Best Organic Produce - Farmers Market in Miami area
I'm from Northern California and live in Miami now. I've been a little grossed out with the produce at Wild Oats, Whole Foods, Homestead farmer Coops and even Epicure - so I did some research and found a fabulous outdoor organic produce market!
Sunday's only. Best to get there at opening time 9am but is open all day.
Beside the most amazing selections of exotic and unusual fruits and vegetables (yellow watermelon, mamey, watermelon radish) there is an amazing variety of mushrooms, many varieties of fresh picked lettuce, AMAZING and I mean the most AMAZING heirloom tomatoes you've ever seen and are to die for - really.
It's called Josh's Organic Garden. They are located at the end of Hollywood Boulevard at the beach on the boardwalk on the SE corner of the big hotel there. You are on the ocean and it's basically on the boardwalk. Can't miss it. It is SO worth the time to find it. There is EVERYTHING you need and it's the freshest and most beautiful produce you will find in ALL of Forida.
An excellent Thai restaurant a building south of the market. Try it if you go later in the day.
Yes, Josh's is solid. The Thai place is called SushiThai on the Beach and it is so so but it is right on the beach
re: Sobe
I just realized that i didn't link the article regarding Josh's. Here it is. http://www.rawfoods.com/articles/holl...
How does it compare with Glaser Farm's Farmers Market? Or the one in Pinecrest? I haven't been to either. Is there nothing comparable in Miami-Dade?
re: mialebven
re: mialebven
The Glaser Farm's one blows unless you buy prepared foods. It's basically an outdoor Wild Oats. Most of the produce is not local and they don't even bother taking them out of the boxes they're from. I'm sure some stuff is local, but it's difficult to tell. I just find it hilarious seeing all these Groveites walking around and buying produce out of boxes at prices at or above the Fresh Market down the street.
The Pinecrest market is a little better. They actually have local produce and, in answer to Mega's question, I believe the people that put on the CSA for Miami have a booth there. There's is the most expensive, but most unique stuff.
re: lax2mia
What you have to understand is that this is not the season yet. Glaser farms has organic whatever-is-in-season. If you go to a farmer's market expecting nothing but local produce, I'm afraid you have to wait until the season, which for the most part, starts later this winter. Right now you're gonna get a LOT of mangos. And would you feel better if they changed the boxes? Should they pretend the apples are grown nearby? I find it is a more pleasant experience to shop at an outdoor market, but you have to be realistic at this time of year. And the CSA doesn't even start delivering until January, although you can join now.
re: Miami Danny
re: mialebven
The OP mentioned mushrooms, which can be grown year-round. Lettuce is by and large a winter crop, so I'm not sure when MIAfronSFO visited the market. Although the poster raved about 'exotics', yellow watermelon and mameys are not really that exotic if you live here-I bought a mamey yesterday at Publix, and I've actually bought some yellow watermelon at the Coconut Grove Farmer's Market as well. I was there yesterday, and they had over 100 organic items, not just fruits and vegetables, but many other items, including beans, lentils, grains of all kinds, organic dried fruits, nuts, etc. Mr. Glaser is an actual organic farmer, but, obviously, the oranges and grapes, etc., are not 'local'. There aren't a lot of grapes or apples grown here. But everything looked and smelled really fresh, despite being shipped here from wherever, and it is a great experience.
re: Miami Danny
re: taiga
No one buys organics for the price? Perhaps if money is no object! Anyway, the RedlandOrganics CSA has a waiting list as of today. Traditionally people change their minds, so if you're interested, go to their website and sign up. No one buys organics for the price? Then why are so many people in this thread and elsewhere complaining about prices? And by movement, I guess you mean The Whole Foods Corporation?
re: Miami Danny
If price were the object, you wouldn't buy organic food. Instead you would go to Winn DIxie. People complain about the prices because money is tight. Whole Foods runs against the CSA movement, which, if you want to support local organic food, you must bite the bullet and cut corners elsewhere. However, if it is simply organic food one is after, Wild Oats and Whole Foods attempt to corner the market and have some good stuff. If the price overwhelms the cause, there will no longer be RedlandOrganics and you will have no choice at all. Therefore, I pay the premium.
re: chow003
We actually went yesterday and had a great time. He has great stuff, but of course not everything is local, it can't be....But it is good stuff at good prices compared to what you can get at Whole Foods etc. We got great squash, herbs, tomatoes, lettuce, sweet peppers (no hot peppers yesterday), and had an amazing basically vegan dinner last night! Thanks for the tip.
This is the article that gave me directions:
Once you are at the boardwalk, it is easy to spot, and if it isn't you will hear Josh shouting things like "no hot peppers today" etc. ;-).
He mentioned he will be closed for the next two weeks, not a month.
Have a good one guys!
re: lorilaw
Lorilaw, here is a link to the only listing I can find. It's on the Broadwalk behind the Ramada just south of Hollywood Blvd.
i cant believe nobody has mentioned Norman Brothers. Go there. great produce, great prepared food too. 1/4 mile south of sunset drive on 87th ave (galloway)
forget the rest. go to Norman Brothers.

