WESTOVER FARMERS MARKET UPDATE
January 5th, 2012 Posted in NewsThe Westover Farmers Market may be waiting for your Sunday patronage in May 2012. The market will become a reality because of the hard work and many continuing efforts by dedicated local residents. Our hard working neighbors have been meeting regularly and performing the many tasks needed to make the market a reality. A nonprofit company (Field to Table, Inc.) to operate the market has been incorporated in Virginia. The company has applied to the IRS for recognition as a charitable organization. A draft use permit application has been sent to County staff, and discussions are also underway with Arlington school officials. The planned market will be in front of the Westover Library and Reed School building and will likely also use the adjoining off-street parking lot in front of the ball field on N. 18th Street.
Financial support has been provided from several local civic associations and individual residents. Please consider being a financial supporter of our Westover Farmers Market. A financial contribution is easy and convenient. Simply make a check payable to Field to Table, Inc., P.O. Box 5948, Arlington, VA 22205-0948.

Is the market only for produce or are you accepting craft vendors as well?
