Woodside Farms Fall Fest! Crank up the oompah, loosen your lederhosen and get ready to guten appetit at the Woodside Farms Fall Fest on October 15th from 10am-2pm.

Much like life here at Chickahominy Falls, there are some cars that only get better with age. That’s why this Saturday's Pop-Up event is inspired by one of our very own tenets. The Classic Car Display is inviting the Central Virginia British Car Club to showcase some of their very best. This Pop-Up will also feature BoomTown Radio for some rockin' tunes and giveaways. Join us on Saturday, September 17th from 10 am-2 pm
As the heat and humidity slowly roll across the piedmont region of Virginia, okra and green bean plants seem to wake up (even though all the heat and humidity ever seem to do for me is make me sleepy). As these two plants chug along into late summer/early fall, we tend to experience a temporary glut of greenery. So what do you do with all of these extra summer gifts?

By now, many of us know that inflammation is at the core of most chronic illnesses that plague us as Americans. And inflammation is caused by a variety of factors. But first and foremost, our diet is to blame. Pro-inflammatory foods (like processed foods, sugars, and artificial flavors) trigger safety mechanisms within our own bodies that cause inflammation and attack our cell walls. When we reduce the inflammation in our bodies, our immune systems are better able to stop and heal the root causes of our illnesses. Many doctors - alternative and mainstream alike - are recognizing the role inflammation plays in our overall wellness and longevity. However, conventional medicine is overwhelmingly targeting treating symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of our illnesses. For instance, when we have arthritis, many doctors will prescribe a pain medication to treat the symptoms of pain, rather than diving in to see where the inflammation is coming from.
Gardening, along with volunteering on a farm (ahem, like at Woodside Farms), can have many health and therapeutic benefits.
Now back to terroir, one of the biggest contributors to something’s terroir is the soil in which it is grown. There are many different ideas behind what makes a Hanover Tomato so good and most agree that it’s the soil here that is so important. Our soil is mostly sandy, with just the right pH, and lots of minerals. Some even believe that the reasons go back millions of years!
