week.

Feature News:
Our favorite urban farm, ECO City Farms <http://ecocityfarms.org/>

, will be back with us *every week* from here on out. We're glad to have
their great crops, positive people, and presence back for the long term
starting this week.

Maryland Market Money is back for SNAP & WIC-FVC @ $4 per week due to the
overwhelming response of customers.

We are offering a new option for local businesspeople that complement our
food options. One local business per week will be offered a slot at the
farmers market to offer services and goods that the market doesn't offer
for $25 per week. We suggest once a month attendance. If you're interested,
please contact us.

customers will forgive us for this change.
