and make the event “experiential and immersive,” Bryant says.

Among the vendors will be artists Sean McClain, Charlene Cross, Erin Harrigan, Jamie Agins, Jessie Rublee, Michelle Freeman, Rebecca Razul, Sarah Tremaine, Sam Ashkani, Nicole Pisaniello, and Tom Toscano. Food and craft beer will be available throughout the weekend.

Still, Bryant says tickets aren’t what drives the nonprofit IX Art Park Foundation, as

X Art Park attracted about 356,000 visitors in 2021. But only 16,000 of them bought tickets to an event or The Looking Glass, the park’s immersive art experience.

Now, with free events stacked nearly backto-back throughout the summer, IX will host its biggest ticketed happening of the year.

The first Charlottesville Arts Festival, which administrators hope will build on last year’s inaugural Metamorphix Art Festival, kicks off on Friday, May 27, and runs through the weekend.

“We were thinking about it, and Metamorphix is kind of an IXian brand,” says Alex Bryant, the park’s executive director.

“This festival is for Charlottesville and about Charlottesville. It’s a bigger thing—and more sustainable.”

Bryant and IX events planner Ewa Harr hope the more expansive festival, which will host nearly 60 artists from central Virginia and beyond, becomes a yearly signature for the park. They’re billing CAF as “a three-day celebration of creativity, diversity, and community providing locals and visitors a chance to immerse themselves in arts of all genres.” That means in addition to the five dozen art vendors featuring paintings, drawings, photography, sculptures, ceramics, jewelry, glass, fiber arts, and tattoo designs, the festival also invites attendees to experience and make art in unique ways.

Charlottesville Arts Festival opens with fire dancing and the unveiling of its portion of the Mural Mosaic Global Roots project.

The America Connects National Mural features contributions by more than 1,500 artists across the country. Mural Mosaic, which has been creating public murals since 2003, launched the collaborative project in April 2021 to reconnect folks in the post-pandemic world.

“We’re just really excited about three days of art and activation,” Bryant says. “It’s everything you would expect from an art festival…and it’s also a mural launch. It compounds itself, and everything coalesces in a great way.”

To select the expansive list of artists at the festival, Harr, Bryant and others from the IX Art Park Foundation board formed a panel to sift through applications. The “judging process was terribly challenging due to the high caliber of work from all of our applicants,” Bryant says, and the panel was unable to allow everyone who applied to exhibit.

Harr, who also coordinates the Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival, was central to the selection effort, Bryant says, as she’s personally connected to many of the region’s artists. The

Let’s all Thai together We’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who’s been as innovative as Chimm Thai Restaurant co-owner Jay Pun in finding ways to serve people during the ongoing pandemic.

While Chimm St. at Dairy Market remains open, Chimm’s 5th Street Station location is still closed for indoor dining, relying on takeout, delivery, patio seating, and catering to keep customers happy.

Now, Pun says, his team has added a fooddrop program, as well as a stand at IX Art Park’s Thursday night farmers’ market. “It’s basically me and my dad doing neighborhood food drops and catering, since staffing is so hard for everyone these days,” says Pun. The Chimm drop offers a variety of options from easy-to-reheat dishes to pre-portioned meal kits. Want to learn the basics of Thai street food? Chimm will deconstruct everything from drunken noodles to pho, and deliver it with instructions included.

The owners of Chimm also support Asian communities through their business. Inspired by NYC’s Heart of Dinner organization, which seeks to fight food insecurity in Asian communities, and in remembrance of last year’s horrific Atlanta spa shootings, Chimm offers the chance to donate meals to local Asian families. Meal donations include free delivery, a complimentary dessert, and a personalized card. To participate in the food-drop or meal donation programs, visit chimmtaste.com to place an order, or email chimmtaste@gmail.com

Deer goggles In March, Devils Backbone Brewing Company released Buck Tradition, its newest IPA lineup. As part of the celebration, DB partnered with tattoo artist and TikTok star Jake Karamol to create a series of designs, and threw out a challenge to customers that asks: Are you committed enough to permanently rep the buck? Any brave soul who gets a tattoo of one of the designs will receive a year’s supply of free beer, along with a sick tat. Find out more on Instagram at #bucktraditiontattoochallenge

