Farmers Market at Ix, February 14, 2026
Market Hours: 9:00-1:00 Market Location: Ix Art Park
Finally, better weather has arrived for the market, just in time for Valentine’s Day. So many bakers have applied for this year. There is enough space for them now, but we will try to keep a balance when the farm vendors return. They usually begin bringing their seedlings in late march. Little Hat Creek Farm and Bakery will return with their famous bread and baked goods this year, along with their farm produce.
For behind the scenes information: Little Hat Creek, Second Mountain and two new citizens at large just joined the Market Central Board. The Board is essential for the existence of the market. You may think that the Ix Art Foundation runs the market, but they do not. Market Central and the vendors rent the space from them and take care of all market operations. Let us know if you, too, are interested in serving on the board, and looking out for the future of local food in Charlottesville. What can we do to make local food accessible and available for all?
This week is a great opportunity to come out of hibernation, see your old friends at the winter farmers market, and snag breakfast, local food supplies, and Valentine’s treats.
