In 2018, LURA initiated a project on the east side of Public Road that repaired sidewalks, added additional art installation locations, and successfully replaced some of these planters. This current project will replace additional tree planters, mainly on the west side of the street, as well as portions of existing sidewalk.

Now that I made the official announcement I can share here: if you were wondering who is moving into the buildings where the Little Herbal Apothecary currently is, that is going to be my business: Silver Peak Studio and Gallery! (April move date). We are a jewelry school (teaching all forms of jewelry making including wire wrapping, pearl knotting, and metalsmithing) for youth and adults.  The building offset from S. Public will be our metals classroom, then the main building will be our non-metalsmithing classes, fine art gallery (all original 2D art and jewelry made by my students, instructors, and me) and a jewelry supply store.

We collected information from our vendor community and friends of the market to help you have all the information you need to choose a CSA. Reach out to each individual farm to learn more about their CSA. If you are a local farm interested in being featured, please email fryder@bcfm.org.
