Old Town Farmers Market is open year round, but did you brave the cold temperatures to visit the outdoor market this winter? Now’s a great time to rediscover this valuable local resource as the weather starts to get warm and the variety at the market improves. At the peak of the season, the Old Town Farmers Market hosts over 70 vendors. Not only is it one of the area’s largest, it’s also the oldest. George Washington used to send his produce from Mount Vernon to sell at the Farmers Market (a fun fact to bring up at parties). Old Town Farmers Market boasts an impressive array of vendors, selling everything from fresh produce and meats to cheeses, bread, and more. You can also pick up artisanal pasta, pickled vegetables, and specialty pastries to keep your pantry well stocked, and a few items to refresh your home like potted plants, handmade soaps, and art. Shop the Market on Saturdays from 7 a.m. to noon in Market Square on King Street. Parking is free in the adjacent garage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
