This is a gorgeous book, part memoir, part history, all delicious prose (plus recipes!) about the journey of a couple with a dream to become self-sufficient organic blueberry farmers.I just loved this book!

Crozet Music Festival gets Love
Crozet – One thing is certain, and that is without the Crozet Music Festival, there would be many musically-starved, disappointed people in the surrounding Charlottesville area. As Biff Rossberg states, the supreme mission for the Crozet Music Festival is “to produce a semiannual event to raise revenue to support Crozet Park, the Western Albemarle Rescue Squad, and other area nonprofits.” The Crozet Music Festival has truly been a been a magnetic source for families and friends to gravitate to as a musical community in the Misty Mountain Campground.
We shouldn’t forget how lucky we are to have this in Crozet.
Guerrilla Yoga in Crozet – Starting 4 November
From Ursula Goadhouse:
I am joining the Guerrilla Yoga Project, which is a donation-based yoga outreach. I will hold class Thursday nights 7 – 8:30 pm at the Tabor Presbyterian Church in the fellowship Hall. Corner of Tabor and Crozet Ave. Kate Hallahan is the GYP organizer, and there are classes all over, from the women’s jail, through C’ville and NOW in Crozet with me!
I am very excited about this! Class starts November 4th and continues on-going. Drop-in only.
Crozet’s Lost and Found? Found Glasses in Grayrock
Anything to help someone in the Crozet community …
Not sure if this is the way to contact you, but I was wondering if I would be able to report a pair of kid sized glasses found in our driveway the morning after Halloween via your Crozet website? (It’s great by the way and I love getting these emails.) I wasn’t sure if you had any kind of community lost and found section…?
…
They were found in Grayrock the morning after Halloween. It gets VERY busy here on that night, so there’s a good chance it could be someone’s from outside the neighborhood. (No luck from my posted signs and mass email within Grayrock.)
Here’s a picture of the glasses.
If these are yours, please email me, and I’ll forward it on, rather than post the finder’s phone number.
“Vintage” This Weekend
From a reader:
Hi Jim – I know you feature upcoming events on Real Crozet – this film is by a Crozetian – Bill Reifenberger and a lot of it was shot in Western Albemarle (quite a bit at King Family Vineyard). So if folks want to support some local wineries and a local film maker this is the event for them. The new director of the Va Film festival is a Crozetian as well !!

This is truly a community fund raiser – a way for local folks help make their community better. So I’m passing it along to the Crozet Community Association.
For the first time that Crozet Park is holding a fundraiser outside of Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival. We’ve been awarded a local matching grant for the Crozet PARC (park, aquatics and recreation center) project from the Perry Foundation and must match the money to receive the grant. We are holding this special fundraiser on Friday Nov. 12, at the King Family Vineyard with a silent/ live auction, music, local beer, wine and hour d’ ourves catered by L’toile.
Tickets must be purchased in advance and are expected to sell out early- submit your contact info to thehttp://www.crozetparkpool.com/ If you would like to attend or possibly donate to our silent auction by clicking on ” Support Our Expansion”. Additionally highlights of the upcoming event, the form to donate or advertise at the event are also available on the web-site.
With local community support we can meet our goal of year round swimming here in Crozet by next fall. It would also mean that WAHS swimmers would have a home here in Crozet.
See you on Friday Nov 12th at 7pm at the King Family Vineyard!
Sincerely,
The Crozet PARC organizing committee

The HooK Looks at Re-Store ‘N Station
Lisa Provence at the HooK reports.
I hadn’t heard this anywhere.
As for the owners, Michelle Sprouse says she and her husband envision the Re-Store ‘N Station as an environmentally friendly place— complete with healthy foods— and whose the motto will be “refuel, replenish, refresh.”
I’d love for the Sprouses to write a letter to RealCrozetVA describing what their vision is.
If you want or need background on the Restore N’ Station or the Re-Store N’Station or Re-Store ‘N Station.