re: Miami Danny
re: Miami Danny
re: Frodnesor
Just having some fun. My point was it didn't come up on this thread because it's not a farmer's market, nor do they specialize in organics. . I love the Wagyu burgers, though-highly recommended. And the Wagyu steak's pretty amazing as well, if it's not priced thru the stratosphere.
re: Miami Danny
Just impressed by your discipline in adhering to topic. When you mentioned Norman's I thought "Oh, yeah, I always forget about Norman's". Then when you pointed out it is neither a farmer's market nor does it do much organic, I once again said "Oh, yeah."
What is their pricing per pound on Wagyu beef?
re: Frodnesor
Discipline is my middle name. They have the Mishima Ranch Wagyu burger patties at $10/lb (two patties) which are amazing, especially (maybe only) if you like rare beef. The sirloin was $18/lb-worth every penny. The ribeye was sky-high-I think $40-something (maybe even 60(?)/lb. Must cook this stuff high-heat, briefly. Here's more pix and info.
My husband and I go to Josh's every Sunday morning; the market is open from 8:30am to 5:30pm. We like to get there early, before things get picked over. The selection is amazing, and of course continually changes throughout the year. Josh is very helpful; he'll be happy to tell you what the 'best buys' are as far as what it is in season. We've bought vegetables that will stay fresh for 2 weeks in the fridge! We live nearby, but I'd drive 60 minutes to get my fruits and veggies here.
re: sfchow
Here's my assessment--I live near downtown Miami and I've shopped at Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Glaser in the Grove, and Josh's. While I used to go to Glaser every week, it's been Josh's for years (since he had just 4-5 tables) Of the two markets, Glaser has WAY more variety (esp. in spices, dried foods, unique fruits, fermented foods, salad dressings, etc), but the prices are higher (like Whole Foods/Wild Oats) and most produce comes from California. Josh's is cheaper and fresher (a substantial amount comes from Florida), but it is just produce and juice. My father owned a produce company for 25 years (and I worked with him occasionally): Josh's is the freshest produce I've ever seen.
When you start to buy organic it is easy to get shell shocked by the prices because you are used to the deceptive packaging at the grocery store and organic places price things by the pound. Example: Publix's fresh spices: $32 per pound.
re: miagreek
re: madtheswine
re: yomyb
re: Frodnesor
Funny-I was there the other day and they had some 'cactus' pears. They looked so interesting I picked one up and started examining it and then proceeded to get about ten painful mini-needles stuck in my hand...exotic, indeed. Other than that, there weren't really any items I'd go out of my way for-they call themselves a 'farmer's market', but that's really in name only. And the place is looking a bit ragged. Cannolis still rock, though.
re: miagreek
I agree -- it's easy to get shocked by the prices. But as I wrote before, if it is price one is after, organics would not be an issue. When we buy organics, it is not for ourselves, but for a movement. It's a sacrifice we make for the land, the small farmers (though Publix, Horizon, and Whole Foods bastardize this), and a future without GMO's, pesticides, and hormones.
re: miagreek
I was at Josh's this past Sunday and I really loved it. Got some fresh organic rosemary. The only local produce as far as I could tell was lettuce. His produce was from Canada, Pennsylvania, and I think I saw some California boxes (L2M?) too. Fresh from Cali, or Canada is still traveling a long way to get here. Additionally, some of these growers are not small farmers at all. And, again, this is not a farmer's market, but he is merely acting as a retailer for wholesale products-although there's nothing wrong with that. As I've said before, the season hasn't started here yet. Be patient. And could you please explain "Publix fresh spices: $32 per pound'? I'm not sure what you mean.
Critical Miami brought up another farmer's market I haven't seen mentioned down in this thread. And for the first time, the location of this farmer's market actually makes some sense! It's where? Down in Homestead.
244th St and US 1. Has anyone been?
re: mialebven
I know there's not a lot of 'organic' produce here, but Chef Dewey LoSasso of North One10 will be heading down to the Redlands to grab some fresh produce, and promoting it at the Upper East Side Greenmarket on Saturday, from 9AM-3PM. He's also making Virgin Dewey's ( see www.dailycocaine.blogspot.com for a photo of the bottle) and will be offering espresso, key lime creme brulee, Indonesian chicken salad, and some other stuff. Chef Sandra Stefani of Casa Toscana will have artisan breads, and other Italian products, Chef Michael Schwartz of Michael's Genuine was shopping here last week, and Michelle Bernstein of Michy's has been spotted shopping here both Saturdays the market has been open. I think tomorrow will see a lot more chefs shopping here, and maybe some more vendors, as well.
re: Miami Danny
re: Miami Danny
re: taiga
I think a number of local chefs are now procuring produce from the Redlands - obviously not nearly as many are taking such responsibility to promote it as what Dewey's doing. Good stuff.
Took a look at his online menu recently and saw that some dishes included "Miami Shores Mangos" - how's that for going local?
re: Miami Danny
Visited the Upper East Side Greenmarket today and was glad I did. Given the typical experience at Miami "farmers" markets I had low expectations, and they were exceeded by quite a bit.
Dewey LoSasso (from North One 10) was indeed out and had dragged along an exotic fruit farmer from the Redlands, and brought some thai guava, pomelos, some sweet little finger bananas, and a some other exotic tropical fruits. Dewey had made some "Virign Deweys" and a few other items and had some home-made hot sauce for sale. There were at least 3-4 other fruit and vegetable stands, a couple of which had some nice locally grown produce - we got some delicious red navel oranges (5 / $1.00) and ruby red grapefruit, there were also some nice-looking Immokalee beefsteak tomatoes, some zucchini, peppers, one guy had some farm-fresh eggs. Another vendor had some produce which I suspect was not locally grown but was organic, other had brought in some boxed fruit and veg which at least looked pretty nice quality. There was a honey producer who had several varieties of local honeys including orange blossom, wildflower and palmetto.
Grabbed some Colombian baked goods - a nice arepa con carne, and a cheesy bread thing - then regretted not saving some room for the Argentinian empanadas.
Saw the $8/lb stone crab guy, they looked and smelled good but I'm just not that brave.
This was my first visit, but it sounds like market is improving every week. Certainly better than my experiences at several others. Another great addition to the Biscayne Corridor (MD - is this the "surprisingly hip restaurant row" or is it 79th Street? I get confused.)
re: Frodnesor
Great report, Sir Frodesnor. Patience, as they say, is a virtue, and I believe they will keep improving every week. I had a nice, long, conversation with the organizer, Claire Tomlin,and she is confident that the market will get bigger and better. She told me that she is speaking to farmers (at least one that I know personally), to get more participation. Roger Washington of Red Dragon Fruit Company (the farmer you mentioned) told me that getting up to Miami on a Saturday is very tough. In fact taking any time away from the farm is very hard.for him. So the problem is not really that the farmers don't WANT to come, they are simply too busy. They probably need to make upwards of $1000 just to make it worth their while (a figure quoted to me by several people). Vito, the fresh mozzarella guy from Apulia was pretty much sold out when I arrived at 1:15, and Casa Toscana had sold out of their artisan breads. I bought two containers of blackberries, and one of raspberries, that were perfectly ripe and ready to eat, all three for $5. The photo is below. The berries are
imported from Mexico and Chile, but you don't see them all the time, and that's pretty cheap. They tasted great, warmed by the sun. The same vendor also had cheap papayas and mangoes. Oh, and two words...Mango Mousse. I have more shots of the Virgin Dewey and his hot sauces (including guava), at www.dailycocaine.blogspot.com For you celebrity-chef watchers, Michael Schwartz was shopping there again today, and Michelle Bernstein sent her mother. And Dewey and Dale had their kids with them. Very down-home.
re: Miami Danny
Couple of questions and I apologize in advance if I the answers were previously mentioned.
When do they do the Upper East Side Greenmarket?(every sat, just sat?)
Are there food vendors involved or is this basically produce? I ask b/c I was recently in London and loved the Borough Market. Amazing place and I've never seen anything like it. (you guys mentioned some food items)
Who is this Vito guy and how do we find him outside of the market?
Off thread topic but related- Casa Toscana, thoughts?
I've never been to Dewey's restaurant, should I go?
re: The Chowfather AKA sobe
Right now it's just Saturday, 9AM-3PM, and just a ten week 'trial period', to appease the neighbors who were vocally skeptical. I think the trial period, due to the success and pretty smooth operation, may be extended. There is food. North One10 has espresso, key lime creme brulee's, Indonesian Chicken Salad, and something else I've forgotten. I don't have Vito's info at hand, but I can get it. I just met him today thru Sandra of Casa Toscana. There was an organic stand selling escargots, and wraps, and mango mousse.. One vendor sells homemade hummus and other dips and sauces (the girl who gets her produce from Immokalee). There is a cookie guy, and the Colombian and Argy vendors Frod mentioned. There's also your standard juice lady, There are croissants at Casa Toscana's booth. I think that's it. And the Virgin Deweys...
re: The Chowfather AKA sobe
Just to make clear so you (or others, really, since I suspect you already know this) don't get your hopes up too high - the Upper East Side market is nothing like Borough Market. Borough Market covers a few city blocks and must have hundreds of vendors. This is a small-scale temporary deal with maybe a dozen or so vendors who set up tents and take them down at the end of the afternoon. Otherwise I think MD's answered your other questions.
I think Casa Toscana is a nice neighborhood place with pretty good Northern Italian food and an incredibly charming hostess/chef/owner, Sandra. I've had some very yummy chicken liver crostini there, a nice ravioli w/ truffle oil that was a special one night, I didn't love the lasagna, and keep meaning to try the osso buco but have never been there with a sufficient appetitte to take it on. The wine selection is short but interesting with primarily Italian wines, and a sort of amusing way to do it - all the wines are up on shelving on the wall, and you go over, take a look and grab whatever bottle you want (prices on a little sticker on the back of the bottle). Sandra's always glad to help choose.
