As you visit your local VBPL branches you’ll find the usual: books, e-books, movies, music and plenty of free events. At these libraries, you can also pick up fresh produce:
Flip Flop Farmer
Thursdays: Bayside & Special Services Library 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Local farmers set up stands each week, offering fresh, locally-grown fruit and vegetables for purchase.
Virginia Beach Public Library and the Virginia Beach Agriculture Department have partnered to provide citizens with another convenient access point to purchase local farm products. Produce will vary by location and by what’s in season, including summer favorites like greens, lettuce, melon, tomatoes, sweet corn and strawberries to name a few. Specialty items like jam and salsa will also be available. Dates and times are subject to change. Follow VBPL and the farms on social media for the latest updates
