Hello Everyone,

My Yale colleague Colleen Colbert owns Bladen Valley Farm and has plenty of eggs available for those interested in fresh, local foods. I buy from her, and they are delicious. Colleen charges $3 a dozen. If you are interested, please contact her directly at: bvfwoodbridge@yahoo.com. If you like to buy your eggs in bulk, she can deliver 6- 8 dozen eggs at a time.

All the best,

Chandra Roxanne

As an outsider, and volunteer participant in the 2012 Riverfest I can only report excitement at the direction of this initiative. In a time when individuals and families seem to be drawing inward in fear of constant social unrest, here is a group of neighbors actively engaged in community building, both physical and social. The results are evident. This is real community revitalization, as opposed to expensive, top down,  politically mandated reform.This can do nothing but improve the New…
