Yesterday's Market

It was a bIt was a beautiful day at the Farmers Market yesterday. It looks like all of those crazy weather warnings were indeed crazy! We got a couple of sprinkles in the square with no hail to speak of. And the wind... nice breezes.

So, join us next Thursday and say hi to your returning favorites as well as some new vendors who will be joining us July 1. (I'll keep you posted about the newbies!) See you at the Market!

Thanks to The Arlington Weekly News!

I just wanted to thank Rich Massabny for giving our Farmers Market (and Arts & Crafts Market!) a great shout out on his TV show, Arlington Weekly News.

Two Belles Souther Pound Cakes

"What do you get when you cross two displaced southern girls, an old KitchenAid mixer and a heap of baking know-how? A whole lot of pound cake — really good pound cake!"

Starting, tomorrow, June 10, Two Belles Southern Pound Cakes will be joining the Ballston Farmers Market!

These are NOT factory cakes, folks. These are artisan pound cakes crafted by two “belles” who love to bake with the kind of natural ingredients their own grandmothers used: pure unsalted butter, high quality flour, cream or whole milk, eggs, sugar and a bit of fine extract for marvelous flavor.

With a bunch of different flavors and frosty colors, these pound cakes are simplicity at its best.

Good. Traditional. Southern. Pound Cakes. Which means no skimping on the butter.

Blues Musician Rick Franklin

Not only does the Ballston Farmers Market have fresh produce, scrumptious pastries, buttery pound cakes, fluffy whoopie pies, organic herb mixes, raw honey, fine teas and more, we also have live music!

Acoustic blues musician and songster extraordinaire, Rick Franklin, will perform exclusively for the Ballston Farmers Market right here in Welburn Square. Catch him in action every Thursday from 4:00-6:00pm for the entire month on June.

Makin' Whoopie!

Have you all heard of Whoopie Pies? Well, if you haven't please allow us to introduce you to a little lip-smacking slice of heaven.

Think of a Whoopie Pie as a little fluffy cupcake but in sandwich form. Brilliant, right? And nobody--I mean nobody, knows Whoopie Pies like B. Hall, Baker. In fact, this boutique baker specializes in Whoopie Pies in a variety of seasonal flavors, like French Lemon Cake, Vanilla Bean, Peach Mango, Dark Chocolate, and more.

Each packaged in its own separate wrapping, only the finest ingredients are used to make these Whoopie Pies!

Every Thursday, from 3:00-7:00, B. Hall, Baker plans to bring two different flavors of scrumptious Whoopieness to the Ballston Farmers Market in Welburn Square, along with petite sweet potato pies and fudgey brownies.

Oh, Ballston, we are soooooo lucky.

Farmer Market in June!

Local photographer and blogger, Abbie Rufener, said it best, "... Heaven is found in local farmers markets." Find fresh and delicious blueberries, peas, cheese pastries, pork products, green bean, potatoes, sour cherries, raw honey, brownies, strawberry muffins, organic herb mixes, whoopie pies and SO much more. Yep. Sounds like Heaven to me.

Check out some pictures from yesterday's Market!

Swing by next Thursday from 3:00-7:00 to experience Heaven in Ballston. :)

Bees 'n Blossoms Honey

What's sweeter than honey? Nothin! That's why I'm so excited that Bees 'n Blossoms Honey will be joining the Ballston Farmers Market starting this Thursday, June 3!

Bountiful nectar sources exist in the meadows and forests of Virginia's countryside. And Bees 'n Blossoms Honey "keep" their bees using organic principles, natural substances and herbs to deter insect pests and intruders.

Swing by THIS THURSDAY and pick out your

own favorite kind of honey, including herbal honey, creamed honey, and raw honey. They may even bring along some honey candles, jellies and granola bars. Sweeeeeeet.
