Welcome to our bloomin’ market! Don’t forget that we have moved to a new location since last year. We’re diagonally across the street from the National Realty building, and we have more vendors and more parking!

It has been slow in coming this year, but the market is now full and ready for picking. You can pick from early spring veggies and bedding plants for your own gardens. You can choose your favorite croissant or loaf of bread, cake pop or sinful dessert. You can pick from a variety of meats — they’re a little different at each market, but all of our markets have locally raised beef, pork, lamb, veal, or chicken. And some have all of the above!

You can select a Virginia wine to share or a lovely handmade soap to give; you can suit yourself with gluten-free goodies or meat-free burgers. You can spice things up with salsa or quench a thirst with punch. And if you really want to savor the moment, you can grab a bite from one of our very own locally grown food trucks and dine al fresco in the middle of the market.

There will occasionally be music to enjoy, a cooking class or canning demo to learn from, or for the kids, a balloon lady, face-painter or dance lesson — and always Whim Pops for everyone. Don’t forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to get the latest news.