Tabled for now In March of 2020, the Local Food Hub saw that farmers were having trouble connecting with their customers due to pandemic supply chain disruptions. In addition, Charlottesville residents had reservations about going into grocery stores. So as part of its mission to increase equitable access to fresh food from independent farmers, LFH began hosting a contactless Drive-Through Market, and the temporary solution grew into a years-long project with over 150 successful events. Now that pandemic restrictions have waned and traditional farmers’ markets have reopened, Local Food Hub has suspended

Up next If you are reading this in Charlottesville, welcome to the next great food city! Food & Wine magazine included C’ville on a list of 11 American cities with up-and-coming food and drink scenes, along with Cincinnati, Ohio, and Boise, Idaho, among others.

“Charlottesville has emerged as a vibrant dining destination,” writes Katie Chang, calling out Dairy Market (and Angelic’s Kitchen and South and Central), saying the food hall brings “together some of the area’s brightest talent.” The article also gives a shout-out to The Wool Factory, In Vino Veritas, MarieBette, Conmole, and Luce.

Keep ’em full We’re not just about fancy dining either. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank reported that its March collections added up to the most donations in its 11-year history. The BRAFB School Food Drive brought in 11,000 pounds of food from 22 schools, over 18 days. “The opportunity for the schools, family, students, parents to come together has really been spectacular,” says Albemarle High School senior Kat Ravichandran, who helped lead the effort.

The extra food has been sorely needed: According to BRAFB CEO Michael McKee, the number of food insecure families in the Blue Ridge area has increased more than 50 percent since 2000, and the food bank is now serving about 110,000 people every month.

One of the most popular videos produced by AARP is called “What is Old?” A group of millennials are asked to say what age they consider to be “old” and to show what “old” looks like to them. Most say 40s, 50s, and 60s and then pretended to hobble across the street using a cane and write a text message on their phones using one finger while squinting at the screen.

Then each millennial is paired with an older person and something changes. A 55-year-old does a perfect yoga balance on a small block, something one millennial can’t do.

A 70-year-old does karate moves with his younger partner. They teach each other dance moves, balancing exercises. The result?

The millennials quickly change their minds about what they thought “old” was. “Old, now, to me is, like, 100,” says one millennial.

What’s striking about the video is how intimate the connection becomes between the two generations. Most are holding hands, embracing, or smiling brightly as they describe their experience. The experiment reveals how energized both the millennials and older people were by the experience. It’s a fun video.

However, the experiment also reveals how strong the false perceptions and societal walls are between generations, something that can damage the fabric of society.

As the American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead said, “Connections between generations are essential for the mental health and stability of a nation.”

Indeed, during a pandemic in which younger and older people had to isolate from each other for health reasons, addressing this disconnectedness is more important than ever. While we know that loneliness and isolation are health risks for older people, a situation that has been exacerbated by the pandemic, younger generations are suffering from loneliness and isolation as well. While Gen Z and Millennials are more “plugged on” than ever in this age of social media, research shows they are also two of the most lonely generations.

“While the digital world is seen as a social space, you usually don’t get the deeper connections that humans need (and get) from real life,” psychologist Nancy Sokarno told Refinery29. “Ironically, these platforms that are designed to bring people closer together, can in turn, contribute to and heighten feelings of loneliness and fear of personal failure — all of which im-

pact negatively on our mental health.”

“We seem to understand the value of having diverse relationships and connections with people of different socioeconomic, faith, racial or other backgrounds. The same is true for engaging with a wide variety of ages,” said Peter Thompson, executive director of The Senior Center.

“A community is made up of all ages, and the strength of the community depends on all generations,” said Marta Keane, CEO of the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA).

While the causes of loneliness and isolation can be complex, and are different for everyone, societal perceptions that isolate generations from each other, especially during this time, need to change.

Now more than ever young people and older people need each other’s support. So what can you do?

Much can be done simply by making micro-gestures in our daily lives as we emerge from the pandemic. Why not think about striking up a conversation with a person of a different generation who you see in the grocery store, at a coffee shop, at a Little League game, or walking in your neighborhood?

