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 prepared meal menu.

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.
