See Saturday's Market Vendors Here

Saturdays, 9 am-1pm, November- March

Market Central & Ix Art Park, 522 2nd St. SE., Charlottesville, Virginia

March is the official beginning of spring!

February didn't get the memo...

We are seeing the return of our farmers and are so happy to see old friends and introduce you to some new ones. If you see Cecile, give her a high five for pulling the market together each week!


March is also Women's History Month so we are highlighting some of our many women-owned businesses on @FarmersMarketatIx.

Follow us, and we will remind you when National Spinach Day arrives.

The Shopping List...

This list is all about proteins. I am shopping for some variety to bring home and the market has so many sources to choose from. Classics like beef, chicken, lamb are classic great buys, but maybe it's time to try something new. Duck, scallops and tempeh are on the list along with eggs, spinach and spelt for my fellow vegetarians. As always, ask your market vendor for advice on how to prepare your new ingredient.

EVERY FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH

March 4 is your chance to grab some delicious grains:

Spelt, Buckwheat, Grits, and more!

We are grateful to have so many thriving vendors at the Farmers Market at Ix.

Like Deep Roots Milling, not all vendors attend every Saturday.
