The Lubber Run Farmers Market is pleased to welcome the new Cherrydale Farmers Market to the Arlington Farmers Market family! Also a Field to Table-sponsored market, the Cherrydale Market opened two weeks ago at the Dorothy Hamm Middle School at the intersection of Military Road and Vacation Lane. Now, don’t you go peeling off to another market just because it’s new — Lubber Run would miss you! But if you have friends over there, let them know that they have a new option on Saturday mornings! You, on other hand, should join us for all your farmers market shopping at Barrett Elementary School on Saturday, July 17, from 8 a.m. to noon. And don’t forget your pre-orders for Saturday pickup! We’ll see you at the Market!

- Please don’t come to the market if you are unwell or at high-risk.
