Ellewood Thompson's

Ellwood Thompson’s, a locally owned, independent natural foods market located in Carrytown in the beautiful city of Richmond, Virginia. 

Ellewoods started in the late 1980’s by Eric Walters who began selling supplements, vitamins, and some natural speciality products from a small corner of Richmond’s first Vegetarian Restaurant.  Walters was later joined by Rich Hood, a local Richmond architect, who was in the process of renovating a local shopping centre.  Together they opened City Market, which became a home to organic and natural products and produce.  In 1993 City Market relocated to a larger space in Carrytown, and renamed the store Ellewood Thompson’s, for the streets that it intersects with.  Since it’s opening the market has been committed to “be the heart and soul of our community through a strong commitment to local and organic foods”.

The James River Film Society (JRFS) is volunteer run nonprofit dedicated to the art of film and film as art.

The JRFS was originally formed as the Richmond Moving Image Co-Op (RMIC) in 1999 through a partnership between the James River Film Festival and Flicker. RMIC was incorporated on March 1, 1999, and received its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status from the IRS on July 21, 1999. In 2010 the RMIC changed its name to the James River Film Society to better communicate its mission through its name. The JRFS is an all-volunteer run organization.

the idea began with a doodle and has evolved into a mission to evolve the definition of the term “Farmer” — along with an awareness project to bring attention to the micro-economies of people effected by local independent farmers : chefs, restaurants, markets, butchers, gardeners, and consumers supporting the idea.