Make the connection. You never know what kind of cool stuff you might learn. Volunteering is also one of the greatest ways to engage across the generations. Visual and performing arts groups also have roles to play in bringing generations together. Game groups, like chess clubs, and some recreation groups, like golf, bowling, or walking and hiking, are available for all ages.

“Generations have so much to learn from one another,” says Keane. “The seniors have wisdom and experience to share. They can provide guidance and encouragement, and demonstrate the joy of life. Younger generations have ideas without assumptions/biases and can be open to new ideas. They might stretch what is in one’s comfort zone.”

By Rob Brezsny

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Wilma Mankiller was the first female principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. She said, “The cow runs away from the storm, while the buffalo charges directly toward it—and gets through it quicker.”

Political strategist Donna Brazile expounded on Mankiller’s strategy: “Whenever I’m confronted with a tough challenge, I do not prolong the torment. I become the buffalo.”

I recommend Mankiller’s and Brazile’s approach for you and me in the coming days, my fellow Cancerian. Now please excuse me as I race in the direction of the squall I see brewing in the distance.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The New Yorker is an influential Pulitzer Prize-winning magazine that features witty writing and impeccable fact-checking. In 2017, its stories exposed the extensive sexual misconduct committed by movie mogul Harvey Weinstein—and helped lead to his prosecution. How did the magazine get its start? It was co-founded in 1925 by Harold Ross, who had dropped out of school at age 13. He edited every issue for the next 26 years. I’m sensing the possibility of a comparable development in your life, Leo. In the coming months, you may get involved in a project that seems to be beyond the reach of your official capacities or formal credentials. I urge you to proceed as if you can and will succeed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo-born Jocko Willink is a retired naval officer and author. In his book Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual, he lays down his manifesto: “Become the discipline—embrace its cold and relentless power. And it will make you better and stronger and smarter and faster and healthier than anything else. And most important: It will make you free.” While I don’t expect you to embrace Willink’s rigorous ethic with the same fanatical grip, I think you will benefit from doing the best you can. The cosmic rhythms will support you if you make a fun and earnest effort to cultivate liberation through discipline.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “Reality is not simply there; it does not simply exist,” claimed author Paul Celan. “It must be sought out and won.” I think that is excellent advice for you right now. But what does it mean in practical terms? How can you seek out and win reality? My first suggestion is to put your personal stamp on every situation you encounter. Do something subtle or strong to make each event serve your specific interests and goals. My second suggestion is to discern the illusions that other people are projecting and avoid buying into those misunderstandings. My third suggestion is to act as if it’s always possible to make life richer, more vivid, and more meaningful. And then figure out how to do that.

lighthouse than the sea in the coming days.

Lately, you have thoroughly embodied the sea, and that has prepared you well to provide illumination. You have learned new secrets about the tides and the waves. You are attuned to the rhythms of the undercurrents. So I hope you will now embrace your role as a beacon, Libra. I expect that people will look to your radiance to guide and inspire them.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Movie people are possessed by demons, but a very low form of demons,” observes author Edna O’Brien. She should know. She has hung out with many big film stars. Since you’re probably not in the movie business yourself, your demons may be much higher quality than those of celebrity actors and directors. And I’m guessing that in the coming weeks, your demons will become even finer and more interesting than ever before—even to the point that they could become helpers and advisors. For the best results, treat them with respect and be willing to listen to their ideas.

Sagittarius

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Some nights you are the lighthouse, some nights the sea,” writes Libran author Ocean Vuong. According to my astrological analysis, you are better suited to be the

(Dec. 22-Jan.19): According to author Caroline Myss, “You should see everything about

Capricorn

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An Aquarian poet was disturbed when a suitor told her, “I’m really very fond of you.” She responded, “I don’t like fond. It sounds like something you would tell a dog. Give me love, or nothing.

Throw your fond in a pond.” I don’t advise you to adopt a similar attitude anytime soon, Aquarius. In my oracular opinion, you should wholeheartedly welcome fondness.

