“Spring Fest” Kicks Off 2018 FRESHFARM MVT Market Season: Saturday, May 5
Thursday April 26, 2018
Mark your calendar for the season opening of the always popular FRESHARM Mount Vernon Triangle Farmers Market on Saturday, May 5 to be headlined by “Spring Fest in the Triangle,” a fun and relaxed event for all to celebrate the start of the 2018 summer season of community programming.
Following the successful relocation and expansion of the market in 2017, this year’s market will once again be located on Eye Street NW between 4-1/2 & 5th Streets NW from 9AM until 1PM (one hour earlier per customer feedback!) every Saturday through October 27, rain or shine, and will continue to feature a vast selection of items from the following local and regional vendors:
- Black Rock Orchard, tree fruit
- Dicot Farm (new vendor!), certified organic produce
- DMV Empanadas (new vendor!), takeaway empanadas
- Orchard Breeze Farm, beef, chicken, pork and eggs
- Panorama Bakery, bread and baked goods
- Pleitez Produce Farm, field vegetables
Helping to kickoff the 2018 market season is “Spring Fest in the Triangle,” a fun family- and pet-friendly event to be held at Milian Park from 10 AM until Noon and that will feature:
- complimentary market shopping bags (while supplies last),
- face painting, activities and games for kids,
- live music from Snakehead Run,
- popcorn from 5th Street Ace Hardware,
- smoothie samples from Tropical Smoothie Cafe,
- and more as we continue to make way for the market season!
