Savoring Spring

Spring is on notice! We are eternally grateful for alllll the rain and are ready for the lushest summer! There's still so much prime spring produce: sugar snap peas, cauliflower, butter lettuce...Have you stashed away any strawberries or rhubarb for later? Pro tip: having local produce in the freezer when temperatures are freezing is magic!

See you at the markets!

YES, WE ACCEPT SNAP!

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal program that provides nutrition benefits to low-income individuals and families, so they can purchase eligible healthy foods and move towards self-sufficiency.

Stop by the Market Manager's tent at the Leesburg and Cascades Markets to get your SNAP tokens to use at the market. We are excited to announce we have completely funded our SNAP matching program and are able to match each dollar our SNAP customers spend on fresh food! Thank you to Virginia Fresh Match and our volunteer board for working hard to uphold and expand this program!

We LOVE our Volunteers!
