Arlington Farmers Market: New Hours, New Vendors

The Arlington Farmers Market has three new vendors — including one that sells oysters, clams and mussels — and will start its winter hours with the new year.

The market, next to the Arlington County Courthouse parking lot at Courthouse Road and North 14th Street, will be open from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays from January to March. From April to December, it opens one hour earlier.

Officials bill the market, one of seven across Arlington, as the longest-running farmers market in the county.

Three new vendors have been added to its roster.

They are, according to the Arlington County Department of Parks and Recreation:

New Morning Farm has been growing organic vegetables, berries and herbs in the mountains of south-central Pennsylvania for over 40 years. They’ll bring greenhouse and cold-storage vegetables all season, including beets, carrots, greens, squash, lettuce and herbs.

With nine greenhouses and improved cold storage crops, Spring Valley Farm & Orchard  is considered a model for extended season growers.  This family-owned farm in West Virginia brings a full variety of farm products including vegetables, fruit, and value added items such as pepper jelly, apple butter, peach preserves and salsa. 

Lynnhaven River Brand is offering oysters, clams and mussels from their farm in the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. They provide the freshest possible seafood by harvesting on Fridays and delivering to Northern Virginia for our weekend market.