North One 10 is also worth a visit. Dewey was one of the original "Mango Gang" and the food I guess I'd call "New American" with a tropical twist, but with ingredients that will literally go all over the map. It's been a while since I've been and it looks like the online menu's been updated, so I don't know if I can recommend particular dishes, but the salmon croquetas (w/ "damn hot guava sauce") were good, as was the duck.
I've always been intrigued by their special event menus though I've never been. Check out the Valentine's menu and the Super Bowl brunch menus on the website ->
MD, did you happen to catch where the guy with the unlikely combination of escargot, wraps and mango mousse was from?
re: Frodnesor
re: The Chowfather AKA sobe
The guys selling the escargots had a chalkboard that said 'Be Organic'. I don't know if that's their name or just their mantra, but I can tell you that the people scarfing down that mousse looked like they were in bliss. I posted some photos, and I'll try to do it here, as well. Didn't work last time.
re: Miami Danny
re: Miami Danny
That stand is hilarious. The sign said "Be Organic" and then the menu ran down" Escargot...$X, Avocado...$X, Mango Mousse...$X". They also had wraps. It was the most patchworked menu I'd ever seen! I wish I'd gotten the mousse though, it looked very good.
I saw Michael Schwartz there and was going to ask him about my eggs and grits (see ridiculously long post on the Michael's Genuine post) but he looked like he was going to rip someone's head off. Does the guy ever smile? I think the most happy expression I've seen on him has been one of ambivalence, otherwise he just looks mad. Maybe my waiter was scared of asking for the fried egg. I understand why. Regardless he made the rounds at the Casa Toscana and North 110 booths but didn't look too interested in anything else.
And many thanks to Dewey for bringing the dragonfruit guy up from Redlands. They guy was superfriendly and kept wanting people to try his stuff. Granted it was a little expensive, but maybe with more turnover he'd be able to get his prices down. Come on people! Buy some thai guavas and sunburst tomatoes. They're awesome!
re: lax2mia
Funny-I always thought of Michael as a sunny guy! And by the way, those eggs are double-yolked, so you would have been in for a treat had you had one over your grits. And if a waiter stuck a spoon in my food, it would probably end up coming out the other side, if you get my drift. And I'm a sunny guy. too. You showed remarkable patience.
re: Miami Danny
The experience was so absurd I had to keep it going. I was waiting to see if he'd scoop the ice cream for my dessert tableside.
Michael sunny? I believe he's easily gotten the most censor bleeps ever for a guest on Top Chef.
And Mr. MD sunny? Anyone who comes up with Press Chops has gotta be more dark side of the moon than shiny happy person. But keep it up, the skewering is hilarious!
re: lax2mia
LOFL! Thank you. Speaking of Michael, He bought fifteen pounds of Vito's fresh mozzarella on Saturday, and made a killer caprese with it, including Paradise Farms' basil, heirloom tomatoes, great olive oil and fleur de sel. Buying local is getting easier, and that's good news for everybody.
re: The Chowfather AKA sobe
Whenever we go to a restaurant I really like, I get on Y's case to write something about it on Chowhound. She finally got fed up and told me to get my own darn account, so here I am.
We just got back from a nice meal at Casa Toscana on Biscayne. I really like this place. It has a cozy little dining room in the front, decorated with old black and white pictures of Italian-looking folks, and is very homey. Charming, clean, and non-pretentious. Our server was polite and personable. Water service was prompt, tasted filtered, and was kept refilled at appropriate intervals throughout the meal.
The pre-dinner bread experience is usually a good indicator of the quality of the coming meal, and tonight was no exception. We were served a few pieces of light, very fresh wheat bread, delicately crusty, with a nice nuttiness, and warmed up slightly beforehand. This is served with a cruet of herb-infused (I think rosemary and perhaps something else) olive oil. At a lot of Italian restaurants they serve you more of a dipping sauce, in which the flavors (garlic, maybe oregano, or chiles) predominate, and the base could be any old olive oil. But here, the herb only served to enhance the vegetable, grassy taste of fine oil. Such a simple thing, really, bread and oil, here done exactly right, emphasis on simplicity and quality of ingredients.
Y is well into her third trimester, and can't fit much food, so we split an appetizer of Fontina-stuffed lemon flavored risotto croquettes with citrus sauce. These were excellent - very well-planned and effortlessly executed. I still can't decide whether they were fried or baked, the crispy outside was so free of grease. Using risotto for a croquette gives a wonderful consistency and flavor, which complemented the taste of the fontina nicely. "Stuffed" may have been a slight misnomer, because the ingredients blended nicely together rather than having a distinct cheese/rice boundary, but I won't fuss too much over semantics. The lemon flavor added a nice sweetness to the croquettes, and the citrus sauce (on the side in a ramekin) had a slightly sweet taste as well, and the consistency of homemade mayonnaise. Overall: Very Good.
For our main course (we always share so as to have the opportunity to taste as many things as possible), we had the meat lasagna, and the ricotta and pear ravioli with brown butter sage and shaved parmesan. Lasagna: served in a oven dish. Meat ragu complemented well by other ingredients. Good sauce ratio. Good integrity of construction (i.e. you can cut into it with your fork and the layers don't slide apart horizontally). Going out on a limb here: ricotta, fontina, parmesan, maybe a little mozzarella (but maybe not - no stringiness, not too much to the teeth)? Not heavy or over-salted. Overall: Excellent, wouldn't hesitate to order it again. Ravioli: temperature was exactly right - not served too hot so the ricotta kept a nice consistency and the delicate flavor of the pear wasn't damaged. Purse-shaped, which was a good call because the wonderful brown butter sage sauce could be captured well in the gathered bit. While eating it, I felt as though the dish was sweet, but each bite I took was not that sweet - it was the oddest and neatest thing. Pasta had a great color - the chef must use the same eggs as Michael Schwartz uses in his double yolk, the pasta is such a great yellow - almost orange, really. Overall: Excellent, would order it again with pleasure.
The most wonderful, mysterious thing about this restaurant is that I felt that everything we ate was comprised of the highest-quality, richest ingredients, yet the chef has a trick of preparing them so one is not left feeling heavy or weighed down. Casa Toscana is my and Y's choice for Italian food in Miami.
One interesting little discovery from this weekend's Upper Eastside Green Market - the "Honey Man" has several different varieties of locally produced honeys. Aside from the usual orange blossom and wildflower, he had some more exotic items including avocado, mangrove, and palmetto. He also has all sorts of other odd honey-related products including bee pollen, royal jelly, etc., the purpose of which I don't fully understand.
We got some of the mangrove honey out of curiosity and it is indeed curious stuff. Very heartily and robustly flavored, not just overtly sweet - indeed Mrs. F said it tasted like motor oil. I thought it was really interesting though I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it. I think it might make a good pairing with an equally full-flavored goat cheese, maybe.
re: Frodnesor
Motor oil and goat cheese. Standard pairing according to Brillat-Savarin. You know I hate to be all sunny and bright, but I bought some more mozzarella from Vito at the UES Green Market (the parking's in th back btw-head west on 64th St, then make the first left toward the lot). Okay. I'm going to post a picture because it is that beautiful. He also, in addition to cannoli's, had little pastries called canestrini (ricotta and chocolate-filled), and panzerotini's (sp?) which are little half-moons filled with walnuts and something else. They were both curiously different, and delicious. Hints of amaretto or sambucca-I have photos at www.dailycocaine.blogspot.com
Senor Frod-I bought some $8/lb Stone Crab Claws. They are not the kind you get at Joe's-they're probably seconds, or whatever they're called, but they were tasty and fresh. Sixteen beauties for $16. My constant companion and I ate them all with a little mustard/mayo sauce. while cooking dinner-pasta with eggplant/tomato sauce covered in melted fresh mozzarella. The round eggplants the girl in the back sells are super-sweet, and need no pre-salting. I also picked up a half-dozen double yolk eggs. I hesitate to tell people about them because they're so freakishly good. I had an onion soup at Michael's Genuine last week topped with these very same eggs, poached. I had them for breakfast today and they were amazing. That is just TWO eggs in the pan.
re: Miami Danny
Those eggplants (did they say they were sicilian eggplants?) looked nice. Her strawberries were also pretty good (only 3 actually made it all the way home). I also saw in your most recent PressChops photo what looked like some of those nice spring onions on top of that (nearly extinct) Chilean sea bass.
I'm glad to hear you lived to tell of the stone crabs.
re: Frodnesor
We've moved a discussion of different kinds of honey to the General Chowhounding Topics board at http://www.chowhound.com/topics/486508 . Although the discussion was spurred by honey available at this local vendor, the discussion of different kinds of honey and honey products would be of interest to hounds everywhere.
re: Frodnesor
Reviving this thread just to give a short report on a visit to UES Green Market a couple weeks ago (I've missed the past couple weeks). There were a couple new faces there, incl. a BBQ guy (James?) with big beef ribs and chicken. The ribs were decent but I prefer BBQ Beach. We picked up a Florida-grown Sicilian eggplant, spring onions and fresh corn and the veg were just awesome. Used the eggplant and onions in a sort of ratatouille variant w/ thin-sliced eggplant, onions halved lengthwise, along w/ some roasted red peppers and a little sun-dried tomato, all sauteed, then layered and roasted a bit.
But the real revelation was the corn. I have heard and read how when corn is really fresh it is so sweet you can eat it raw - as it is transported and sits, the sugar convert to starch and it gets ... well, starchy instead of sweet. I shaved the corn off the cob to use in a dish and tasted some off the board, and lo and behold - it was sweet and delicious. Let the kids try some, and they loved it - kept coming back into the kitchen to sneak off with some more before I could cook it. Great stuff.
re: Frodnesor
re: taiga
Ouch! I eat a lot of raw corn, raw beets, too, as I feel that cooking them doesn't necessarily make them taste better. I was on a raw foods cleanse in January, and you'll be amazed at the taste of real food, in case it has been a while. Good for the digestive system, too, if you know what I mean. Try doing some juicing. Getting back to the market, the BBQ guy is indeed James, and he also works out of the parking lot behind Publix on Biscaune and 48th (it's actually called N. Federal Hwy.) Smokes 'em.

