Farmers Market at Ix, March 14, 2026
Market Hours: 9:00 am- 1:00 pm; Location: Ix Art Park, 522 Second St. SE, Charlottesville, VA 22902
Hello Market Friends,
The vendors continue to return as spring officially gets closer, notwithstanding a snow burst yesterday after 80 degrees the day before! Don’t plant your frost sensitive plants too soon! The average frost free date in our climate zone is not until after April 15. The trouble with Climate Change is that these dates have changed, and late frosts have affected our farmers in recent years, killing fruit blossoms, and plants that are set out too early. Customers who use SNAP may use their benefits to buy plants that produce food! If you are new at growing food, we recommend checking with Cultivate for information and support.
Little Hat Creek is back for the season this week, and there will be first seasonal sightings of Honeysuckle Creek Farm, Wanders Hill, The Hollows Farm Co-op, along with our many steady and dependable farms and food vendors. The complete list is linked below.
The contract to use the Ix Art Park space is signed for this year. You may not know that Market Central is an independent self-funded non-profit and we are operating the market as independent contractors. We are always open to ideas to improve the market, from the vendors and community. Community members may join the board.
Thanks for coming, and see you at the market.
