We all know that the Farmers Market is about the freshest, locally grown fruits and vegetables, and we have those in abundance. But, LRFM also has lots of opportunities to indulge in the best of baked goods. Whether it’s a fancy almond croissant from Baguette Republic, a cupcake or a gorgeous decorated cookie (or kit to decorate your own) from Lauren’s Southern Sweets, yummy Turkish cookies from Ozfeca, or the perfect WFH lunch, baked empanadas from Ana’s Twist, we have something for you! Indulge a little this weekend! And also pick up those fruits and veggies for when it’s time to get back on track! Stop by Barrett Elementary School on Saturday, July 18, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. And don’t forget your pre-orders for Saturday pickup! We’ll see you (and your face masks) at the Market!
Market Policy Reminders:
No changes as Arlington moves to Phase 3
- Face coverings are required for all persons attending the market. Vendors are also required to wear face masks, as well as food-handling gloves.
- All customers should enter the market through the Barrett School parking lot entrance closest to N. Henderson.

Henderson entrance via the sidewalk near the school behind the vendor tents.
- Gatekeepers will be monitoring how many customers are in market space at any one time in order to comply with the requirements of physical distancing. Please be patient as there may be an appropriately-spaced line to enter.
- Almost all food sold in the market will be prepackaged to minimize browsing. Discussions with individual vendors should in compliance with the 6-foot physical distancing rule.
- Credit card payments are encouraged by most vendors.
- Only one adult family member should enter the market to pick up purchases.
- Kindly leave kids at home. We love children, but they add to crowding at market and pose a risk to our senior shoppers.

- Wash your hands thoroughly as soon as you return home.
- If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to ask one of the market managers.

Vendor Spotlight
Baguette Republic is a local traditional artisan bakery offering a large variety of artisan breads, pastries, and viennoiseries using the best European techniques and tradition. Their breads have a full shape, an airy crumb, and a thick brown crust. The dough is allowed plenty of time for fermentation and baking. As a result, each loaf looks beautiful, smells extraordinary, and tastes exceptional! This week, Baguette Republic is highlighting its “renewed” sourdough baguette and batard — bringing the “sour” back in sourdough! Available at the Lubber Run Farmers Market this weekend or pre-order for Saturday pick-up!