re: Frodnesor
re: mialebven
I believe that this coming weekend is the last for the Delray Beach market; I went two weeks ago. A couple of truly organic vendors, one bakery, a pasta company, an olive oil company, a crepe vendor, and a few selling soap, jewelry etc. It's small and still needs work, but they're excited about continuing it next fall, so hopefully it will grow.
In the meantime, I spoke to someone on the phone today and they've decided to continue the Upper Eastside Market (at Legion Park, 6447 NE 7th Ave. 305.775.2166) through the summer. Saturdays, 9AM - 3PM. I haven't been yet, but will report as soon as I go.
This is not a farmers market, but www.deliciousorganics.com is a south Florida based website, where you can order organic produce and more for delivery. They are a family bussiness that serves the east coast of south Florida. Not everything they sell is local, but everything that is local is marked as such, and you can pretty much count on finding whatever is available locally at the time.
Go to the Mexican Farmer's Market on US1 an 248th. This place is fun, tons of fresh fruits and veggies, not to mention fresh pressed juices, exotic items such as cactus, and a flea market on the weekend too. Don't be afraid to step into a whole new universe! Open on FRI, SAT,SUN only!
Hmmm ... saw a sign up at the Vagabond Hotel (73rd St. & Biscayne Blvd.) announcing there was going to be a farmers market there starting Nov. 1 Saturdays and Sundays. Also saw a sign up at Legion Park (around 65th & Biscayne) for the Upper East Side Green Market, which had a nice run this spring; website for the Market Company says they'll be resuming October 25. I can't really believe there's going to be 2 farmers markets within 10 blocks of each other - anyone have any more info, are they moving the UES Market to the Vagabond location?
re: Frodnesor
The owner of the Vagabond is trying to do something, anything, with the site. One move is to turn it into a retail area with markets (produce, fish, etc.). The guy seems to have a lot of ideas. I just wonder what'll happen as far as suppliers go. There aren't that many farms in the area to supply the "farmers markets" we have now (Gables, UES, Lincoln Rd), much less another one. We'll see.
Here's an article on his plans.
We just came from SF as well recently and unfortunately truth be told Miami cannot compete with California! Josh's is really good as well as Glaser, thats about it. Keep in touch and let me know what you find here worthwhile, taco trucks maybe? haha! not here..unfortunately!
There is an awesome farmer's market in Liberty City that started up two weeks ago. My wife affectionately calls it the 'Ghetto Farmer's Market.' Don't worry, it is a cultural experience going to this area of town and the market itself is safe.
The market is all local farmers with a large organic selection. The best thing is...it is super cheap.
They run from now until April.

