New Van!
BCP has been generously given a large van by Buncombe County. It is a retired Mountain Mobility van. The plan is to use it as a mobile farmer's market.
There is discussion of giving it a colorful vegetable-themed paint job. Might be a painting party in the near future, stay tuned for more info.
