Market News, Discussion and Vendor Line Up
Market Central’s Farmers Market at Ix, April 12, 2025
Hello Friends, Charlottesville is such a beautiful place in early spring, thanks to all of you for planting so many Dogwoods, Redbuds, Magnolias, cherry trees, Viburnams, Azaleas, Tulips and so much more. At the Market at Ix, more and more flowers and plants are available for the upcoming growing season. The Virginis Fresh Match (SNAP match incentive coupons) can be used to buy food-producing plants!
Although the weather can be unpredictable, we encourange the vendors to come because we tell them that the customers will be there! So thanks for that, you are quite dependable supporters of local foods. We have a full market this week, with only a few farmers yet to return for the season. In fact, we’re a little worried about how we will find places for everyone. Second Mountain returned last week, along with Whisper Hill, and the debut of Sugarbear Bakery (hand pies, sweet and savory). The occasional vendors you might not want to miss this week include Khushbu for Indian street food, Patient Sawyer for woodwork, Honeysuckle Creek Farm for herbal and culinary creations, Broken Pieces with glass or pottery mosaics, and pottery from Riley Sean McGee. Hope you find good food, home goods, and have fun at the market.
