Feature News:

ECO City Farms <https://business.facebook.com/ECOCityFarms/?fref=mentions>
is back!

After a short hiatus from our CSA program and the Riverdale Farmers Market,
ECO City Farms is back and better than ever! With the help of our wonderful
friends, volunteers, and interns, a massive overhaul of both our Edmonston
and Bladensburg farms is now complete. 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 being back at our local
market and seeing all of our friends and neighbors this Thursday!



Groff''s Content Farm offers great quality sustainably raised beef, pork,
chicken and lamb

and is featuring Meatball Marinara and Spaetzle on their prepared meal menu.



Jack Creek Plants is making their first appearance of the season..



Dimitri's Olive Oil is back this week.



Maryland Market Money is back with a maximum $5 per

week match on WIC Fruit and Vegetable Checks & 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.



Coming Attractions :Sorry, Mystic Water Soap is out this week. Red Chimney
Farm may be coming back on a guest vendor basis.

Many new vendors will premiere this season.



We're outdoors from this Thursday through November with our neighbors,

friends, and vendors. As always, it will trickle along until the weather
stays warm for a while and more things come up from the ground. It's still
an exciting time of year, even if it takes a while to get going.



Important Notices:



Food safety notice: Due to our county's health department regulations, dogs
are no longer welcome at the farmers market. We love dogs but had too many
incidents.



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
any other manner.
