Market News!
Yes, it is that time of year and none too soon!
We will be back at Byrd House Market beginning tomorrow, March 30th. We have
lots of eggs, mushrooms, jams, preserves, and honey. If we can harvest spinach
we'll have that as well.
West End Farmers Market
Kicks off on Saturday, April 24th! Join us at Henrico's ONLY producers-only
market. There will be a great line up of growers and producers. Come out to re-
new and make new acquaintances.
Saturday hours are 8 until 12 noon.
Wednesday hours are 3 until 7 pm.
Lakeside Farmers Market
If you haven't gotten by to see the new market pavilion, please plan to attend
the ribbon cutting ceremony on April 28th at 4:30.
Local producers will be on hand to show case their spring greens and other
fine farm grown items.
What's Growing
Eleven inches of water? And we thought last spring was cold and wet!
We have certainly taken advantage of the infrequent "nice" days and have
planted sugar snap peas, leeks, onions, garlic, strawberries, spinach, spring
raab, kale, 4 varieties of carrots, arugula, potatoes, beets, and radishes.
We'll keep you posted on our progress. Watch us grow!
