Feature News:
This week, we are happy to host any folks who want to come to the market in
costume. No costume is necessary of course. We love photos of market
patrons in costume and some vendors will have treats for the kids.

Through the generous contributions from the Riverdale Park Town Council and
the facilitation of the Maryland State Farmers Market Association, the
Maryland Market Money program is up and running again. We will continue the
weekly $10 match of WIC & SNAP recipients' benefits each Thursday until our
budget runs out. Hopefully, the program can continue until the end of the
outdoor season on November 20.