You should honor it and celebrate it. In itself, it is a rich, complex attitude. And it may also lead, if you welcome it, to even more complex and profound interweavings.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): “I need a playlist of all the songs I used to love but forgot about,” wrote Tumblr blogger Yuyuuyuyuu. I think you could use such a playlist, too, Pisces. In fact, I would love to see you receive a host of memos that remind you of all the things you love and need and are interested in—but have

forgotten about or neglected. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to recover what has been lost. I hope you will re-establish connections and restore past glories that deserve to accompany you into the future.

Aries (March 21-April 19): “The only way to the truth is through blasphemy,” declared Aries author Flannery O’Connor. I appreciate the cheeky sentiment, but I don’t believe that all truth requires blasphemy. In many cases, rebellion, irreverence, and skepticism may be enough to pry loose hidden and buried information. Outright blasphemy isn’t necessary. What does this have to do with you?

Well, I’m hoping you will be feisty and audacious in your quest for interesting truths.

As you dig, I invite you to be less than perfectly polite. Don’t be rude or unkind, of course. Just be charmingly bold.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): I like Joan Didion’s definitions of self-respect. As you enter a favorable phase for deepening and enhancing your self-respect, they may be helpful. Didion said self-respect is a “sense of one’s intrinsic worth.” She added, “People who respect themselves are willing to accept the risk that the venture will go bankrupt, that the liaison may not turn out to be one in which every day is a holiday. They are willing to invest something of themselves.” And maybe the most essential thing about self-respect, according to Didion, is that it is “a discipline, a habit of mind that can never be faked but can be developed, trained, coaxed forth.”

Libra

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m all in favor of you getting what you yearn for. I have no inhibitions or caveats as I urge you to unleash all your ingenuity and hard work in quest of your beautiful goals. And in the hope of inspiring you to upgrade your ability to fulfill these sacred prospects, I offer you a tip from Sagittarian author Martha Beck. She wrote, “To attract something that you want, become as joyful as you think that thing would make you.”

your life as a lesson.” Whoa! Really? Each trip to the grocery store should be a learning opportunity? Myss says yes! For example, let’s say you’re in the snack foods aisle and you’re tempted to put Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips and Lay’s Barbecue Potato Chips in your cart. But your gut is screaming at you, “That stuff isn’t healthy for you!” And yet you decide to ignore your gut’s advice.

You buy and eat both bags. Myss would say you have squandered a learning opportunity: “You’ve harmed yourself by blocking your intuitive voice,” she writes. Now, in accordance with astrological omens, Capricorn, here’s your homework assignment: Regard every upcoming event as a chance to learn how to trust your intuition better.

Let’s look first at the Big Momma of farmers markets around here, Charlottesville’s oldest open air market, the one voted #1 Farmers Market in Virginia

by American Farmland Trust’s Farmers Market Celebration and Virginia Living.

Saturday mornings from April through November the Charlottesville City Market, at the corner of Water Street and 2nd Street SE, is the de facto town square, where you’ll meet anybody or everybody—usually with coffee, street food, or stroller in hand—socializing, perusing,

Farmers Markets: Great Goods, Great People

BY KEN WILSON

“F

eel good about what you buy! Feel good while you feast!”

The folks at Market Central in Charlottesville are on a mission to support local farms, farmers markets, and entrepreneurs and connect them to the local community. And if feeling good and tasting great aren’t incen-

tive enough, let them be more specific.

Our local markets, they’ll tell you— and we have a bunch—don’t just offer fresh and locally grown food. They also support farmers who engage in environmentally responsible practices, sustaining their land for future generations and staving off rural development.

They help drive the economy, incubat-

ing new businesses—food trucks!—and creating jobs. They provide venues for local artisans to sell their creative wares.

And last (but hardly least) they are intergenerational gathering places where we can enjoy the cultural diversity with which Charlottesville and Albemarle County are blessed.

inspecting, and deliberating between, say, Albemarle, Nelson, or Fluvanna County salad greens.

It’s a combo of fruits of the earth/creative labors of the hand scene, with crafts like soap and jewelry for sale alongside fruit and produce, herbs and plants, meat and cheese, and prepared foods. Breakfast browsers can enjoy fresh artisan breads, apple cider doughnuts, organic bagels, and other culturally diverse treats that are made on location and line the Water Street side.