Pinecrest is good. My wife affectionately calls it the 'Insensitive Upper Class Farmer's Market.' Don't worry, it is a cultural experience going to this area of town and the market itself is safe, as long as you don't do any banking transactions with these monster house people who have profited from taking advantage of others like I have.
The market is local with a reasonable organic selection. The best thing is...it is super expensive.

The Roots in the City/Wholesome Wave Farmers Market has reopened at NW 2nd Ave and 10th St. Chef Michael Schwartz is the major local supporter. Food stamps get double value and there are local vendors like Troy Gardens, (from the Troy Academy who work with at-risk youth), as well as more traditional farmers like Teena's Pride and Bee Heaven Farms.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I am also from Northern California in Lodi and I grew up on a farm with the freshest of everything. Now I am in Miami and I have no idea where to find the healthiest foods. Do you know of any farmers market in Miami-Dade or markets like Trader Joes? Thanks for sharing the info.

Some Farmer's Market history:
Does anyone know where the farmer's market from Jackson Hospital moved to while they do construction at the hospital? Also, which is the best one to get edible flowers (or best place if you know of a really good nursery or flower shop that carries more than the typical popular plants)..I'm looking for zucchini flowers, pumpkin flowers, marigolds, borage, and elder (both the berry and the flower)..Also looking for Juniper berries..
Also, what about u-pick farms? I only know of one left..I thought it was criminal when they paved over the old strawberry field out in horse country..the politicians in that area are a disgrace bending over backwards for developers. What they are doing to the ranchers is shameful at best.
re: RebeLeeous
As far as I know, they just closed Jackson during construction; it didn't move.
For edible flowers, I've seen them regularly at Josh's in Hollywood (Sundays only) and a few times at Overtown (closed for the season). You might have more luck stopping by one of the community gardens on a weekend; maybe someone will let you have/buy some of the vegetable flowers.
re: RebeLeeous
Here's a good (other than the Comic Sans font) and apparently fairly current listing of u-picks ->
re: RebeLeeous
As a bit of a side note... if you are into gardening - organic or otherwise...
This is the time to start thinking about planting in So Fla.
Of course it's way too hot for almost anything to grow NOW.
But you'll want to have plants such as tomatoes in the ground sometime around Oct 1. So if you want to garden - look for info now.
Community Garden meetings are starting up...
The time to think about veggies in FL isn't January when you see all that bounty -- but in August, when you can prepare.

Style Guides
American Indian Studies has no standard citation style. Ask your instructor which to use; if you can choose, pick the one you know best.
Writing Tools
Many terms identify American Indians...
When searching for articles and books, use different combinations of these terms to find the most sources:
- American Indian
- Native American
- Native People
- Indians of North America (the official term used in CLICnet)
- First Nations (term for the indigenous peoples of Canada)
For example, searching in Academic Search Premier, in the first box put the phrase:
"American Indian" or "Native American"
The quote marks hold the concept together (so you don't get Indian Americans instead), while using "or" will find any articles that mention "American Indian" or "Native American."
In the next boxes put your topic keywords: culture, identity, treaties, education, etc. Also consider adding locations of interest, such as Great Plains or Minnesota.
Variant Spellings
Searching by tribe is also important, especially if your topic is tribe specific. As tribes often have variant spellings or use entirely different terms, account for this in your search:
- Ojibwa or Chippewa or Anishinabe
Using an asterisk * will truncate, or stem, your keyword, including everything after it:
- Ojibw* captures Ojibway, Ojibwe, and Ojibwah
- Chippewa* captures Chippewa and Chippeway
Want more tips or need help? Ask a librarian!
- Academic Search PremierLook here for scholarly and popular articles about American Indian topics in a variety of areas: education, health, sovereignty and rights, culture and identity, and more.
- Films on DemandStream educational films on American Indian topics, from anthropology and art to examining stereotypes and identity. Search by "Native American" to find a title or film segment, or browse titles by clicking Humanities & Social Sciences and then Native American Studies under Sociology.
- No full text? Click "Find It" by the article to get it elsewhere, or to order it (learn more).
The books below are useful for starting your research, whether getting topic ideas or finding general overviews.
Web Resources
- National Atlas: Federal Lands and Indian ReservationsFind printable maps by state of reservations and federal land (fish and wildlife service, forest service, and national park service).

