July 11 @ 2 PM
An event with Roanoke Vegan & VegCurious Meetup group…
Berry Picking in Blacksburg
at Crow’s Nest Farm
&
dinner at Green’s Grill
Let’s pick some fresh organic blueberries and possibly raspberries together at Crow’s Nest Farm in Blacksburg. After we finish picking berries, let’s travel over to downtown Blacksburg for a casual meal at Green’s Grill and Sushi Bar. This restaurant is one of only a few in town that offers several vegetarian/vegan options-and has a great reputation. (If you’re wondering why we did not select Gillies, I’ve been told that they are infested with cockroaches). In any case, this will be a fun and rewarding afternoon. Here are the logistics:
I’d like to suggest that we carpool from Roanoke. If you’d like to carpool please post that on the discussion board and those who want to go can speak with each other via the Meetup page. Or if you would like to carpool with other Raw Foodies… comment on this page here.
If you would prefer to meet us at Crow’s Nest Farm, that’s okay too.
Let’s travel from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. and pick berries until 4:30. Then we will head to town for dinner.
Crow’s Nest Farm address: 1859 Broosfield Rd. Blacksburg, VA 24060.
Green’s Grill & Sushi Bar address: 109 College Ave. Blacksburg, VA 24060.

I was speaking with a friend of mine who frequents this berry patch the other day. When I told her I was thinking of going, she mentioned that I ought to go as early as possible. She stated that the last time she went to pick, she arrived and was informed that they were ‘all picked out’ for the day. I just wanted to mention this so our lovely outing doesn’t get messed up. Perhaps a simple phone call to the Crow’s Nest to see what the chances of that happening are. I’m excited about possibly being able to attend this and meet everyone!
Live well!
