We were pleased to be able to begin accepting SNAP Benefits at the Old Town North Farmers Market on Sunday, February 19th. The Old Town North Community Partnership has been working for several years to make it possible for all within the City and the region to enjoy the benefits of healthy, fresh food. Many thanks to the team at Alexandria Community and Health Services for their help in bringing this goal to fruition.
We welcomed new vendors to the market… Inti Phaxsi Gems, The FreshMobile, and Department Store OB.
Ignacio’s Fresh Produce and Urban Farm Roots’n Shoots continue to bring us Mother Nature’s Bounty on Sundays and look for Ignacio’s Fresh Produce at the Market Sundays and Thursdays.
We hope everyone had a lovely Mother’s Day Weekend in Old Town North. Much fun was had at the Sunday Market with live music from Jazz Minoche and Face painting with the artists of the City of Alexandria’s Mobile Art Lab.
