Market Central’s Farmers Market at Ix, May 10, 2025 Hours 8:00 a.m.-12:00

This time in May the weather could not be more perfect. It’s a delight to be outside. The Market at Ix is the perfect place to find what you need for honoring mothers for Mother’s Day. New crops of farm produce come in weekly, to add to the ever-present variety of spring greens. Strawberries, radishes, asparagus, early beets and carrots may be found. Two chicken producers have returned: Peacemeal, and Gillispie’s County Line Farm. It’s also the perfect time to shop for vegetable, herb and flower starts for your own garden, and for local (no negative enivironmental impact from shipping) fresh flower bouquets. Besides green and living things, pottery, photography, jewelry, herbal concoctions, woodworking, candles, weaving and textile arts are available. Abundant prepared foods are availabe for your visit: Khushbu for Indian street food will be attending, and new bread and treats baker, Boules on Barracks, has dropped out of law school to bake bread! Though we miss our former bread bakers, we’re grateful to have our new bakers helping to fill the gaps.

Find the map and vendors in the link below. SNAP and VA Fresh Match support is available as usual. Donations to Market Central (your non-profit market managment team) for insulated, zippered reusable market bags, Jesse Bellevance designed Market at Ix stickers, and small succulant plants can be made at the market management booth.

See you at the market!
