Market Central’s Farmers Market at Ix Market Hours: 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Last market in June already! All the summer produce is in- providing it actually grows here. No bananas, pineapples, mangos, etc! But you can get those tropical fruits in smoothies made fresh by Laziz Produce. Peaches, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, melons, are the local fruits of choice. The heat wave may have a detrimental effect on fruit and vegetable production, but hopefully the plants will recover.
Chvey Chase Farm will be out for an unspecified time. Other vendors offering beef include Peacemeal, Wayfinders, and Henley’s.
Frozen products -Rybas’s Pierogi, Olive Branch Garden pizzas- are available; fresh pasta from Oro cooks in 2 minutes. Take home foods include temalles from Hands Off Maria, Tilman’s pickles, Pie Guy pies, savory hand pies from Angel’s Afgan Cuisine, Good Phyte snacks, baked goods and breads from our many bakers — all help minimize creating heat in your kitchen. SFG Foods, Mexican Tacos, Rum Punch, Sweet Janes Kitchen, Khushbu, offer ready-to-eat breakfast/brunch/lunch. We welcome back CVille Crumpets, a local family’s summer business which donates proceeds to charity.
A full range of artists and craftspeople offer choices for home and gifts.
It’s a full market, and the cool down in temps is welcome. Come early and fill your baskets! Questions about vendors, products, SNAP and VA Fresh match can be answered at the Market Central managers booth.
One last alert: There is an Ix Art Park event taking place on the plaza right after the market ends, so we have to scedaddle immediately at the close of the market!
