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 their amazing Chicken Pot Pie 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 Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers, 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 distribute WIC Farmers Market
Nutrition Program vouchers this week.


Coming Attractions:

Unfortunately, Roy & RT’s Kitchen & Garden is gone until Thursday July 13th.
<x-apple-data-detectors://15> 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 <x-apple-data-detectors://16> through
November with our neighbors, friends, and vendors. The market is in full
swing now even though the tomatoes are just peeking out of the ground. It's
still an exciting time of year, even if it takes a while to get going.
