We’re trying something new on the online market! Starting this week (should be up and running by tomorrow), be sure to click the “Auction Items” button (it’s the first option under “Categories” on the market page). We’ll be auctioning off an item handcrafted by one of our market artisans each month! You can find more details on the item listing. All proceeds will go towards funding the Independence Farmers Market.

Upcoming Events:

This Friday, June 2nd, is the Rooted in Appalachia Roadshow.

The First Friday Film Series, hosted by Grayson LandCare & The Church of the Good Shepherd brings documentary films to the public, complete with popcorn and panel discussions afterwards.

Also on Friday, June 2nd, Grayson Landcare will be screening A Will for the Woods.

With poignancy and unexpected humor, A Will for the Woods portrays the last days of a multifaceted advocate – and one community’s role in the genesis of a revolutionary movement. As the film follows Clark’s dream of leaving a legacy in harmony with timeless cycles, environmentalism takes on a profound intimacy.

First Fridays at 7:00 pm, April through August at The Church of the Good Shepherd: 9441 Grayson Pkwy, Galax.

The Center for Diversity and Common Ground will be holding a large yard sale this Saturday, June 3rd at 101 E. Stuart Drive in Galax. The yard sale will run from 7:30 am- until. All proceeds will go to The Center for Diversity and Common Ground.
