Feature News:

McCleaf’s Orchard will start their sweet cherry season this week!



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.



Prince Georges County Health Department will have WIC Farmers Market
Nutrition Program vouchers this week.



Coming Attractions:

Chat with the Chief” June 29, 2017, 5:00 p.m. The Chief Community Advisory
Committee will host a “Chat with the Chief” at the Riverdale Park Farmer’s
Market. Come out and chat with Chief Morris and members of the Riverdale
Park Police Department.

Unfortunately, Roy & RT’s Kitchen & Garden is gone for the next three weeks
and returning on July 13th. 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.
