After a short hiatus from our CSA program and the Riverdale Farmers Market,
ECO City Farms is back and better than ever! 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 prepared meal menu.

Duchess Collection will have fused glass jewelry for sale.

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

Coming Attractions:

Many new vendors will premiere this season.

We're outdoors this Thursday through November 16 with our neighbors,
friends, and vendors. The market is in full swing now, most weeks you’ll
see new crops. It's an exciting time of year.

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.

Got ideas for improvements? Talk to or email Jim Coleman and share your
thoughts!  We can do it: change begins in Riverdale Park!

Bring Your Own Bag! We are also interested in making sure folks know about
us on Yelp and other sites. Shameless Promotion: Check us out on Twitter,
 Facebook, and now instagram!
