We’re fast coming up to the end of the Lubber Run market season, with only two market days left in 2021. But, don’t fret, we’ll be back in April 2022 and, in the meantime, those wishing to continue enjoyment of seasonal local fruits, vegetables, and other produced foods are encouraged to shop at the Westover Farmers Market. That year-round market on Sunday mornings is located in front of the Westover Library at 1644 N. McKinley Road in Arlington. Its hours December through April are 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Many Lubber Run vendors also sell at Westover either part or all of the winter season, so you can still find your favorites:
Barajas Produce● Cold Country Salmon ● Dimitri Olive Farms ● Faerie Springs Farm ● For the Love of Goodies ● Great Valley Farms ● Harmony Hill Farm ● Hog Haven Farm ● King Mushrooms ● Linda Vista Farm ● Ozfeka Catering ● The Fermented Pig● Twin Springs Fruit Farm
Both markets are operated by Field to Table, Inc., an Arlington non-profit. Please continue to support our local farmers in the mid-Atlantic region and other regional food producers and keep putting healthy food on your tables throughout the winter! But, first, come see us in our waning days! Visit Barrett Elementary School on Saturday, November 13, between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. And don’t forget your pre-orders for Saturday pick-up! We’ll see you at the Market!
