| Swiss Chard: Your Go-To Heat-Wave Summer Green available from C&T Produce |
This Sunday C&T Produce is highlighting their Swiss Chard, known as the "Go-to Heat-wave Summer Green". Here's a suggestion for preparations from The Southern Kitchen.
This Sunday's 4MRMarket is here to help conclude your 4th of July weekend and all those cookouts and parties you have planned. Make sure to load up on pasture-raised beef and local pork from Stifler Farms and lots of great sweet corn and other grillable veggie goodies from C&T Produce. Top off burgers like a true gourmand with a perfectly crafted cheese of your choice from Tom's Amish Cheeses!
The key ingredients you need for a great, sustainably sourced 4th of July are right in your back yard at this Sunday's 4MRMarket! Some come on down.
Sunday will also be the 4MRMarket Stage debut of the Scrub Pines. Andrea and Nelson from Hyattsville, Maryland will be "sharing a collection of acoustic ballads and instrumentals, gathered from deep in the woods, along the river and up in the hills" from about 10am till Noon.
Check out some of their some their recordings on the Scrub Pines webpage and in our the 4MRMarket event listing. Here's their original tune "Rider":

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.
