The July 11th market was one of the best yet!
The July 11 market was one of the best yet! The weather could not have been better – a clear sunny day accompanied by a light summer breeze. The Square was packed with shoppers buying everything from freshly cut flowers to artisan bread to home-made barbecue sauce. Young visitors from the Arlington County Summer Camp program danced with live music and learned first-hand about the benefits of healthy locally-produced food. See below for photos taken while the market was in full swing. Don’t miss our next market on July 18! We will again be joined by great music and our awesome line-up of vendors!

June 13th market made grocery shopping easy and fun!
Tyson’s Farms’ freshly picked strawberries are hard to resist. Walnut Hill Farm’s yellow and purple beets are always tempting. Of course LMS Farm’s green beans are just as fresh as they can get. In addition to helping out his parents, little Nathanial with J-Wen Farms added to the fun by showing his farm photo collection to those at the market. The live celtic fusion music played by Eire Supply was nice company for everyone!
