| Apples, apples, everywhere! At C&T Produce |
Our vendors were interested in continuing to bring you all the great, local, and sustainably grown / raised / made products that you know and love... we couldn't see why we shouldn't continue through Thanksgiving! It is harvest season, after all.
Please come out and continue to support the 4MRMarket vendors that so eagerly wanted to continue being a part of your neighborhood farmers market! It should be a perfect, crisp fall day--sunny skies and 50 degrees. Sweater weather and farmers markets go together like fall and fresh C&T Produce apples (you pick the variety)!

SPREAD THE WORD. Please tell folks about us. And tell folks about some of the great things we're doing. For instance, all SNAP/EBT participants can take advantage of the Inova-sponsored "Double Dollar" program again this year that doubles the first $10 SNAP participants spend at the market. 4MRMarket is the first farmers’ market in Northern Virginia (and still the only) to accept SNAP. And C&T Produce now accepts SFMNP vouchers!
The Four Mile Run Farmers and Artisans Market (Alexandria, Virginia 22305) brings fresh, nutritious food to people of all income levels, provide an opportunity for local artisans and producers of goods to bring their wares to market, strive to reflect the diversity of the community, and improve the quality of life for Arlandria residents and visitors. It is part of an overall vision to expand and improve Four Mile Run park and the surrounding neighborhood.
4MRMarket is open every Sunday from 8am until 1pm from April 14th until November in Four Mile Run Park at 4109 Mt Vernon Avenue, Alexandria.
