Northern Neck Real Estate and Politics

Filed under: Real Estate — admin @ 6:52 am

Sometimes I feel as though I need to slow down on political issues and concentrate more on the Northern Neck Real Estate market.

Then I realize that my passion for the Chesapeake Bay really does coincide with my real estate job.

Today I go to Newport News, not to another VMRC meeting but to speak at a luncheon about the oyster industry and watermen.

Saving the bay is more than a $25 contribution and a bumper sticker. Letters to local and state elected officials will do much more.

This is the way I feel about being a real estate agent, a commercial waterman, and an advocate for a clean bay. Any real estate can tell you the good places to eat but I know more about the water and what is effecting the Bay than any of the others.

Northern Neck Farmer’s Market

Filed under: *Living in the Northern Neck* — admin @ 4:47 am

CB and Jane Kemper with assistant Christy Rock are among the 110 exhibitors at the Farmer’s Market in Irvington, VA. The Kempers own and operate Kemper’s Nursery in Farnham, VA and every Saturday during the season you will find them at one of the local markets that rotate through the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula.

Everything can be found at the market from fresh tomatoes to politics.

Visitors to the market not only can purchase fresh produce but they can also learn about the heritage of the Northern Neck as well with such organizations as the Reedville Fishermen’s Museum, the Northumberland County Library, and Rice's Hotel/Hughlett's Tavern having display booths.

If you think farmers only raise vegetables then you will be surprised to learn about the Northern Neck Oyster Farmers. Many of the residents are growing their own oysters from their piers and at the market they can place orders for the small oysters and purchase the cages to grow them in.
