Old Town North Farmers’ Market

Welcome to the Thursday Old Town Community Market,
Alexandria’s Favorite Dog - Friendly Market.

August in Virginia!

Mother Nature continues to be fickle... Many thanks to our loyal fans for coming out last week during the heavy rains. We hope to be open for Thursday, August 22nd.

Weather policy. We are a rain or shine market but we will cancel if high winds, heavy rains or thunderstorms make conditions unsafe for our shoppers or our vendors. Cancellations due to weather will be announced on The Old Town Morth Farmer’s Market Facebook Page and on 571-218-2161.

VENDORS

Chris of Harmony Hill Farms brings us farm fresh eggs and meats along with produce including sweet corn and heirloom tomatoes.

Ana of Ana Twist of Ecuador will have her Signature Soups, Empanadas and award winning sorbets and ice cream. Many of Ana’s offerings are gluten free and vegan. I am especially fond of her “crazy green” sorbet.

For a healthy snack or salad pick up some of Gordon’s Micro Greens.

Miguel of Canna Homey has expanded his product and now includes teas and specialty creams.

Weather permitting we will offer Free Yoga in the Fresh Air in the Gazebo from 5:00-6:00pm followed by Music at the Market with Wynne Paris from 6:00-7:00pm.

Vendor Spotlight

Gordon Stolberg of Numero Moja

"What are those little green things?"

Our urban farmer Gordon brings us healthy Micro Greens, grown locally in the Hume Spring neighborhood of Alexandria. A relatively recent food source, Microgreens are a very nutritious food source loaded with food value producing a nutrition /weight ratio much larger than mature vegetables-especially vegetables that have been handled and shipped.

Microgreens are hydroponically grown in an organic medium (usually coconut coir). There is no soil, insecticides or fertilizers involved. The plants are grown under grow lights and sold as living plants. The plants may be set on a counter and the Microgreens harvested by pulling them out of the growth median. Folks are very fond of the spicy radish and the arugula!
