Virginia Garden Organic Grocery plants seeds to educate



Virginia Garden Organic Grocery at the Virginia Beach Famers Market welcomed guests to join them in the planting of some very special seeds. Vicki Shufer of Wildwoods Farm brought seeds that the assistant Chief of the Pamunkey Indians shared. The white eagle corn seed stock is descended from the corn that was carried on the Native American "trail of tears."


Ariana Molina and Justin Frazier were there to help with the planting.