Recent Tours:
Italy 2013
The group experienced the great Italian cultural center of Perugia and Venice in the late fall of 2013. This was a cultural double hitter; first, for the 20th anniversary celebration of Grand Rapids' sister city relationship with Perugia, followed by the unforgettable and magical charms of Venice during the 55th Venice Biennale, one the the most important contemporary art competitions in the world.
They explored the ancient charms of Perugia, capital city of Umbria, founded by the Etruscans in the 6th century BCE. A classic hill top city densely filled with layers of magnificent architecture reflective if it's long and proud history, Perugia offered spectacular views of the surrounding Umbrian countryside, including its neighbor, Assisi. The journey included ancient tombs and medieval castles, renaissance palaces and baroque churches, and museums filled with masterpieces of Italian art. They enjoyed the local cuisine and the warmth of its people.
The next stop was north to Venice, the light, waters, and architecture of which are legendary. Included were the 55th International Art exhibit, La Biennale di Venezia! They explored the historic riches of the floating city. Her museums, churches, palaces, art and culture are unforgettable. Venice never disappoints.
The group visited some of the world's greatest intact art collections ever assembled by a single family over many centuries. Private guides led them through the museums and glittering palaces and gardens built by the Hapsburg dynasty. Time was spent lingering in historic coffee houses and enjoying cultural performances of the famed Lipizzaner horses in their white marble performance hall as well as the opera and concerts - just some of the planned highlights of their visit.
To round out the experience, an optional extension was offered to the two other cities which defined this former empire: glorious Budapest, ancient capital of the former Hungarian kingdom and magical Prague, capital of the Czech Republic and arguably one of the most beautiful urban centers in the world.
¡Hola Argentina!
October 17-31, 2009
The group explored this magnificent country's rich diversity of natural wonders and one of the most glamorous cities in the world, Buenos Aires! They discovered her charming and distinct neighborhoods, grand boulevards and parks, museums and restaurants. There were tango lessons and meetings with locals and artists in the that city which will remind you of Paris, but think Spanish! Also experienced was the distinct gaucho (cowboy) culture of South America at a 19th century still fully operational Estancia. The group flew to the magnificent Iguazu Falls, three time the scale of Niagara and set in a jungle on the boarder of Brazil! They viewed the great Andes mountains and the charming city of Mendoza set in a desert, but remarkably green. They also tasted some of Argentina's famous wines and scenery and local culture with time to explore on their own.
December 28, 2007 - January 15, 2008
Deccan Golden Triangle Extension
January 13-18, 2008

As of about 1:30 Tuesday afternoon, the score was News Editor 489, Hack Writer 0. Comments, that is.
From the Sunday Viewpoints section:
- Seeking a return to civility in online comments - Margaret Sullivan/The Buffalo News
Some editors were sitting in a news meeting one morning not long ago, bemoaning the often outrageous, intolerant and hateful online "comments" attached to stories on The News Web site, when News Business Editor Grove Potter uttered a simple but eloquent truth:
"Let's face it," he said. "We've created a class of anonymous flamethrowers."
He's right. We have. And shortly, we're about to change that dramatically.
- It's time for news sites to stop allowing anonymous online comments - Rem Rieder/American Journalism Review
Comments sections are often packed with profanity and vicious personal attacks. The opportunity to launch brutal assaults from the safety of a computer without attaching a name does wonders for the bravery levels of the angry.
- The anonymous back-stabbing of Internet message boards - Leonard Pitts/Miami Herald/Seattle Times
It must have seemed like a great idea at the time.
- Anonymous comments part of online life - Michael Silence/The Knoxville News Sentinel
The sanctimonious, high-brow bloviating by some Ivory Tower types is getting old - like half a decade old.
On the heals of recently discovering the Internet (sarcasm intended), some are now hyperventilating about anonymous online comments.
Hello? What do you think has been happening on talk radio for, oh, decades?
- Inside the mind of the anonymous online poster - Neil Swidey/The Boston Globe
News websites from across the country struggle to maintain civility in their online comments forums. But given their anonymous nature and anything-goes ethos, these forums can sometimes feel as ungovernable as the tribal lands of Pakistan.
- Thomas should have kept her opinion to herself - George Pyle/The Buffalo News
About the only thing President Obama and I have in common — other than the fact that we were both born in the United States — is that both of us have been grilled by Helen Thomas.
It happened to me only once. It won't happen to Obama, or any other president, again. And that's sad.
Thomas, long the queen of the White House Press Room, was abruptly turned out to pasture a couple of weeks ago when she made the mistake of answering a question instead of asking one, and answering it stupidly.
- I asked Helen Thomas about Israel. Her answer revealed more than you think - David F. Nesenoff/For The Washington Post
- The Siege of Helen - James Wolcott/Vanity Fair
... now that the flash-mob tribunal has dispersed, it's worth taking a longer lensed look at how the fuse was lit and the bad faith of her journalistic jury...
- Will Beck and Limbaugh be next? - Joan Vennochi/The Boston Globe
The statements Thomas made — that the Jews of Israel should go back to Poland and Germany — were rightly denounced. Still, there was something perverse about the delight in her demise that was taken, especially by conservative commentators.
Here's the video that got Helen in so much trouble:

Lunch Today: Roast Pork at Big Wong King
You'd think good char siu, that glistening red barbecue roast pork, would be easy to find around Chinatown. And you can find it just about everywhere you look, except that most of it is pretty passable. Tough and chewy, syrupy sweet, barely charred or burnt to a crisp—they're all pitfalls down the road to good Chinese roast pork. But Big Wong King gets it pretty right.
For $5.25 you get a generous portion of chopped roast meat over rice, tender with creamy fat and a hint of caramelization around the edges. Ask for it fatty (you should) and you'll actually get it—a rare trust between diner and restaurant worth nourishing in Chinatown.

