I like knowing who grows my food!
For instance, Teresa Berry is an RN who has worked with dietitians to produce gluten-free baked goods for those with gluten intolerance, celiac disease or wheat allergy. She began baking for her individual patients who had difficulty finding gluten-free products and has expanded her efforts to become Berry Ridge Farm.
The day this picture was taken, she also had free-range eggs from her morning gathering and homemade strawberry jam. She and her step-father, a dialysis patient who benefits from the gardening activity, also tend a large vegetable garden with 100 tomato plants and other produce.
Teresa, who sells weekly at the market and fills special orders by
request at 254-1689, finds the Botetourt Farmers' Market a good outlet
for her products. Although word of the market is spreading, she wants
everyone to come try the market which is open on Saturdays from 8am-1pm
or sell-out.
