Hello Folks, We’re a little behind on our market post. We submitted a grant to the Virginia Food Access Investment Fund. It is a great state program that supports reducing food insecurity and supports equitable food oriented business development. Keep your fingers crossed that Market Central will receive funding to invest in our SNAP system and disadvantaged businesses at the market.

As problems increase on a global level, we are reflecting on how important it is to support local farms, food producers and artisans so that they can continue to feed us. It’s a mutual support system. Heading into the 2022 growing season, we’ll be welcoming the return of farmers in the coming weeks.

Thanks for sticking with us through the cold and dark months of January and February!