By Stephen Hawkins
The Associated Press
WACO, Texas — Brittney Griner stopped at the edge of the podium, pulled out her iPhone and made a goofy face.
Before taking a self-portrait in front of the NCAA tournament backdrop after her final home game for Baylor, when she became the first woman with three dunks in a game, the 6-foot-8 Griner had teammates Brooklyn Pope and Odyssey Sims join her with silly grins of their own.
When coach Kim Mulkey turned and saw what was going on behind her, she started laughing.
These Lady Bears are having fun and making the most of the time they have left together — less than two weeks now and only four wins away from a second consecutive national championship.
Baylor (34-1), in the NCAA round of 16 for the fourth year in a row, plays Louisville (26-8) on Sunday night in Oklahoma City.
Griner had a fitting farewell at the Ferrell Center with 33 points, a career-high 22 rebounds and that trio of impressive dunks. The last two slams came after a tweet at halftime of the 85-47 victory over Florida State on Tuesday night.
In describing how her team is playing right now, Mulkey said: 'It's scary good. And it's not just Brittney."
But Griner, one of five Lady Bears seniors, does create the most impressive highlights.
For her first dunk in the home finale, Griner caught a pass on the move from freshman Niya Johnson, took one more step without a dribble and went up for a one-handed slam. A tweet posted during halftime from Griner's account read: "Need two more dunks on home court for the best crowd ever!"
And she delivered with two slams in a 79-second span of the second half not long before she came out of the game for good.
Griner got another pass from Johnson, waited for a defender to move past and for a one-handed dunk. Soon after that, Griner grabbed the rebound of a missed 3-pointer while surrounded by three Seminoles and had a reverse slam.
After winning the Big 12 tournament championship with a 28-point victory over Kansas State, the Lady Bears opened the NCAA tourney with an 82-40 win over Prairie View. The NCAA's top overall seed then scored the game's first 11 points and had a 31-point halftime lead against Florida State on way to its 33rd consecutive victory overall and 57th in a row at home.
"If you look at our numbers across the board, it's not just Brittney's numbers," Mulkey said. "If you look at Odyssey's numbers, Destiny Williams' field goal percentage, our free throw percentage."
While Griner has averaged 33 points and 11 1/2 rebounds the past six games, Williams has made two-thirds of her field goal attempts (38 of 58) in the last eight games, even with a 2-for-6 night against the Seminoles. Sims has 41 assists with only 13 turnovers (seven coming in one game) in the same seven-game span when the Lady Bears are shooting 57 percent from the field as a team.
Baylor is 72-2 at home since the arrival of the senior trio of Griner, Kimetria Hayden and Jordan Madden. Griner played in only one of those losses, missing the regular season finale of her freshman season, a loss to Texas.
The Lady Bears have won every home game the past three seasons since point guard Sims arrived the same year that transfers Destiny Williams and Pope, the other current seniors, were able to start playing for the team. Sims can extend the home winning streak next season, but Griner and the other Lady Bears seniors will end their careers on the road — preferably by lifting another national championship trophy in New Orleans on April 9.
The last time Baylor didn't make it past the NCAA round of 16 was 2009, before any of the current players, when Louisville won 56-39 in a third-round game. Now Baylor gets Louisville again.

The Three Essential Men's Suits
Now that each brand in the men's apparel business comes out with its own version of the suit, the field of men's formal and office attire has expanded dramatically. But you don't need to buy every suit that the stores label as 'classic' or 'essential.' Heck, you don't need that many suits at all; three should be enough to get you through most days and events.
The Black Suit
Once thought to be limited for just funeral homes and undertakers, the modern black suit is now a staple for virtually any situation. Whether it's an office interview or a dinner out, your black suit is the single ready-to-go, hassle-free option.
The trick to keeping your black suit from looking like funeral home fare is to get it in the proper (even close-fitting) size. That means no protruding shoulder pads, a waist that slightly hugs your own and a hem that doesn't go too far below your crotch.
Another strategy you could employ is to inject some color or pattern into your outfit. A patterned or light colored shirt, for example, is a much more vibrant option than a plain white one. Stripes or geometric patterns, on the other hand, give a much needed update to ho-hum old solid black ties. You may also want to watch out for different textures of black items, an emerging trend for this year. Read the rest of this entry »
Tips in Taking Care of Mens Suit
Knowing and having the right suits for men is very important. A man is expected to have at least a pair of men's suit in his closet. Everyday life brings us surprises we don't expect. Occasions, celebrations and unexpected events just come without our knowing such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, formal parties and even job interviews.
Now when this happens are you going to panic buy for men's suit because you do not have it? Are you just going to grab whatever men's suit you see in a shopping mall? Or worst borrow from someone else suit? Of course not! A real man is expected to own his own suit.
They say what you wear is who you are. The personality you project on your clothing expresses what kind of person you are. If you wear formal clothing like men's suit, it shows that you are an organized, formal, confident and smart person. It is in the way you dress. How you match your suit to your pants, tie and shoes and of course your personality as a man can also be define.
Choosing the right fabric of men's suit is an important thing a man must know. Fabric for suit includes rayon, merino, wool, polyester, cotton, silk, linen and more. This fabric differs in terms of quality and durability. Read the rest of this entry »

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A year ago at this time, the Portland Timbers had held their season-ending banquet, passed out their individual awards and gone home, disappointed with an eighth-place finish in Major League Soccer's Western Conference.
Now they're eyeing the conference finals.
The Timbers finished the regular season ranked atop the conference standings and hold a 2-1 advantage going into Thursday's second leg of their two-game goal-aggregate conference semifinal against the rival Seattle Sounders.
The Timbers get the second leg at home — a place where they've been tremendously successful this season with an MLS-record 11 shutouts. Portland has an 11-1-5 home record and a 15-match unbeaten streak at Jeld-Wen Field. The team's lone loss came on March 9 to Montreal.

Rushville Republican
Just like clockwork, books are turned in at the end of the school year. So when a class took home a note indicating their child was bringing home a book and it was theirs to keep, a special legacy was being carried out.
Mrs. Carla Angle, Rushville Elementary School East kindergarten teacher, did just that! Her mother, also known as Grandma Katie, was involved for many years with the Foster Grandparent Program in New Castle. Before her death in 2007, Mrs. Angle's sister and brother in law, Mike and Patty Boyles, established the Grandma Katie Reading Endowment. The purpose of the endowment was to put books in the hands of young children. Grandma Katie loved her students and it was very important to her that they were successful readers. Her legacy continues every year as money is given to classroom teachers in order to provide books for their students.
This is the first year Mrs. Angle's class has received money from this fund. While each child received a book to take home, books were also purchased that will remain in the classroom. "I hope the children enjoy their books. I know Grandma Katie would have been so pleased," stated Mrs. Angle.
The school year has come to a close and various activities will fill our student's lives. Thanks to people like Grandma Katie, a book will be close at hand to be a part of those summer days. This gift of reading is one more reason why Rush County Schools are a great place to be.
Marianne Scott is the Legacy Fund director/Information officer with Rush County Schools.

