For those of you who braved the rain, you’ll know we had a pretty cool event on Earth Day, here in NoDa.

We kicked off the weekly Backyard Farmers market stand (Saturdays from 10am – 4pm between Beagles and Delis on N. Davidson Street) as well as formally introduced Backyard Produce (type in discount code FREEDOM10 for $10 off your first weekly order) delivered, as they say, from our backyard to your front door. Fabulous service.

This is what a weekly $25 order looks like (that you pick out yourself online and is delivered to your door – soon completely greenly).

The service offers local AND organic, as well as other products (meat, cheese, free range, etc.) We are working with Back Yard Produce to become their statewide transportation and green delivery arm, starting here in Charlotte.

It’s the only company of its kind in the country, and we are looking forward to an exciting collaboration on several fronts (more surprises coming, we promise).

After the market (which made the local news despite the rain delays), we distributed extra leftovers to the neighbors.
