Through the generous contributions from the Riverdale Park Town Council and
the facilitation of the Maryland State Farmers Market Association, the

week off to evaluate our current Maryland Market Money balance.

next week), Red Chimney Farm (flowers- maybe 4/16), Full Cellar Farm (back
next week with veggies until Boxer's Rest Farm comes back on 5/7), Jack
Creek Plants (4/16 or 4/23 depending on growth), Roy & RT's Garden (working
on Health Department paperwork), Musachio Produce (need to touch base with
again), Simple Pleasures Ice Cafe (working on Health Department
compliance), Peachy Family Dairy will be back on a biweekly basis this
season starting on 4/9/15.

Feature Event: No rain or crazy temperatures. Walk, ride or drive on over.

Sorry, the Rooster is done until we decide what to do next.
Important Notices:
Food safety notice: Due to a preponderance of evidence and our county's
health department regulations, dogs are no longer welcome at the farmers
market. We regret the loss but hope that our dog owning customers will
forgive us for this change.
Important note about parking: only parallel parking is allowed on Maryland
Ave (the road that passes under East-West Highway) -- please do not park in