What Would Muhammad Say About Terrorism?
We find clues in a tale of wandering nomads that betrayed the Muslims' trust
BY: Alex Kronemer
Terrorism as witnessed on September 11 is not directly addressed in the Qur'an, the Muslim Holy Book, which was the basis for all Muhammad's actions. However, a certain category of crimes outlined in the Qur'an in verses 5:33-34 comes close to a definition that would apply to terrorist actions. These are crimes committed by a few that spread fear, destruction, and havoc in society at large. Among the most hated offenses addressed in the Qu'ran, examples traditionally include gangsterism, banditry, and serial murder. Terrorism would almost certainly fall into this category, since the hallmark of these crimes is their almost radioactive power to inflict harm long after they are committed. For this reason, such crimes as terrorism carry the harshest penalties in Islamic justice: execution in the worst case, banishment from the land, or the cutting off of a hand and a foot to prevent the perpetrator from threatening society again.
A story from the life of the Prophet not only illustrates why such crimes are so harmful, but is eerily reminiscent of the current situation. Quoted in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud and several other authenticated stories of the Prophet's life, it tells about a small group of nomadic men who wandered from the desert into Medina when Muhammad lived their, and finding him, claimed to be Muslims and asked for shelter. Winter had come to the region and the men were sick and badly malnourished. Feeling pity for them, Muhammad gave them shelter, food and allowed them access to several female camels for milk. They lived among the Muslims in Medina for a long period, gaining the trust of many and seeming to have joined the society. But one night, after the weather had improved and their health was restored, they killed the attendant who cared for the camels and disappeared into the night with the animals.
Arabia at that time was full of such nomadic people, and they often attacked and pillaged desert caravans. But this crime was different and unexpected to the Muslims. These men had come to the city, claiming to be one of them--claiming to be Muslims--and had been accepted. But they had lied and murdered. Who among the other nomads living now among them in Medina and claiming to be Muslims were also murders, waiting for the right moment to strike?
Then as today, such suspicions quickly can undermine a society, making people deeply distrustful of one other, creating fear and anarchy.
For this reason, not only does the Qu'ran spell out the judicial punishment, but also warns that an "awesome" suffering awaits in the afterlife.
But as is the case with the execution of any Islamic punishment, justice is tempered with mercy and must be guided by certitude. A tradition of the Prophet says that it is better to err in acquitting a guilty person than in punishing an innocent one. It would therefore be important that the crime be proven by a decisive event without any doubt, and that all the requirements of Islamic justice, which include a fair trail and the humane treatment of people in custody, be fulfilled.
Once proven, the guilty would probably find at least one mercy still available to them, even as they faced their punishment. While the judicial requirement must be met, a truly repentant person would be told that they could hope for God's forgiveness and mercy in the afterlife. As the Qu'ran frequently reminds the people who go to it for guidance, God is All-Forgiving, Merciful beyond boundaries, and Compassionate to those who seek it .

Grant sparks welding class reality at SVHEC
- Last Updated on 07:54 AM 05/29/13
- BY Paula I. Bryant
Construction is set to begin in June on a new welding classroom at the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center, making it the only one of its kind in Halifax County.
Workforce training in welding here got the green light Thursday when the Virginia Tobacco Commission approved the higher education center's $154,114 grant request during a meeting in South Hill.
Currently welding training does not exist in Halifax County with welding students having to travel to nearby community colleges to take the classes.
The recently approved grant funds will be used to modify existing unfinished space in the outdoor classroom at the Innovation Center of the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center to house the newly-developed workforce training welding program.
According to Dr. Betty Adams, executive director of the higher education center, construction on the welding classroom is expected to start in June and be complete by May of next year with the first welding students being admitted to class in August of 2014.
The welding program for Halifax County competed with 10 other applications this year to receive a portion of the remaining $641,098 in Southside Economic Development grant funds.
The project also will leverage existing resources in the form of infrastructure and equipment, allowing the higher education center to meet the increasing regional demand for technical training services, especially welding.
It will also make National Center for Construction Education and Research standardized training programs available in the county.
Letters of support were provided from five Halifax companies that employ welders and anticipate additional hiring in the near future including CCI (Comfort Systems, Halifax Machine Shop, McDannald Construction Inc., Huber Engineered Woods and TMI Auto Tech, Inc.
The U.S. welding workforce currently numbers 500,000, and demand for welders is projected to grow over the next decade, she explained.
More than 50 percent of U.S. industries report difficulties locating qualified welders; this shortage is expected to worsen as researchers estimate that for every two welders retiring, only one is entering the workforce.
In the tobacco region, more than 1,400 people are employed in welding-related jobs. The need for welders is strong due to growth in industries such as construction, energy production and manufacturing.
Currently, Halifax County residents must drive 45 minutes or further to access welding training, which Adams said is a deterrent especially for working adults.
"Welding is one of the big skills gaps here. There are fantastic programs in adjacent counties, but nothing local and convenient for us. We are thrilled to now be able to offer this," Adams said.
The welding training program will provide a range of training options in Halifax County, from the 18-month modular program leading to National Center for Construction Education and Research certification, to customized short-term trainings for industry.
Classes will be held in the 6-bay lab to be installed adjacent to the Advanced Machining Center and will be scheduled in the evenings and on weekends so as to accommodate working adults.
Should the modular welding training program expand to a larger facility in the future, the 6-bay lab will continue to be used to meet industry needs for short-term customized training and for overflow from the modular program.
The welding training program at the higher education center will be staffed by one instructor employed by Virginia Technical Institute. Three administrative staff persons and two accounting technicians employed by the higher education center will carry out the administrative and fiscal duties, she explained.
Within two years from the program start date, Adams said 12 welders will be available to fill demand indicated by local and regional businesses.
Over the next six years, Adams anticipates 18 new jobs will be created as a result of the welding program.
The inaugural cohort of 12 students could complete the welding training program within 18 months, preparing them to take National Center for Construction Education and Research and American Welding Society certification exams.
With a new cohort entering each year, the executive director anticipates at least 50 students will complete the welding training program within six years of the program start date and become employed in the Southern Virginia region.
This project will begin to move welders through the pipeline to meet employers' needs now, Adams explained, and a trained welding workforce will help attract new industry to the county and region.

Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo said Wednesday that WR Mark Clayton, acquired from Baltimore Monday, was working at the "Z" receiver in the club's base offense and figures to play inside initially in three-WR sets.
"He's a quick guy," Spagnuolo said of Clayton. "I think he can help these young guys a little bit. It seemed like a pretty good fit for us."
Spagnuolo did not say how much Clayton might play in the season opener vs. Arizona on Sunday.
Clayton caught 34 passes for 480 yards and two TDs last season for the Ravens. Baltimore's acquisition of former Seahawks WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh made Clayton expendable. Clayton, who has made 59 career starts, adds an experienced target to a receiving corps that lost deep threat Donnie Avery to a season-ending knee injury in August.
"I'm excited," Clayton said. "I'm just trying to get the system down as much as possible and being able to help the team."
In other Rams news, Spagnuolo announced RB Steven Jackson will be the offense's captain and S O.J. Atogwe will captain the defense. Captains were chosen by player vote.
