ECO City Farms is back!
After a short hiatus from our CSA program and the Riverdale Farmers Market, ECO City Farms is back and better than ever! In three short months the staff at ECO have applied over eight hundred wheelbarrows of compost (more than doubling the growing space at the Edmonston farm), built a new mobile greenhouse for our Bladensburg farm, renovated our kitchen and processing facility, and have nearly completed the construction of our on-site classroom/community center. We look forward to seeing you and all of your friends and neighbors at our local market this Thursday!

Groff''s Content Farm offers great quality sustainably raised beef, pork, chicken and lamb and is featuring their amazing Chicken Pot Pie on their ready to warm up menu.

Maryland Market Money is back with a maximum $5 per week on SNAP purchases.

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 $28 per week. We suggest once a month attendance. If you're interested, please contact us.

Prince George’s County Health Department is finished with WIC vouchers for the 2017 season.

Coming Attractions:

Winter is coming and so is the Winter Market. As far as we know, we’re outside and will be open Thursdays, 3 to 7 PM from December 28th, January 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th, February 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, March 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th.
