Summer Fruit & Veggies, Music & Fun in Downtown!

The Richmond Main Street
Farmers’ Market is a HIT!  

More than 600 residents, employees, and visitors attended the Grand Opening on June 27th and reveled in the bounty that the farmers had to offer:

“Wow, what a lovely Farmers’ Market! I just returned to the office with berries, kale, beets, and baby bok choy. The whole set-up was beautiful and the prices were great.” -April

“Just got back from the Farmers’ Market. Loved, loved, loved it!!!” – Anonymous Fan

If you missed the Grand Opening, no need to fret–the market comes to downtown EVERY Wednesday from 10am-2pm in the lovely Nevin Plaza on 13th Street and Nevin Avenue  with more succulent fruit, fresh vegetables, gourmet foods, local honey, fresh cut flowers, baked goods, and other specialty offerings for you to enjoy.