Lesly Gourdet began selling his LG’s Elixir here in May of 2018. It’s “a concoction—aka a tonic,” he is proud to say, that he has worked on “closing in on three decades.” Gourdet’s dedication is impressive—and he comes by it naturally.

Born and raised in Haiti, he learned from his adored great-grandmother, who could make a medicine cabinet from the world of nature outside her door. “When any of the children’s health was compromised,” he remembers, “she would treat them with her special homemade potion of carefully picked herbs, spices and a host of various leaves.”

Crafted with ten organic or naturally grown ingredients (turmeric, garlic, ginger, onion, lemon, lime, black pepper, habanero, apple cider vinegar, agave), Gourdet’s own “One Shot at a Time Makes One Feel Sublime” elixir is cold-pressed with no added water or preservatives. That makes it, he avers, “quite powerful and potent. Hence one to two ounces is the daily recommended dosage.”

While the eight-ounce bottle is the most popular with first time buyers, lately many of his customers have stepped up to the 32-ounce size.

But Gourdet doesn’t just come to sell.

“I have been patronizing farmers markets for a bit over thirty years in Charlottesville,” he says, “and literally and traditionally my entire life! I do about 90 percent of my shopping from farmers markets.”

The depth and variety of talent of the artisans he finds there (as well as at our

In nearby Forest Lakes South in Charlottesville, local farmers, artisans, and prepared food vendors set up shop every Tuesday from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., late April through October, in the community pool parking lot at 1650 Ashwood Boulevard.

Besides fresh produce, baked goods, plants, and crafts, shoppers can feast their eyes and tease their tastebuds while choosing from three different food trucks. One week there may be Mexican tacos, Filipino chicken and pork belly barbeque and cheesy raclette to bring home for dinner; the next there might be fajitas, made from scratch buttermilk biscuits, and handcrafted chocolates. Forest Lakes Farmers Market is pet friendly, and will be open this year through October 11.

resource in today’s emerging and rapidly expanding cannabis industry.

“We have been vending at IX Park since late 2019. It was one of the first places to offer local support. We deeply value our partnership with IX and Market Central and their ever-supportive and innovative staff, with its openness to grow and support the community in a variety of ways.

IX truly strives to bring a comprehensive, locally supported and curated market for our community, in our humble opinion.”

Among the organic Virginia grown hemp articles, her company offers sublingual tinctures, bath oils, supportive pet care items, and edible cannabis treats like gummies and honey. “We often develop new products in partnership with other farm to table small businesses such as Philosopher’s Tea (local lavender) and Hungry Hill (local honey),” Kuhn says.

Her customers range in age from 20 to 80-somethings.

So what do Kuhn and her husband Joe like to bring home from other vendors?

“What don’t we enjoy purchasing?” she laughs.

“We are weak in the knees for everything from fresh salmon, locally made jewelry, gluten free (and regular) breads, pastries, orchids, woven bags, produce, freshly made foods, locally blown glass, farm raised duck, beef, local eggs, cut flowers, elixirs and tonics, coffee, sake, pies [and] locally made Bloody Mary mix.”

While she sells her own products at IX, Leigh and Joe also patronize other local markets including Charlottesville City Market and those in Crozet, Greene and Nelson counties. “We feel that to be a true community business, reciprocity and collaboration are a vital fabric that lift our local commerce,” she says. And

she means it. “We also want to encourage room for other fellow CBD vendors to sell there as well, and continue to build the collaborative spirit we value.”

The Farmers Market at Ix Art Park is open from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at 522 2nd St. SE. A weekday edition launched on Thursday, May 5 and will run throughout the summer.

Sponsored by Market Central and IX Art Park, the Sunset Market At Ix Art Park runs Thursday evenings from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., with farm produce, prepared food, and artisanal crafts, all by local small businesses. A list of participating vendors is posted weekly on the Market Central website and Facebook page.

Farmers in the Park Every vendor is a local at Farmers in the Park, held Wednesdays from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. on the corner of Chesapeake and Meade Avenue. Smaller in size (but not charm) than its bustling Saturday counterparts, Farmers in the Park offers a wide selection of farm fresh vegetables, fruit, baked goods, plants, and a whole lot more. It’s open annually from May to September.

