Couldn't make the Old Town Alexandria Farmers Market (operating continuously since 1753!) or Del Ray Farmers' Markets today? Don't worry! From May through October, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Sunday, rain or shine, the West End Alexandria Farmers Market will be open for business.
You have another chance tomorrow at the West End Alexandria Farmers Market, located at Ben Brenman Park, adjacent to Cameron Station. Parking's a breeze, too, which is an advantage over the other two markets.
It appears the market has about doubled in size since last year, so if you haven't been this year, try to make it out and see what's new!
Whether you are looking for every fresh vegetable -- or fruit --imaginable, spiced and candied nuts, fresh baked goods, organic meats, milks and cheeses, there is something yummy sure to please at this market.
There's fair-trade coffee, homemade pastas and sauces (sold by a hunky firefighter) plus a variety of artisans, a couple with homemade soaps...plus much, much more.
These folks say it better than I can, plus they have a handy map, recipes and a lot of interesting info on some of the vendors, so check out Culinate's blurb on the West End Farmers Market. And try to make it out there tomorrow - it's going to be another beautiful day here in Alexandria, VA.
UPDATE: West End Farmers' Market Closed at Ben Brenman Park WILL BE CLOSED SUNDAY, AUGUST 22 in preparation for the Annual Cambodian Community Day Festival. The West End Farmers' Market will reopen Sunday, August 29 and continue Sundays through November 21.