Albemarle Farmers Market From farm to market, from dirt to gravel—Albemarle Farmers Market takes place each Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in a gravel lot across from Starbucks in the Hollymead Town Center Shopping Center. Local vendors have everything from produce, eggs, meats, and seafood, to honey, jams, pickles, and salsa. Others offer garden plants, fresh cut flowers, soaps, lotions, other personal and home products, plus a large variety

Area farmers and artisans get together once a week in the parking lot at Buck Mountain Episcopal Church for the Earlysville Farmers Market. Meat, eggs and cheese, bread and baked goods, and fruits and vegetables are for sale, along with much more to whet the appetite and liven up the table—spices, jellies, pickles, relish, and the like, as well as soap and local craft items. The Earlysville Farmers Market is currently open each Thursday from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Crozet Farmers Market The Crozet Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, May through mid-October. Head for the grassy field behind the Blue Goose Building on the corner of Jarmans Gap Rd. and Crozet Avenue for vegetables and vegetable starts, baked goods, honey, and maple syrup, plus bedding plants, cut flowers, jewelry, lotion, woodcrafts and pottery. Vendors here returned $1,000 to the community in 2021 with a donation to the Crozet United Methodist Church (CUMC) Food Pantry.

One popular feature at the Crozet Market is the Horticulture Help Desk, staffed every second and fourth Saturday by volunteer Piedmont Master Gardeners who answer questions about plants, plant disease, pest control, and safe and environmentally responsible horticultural practices. Visitors can bring samples of pests or problem plants. For help answering questions, HHD volunteers access Virginia Cooperative Extension.

It’s Market Time The crops are in the ground, the weather is fine, the pantry wants filling, and a lot of folks are going to market.

Let’s give one of our local creators the last word on just how fortunate we are around here.

“We deeply value the kinship and camaraderie that exist amongst fellow vendors,” says Leigh Anne Kuhn “There is a respect and community that one could never put a price on, nor truly articulate the value of. The market community, atmosphere, and connections are part of the ties that keep us bound with the Charlottesville love we hold so dear.”

Many Saturday morning shoppers (and vendors including LG’S Elixir) like to hit both City Market and (just a few blocks away) the Farmers Market at IX Art Park. As a site celebrated for its come what may, let it all hang out creativity, IX is about where you’d expect to find a booth belonging to a cutting-edge outfit like Albemarle Cannabis Company.

In the words of owner and COO Leigh Anne Kuhn, ACC is a “woman-owned, family-operated business trying to grow, and provide a local, trusted cannabis

arts, crafts, and music festivals) are “truly extraordinary,” Gourdet says. “So that translates to shopping for gifts for family and friends. C’est la Vie!” Jeweler Robin Braun has been selling at Charlottesville City Market since 2008, and she could hardly be more enthusiastic. It’s a market, she says, with a group of vendors “who care very much about every detail of what they are doing and selling.

“Because we are a producer-only market, the person selling the item is often the person who made it, so they are the most knowledgeable about the item being sold. This is critical to the market functioning properly.” And her customers?

“My customers could not be nicer,” Braun answers. “Over and over, I am struck by that fact.”

Another market pleasure Braun looks forward to is the food, like tofu dumplings from Got Dumplings, and “the very thoughtfully produced and delicious products”—cookies and shortbread—for example, from Althea Bread.

“I purchase all of my gifts at the Market, as well as most of my produce, some readymade food, and kombucha from Mountain Culture Kombucha.”

“The vendors are so grateful to the community for supporting us! I am so lucky to earn my living this way, and I could not do it without the excellent— and I do mean excellent—folks who run the market, as well as our wonderful customers.”

All in all over 100 vendors come together for Charlottesville City Market, nine months of the year: 8:00 a.m. till 12 noon from April through September, and 8:00 a.m. till 1:00 p.m. from October through December. Like all our local markets, Charlottesville City Market is family friendly. Young kids, and dogs on leashes, are welcome—cats too if they can stand it!
