Hello,
If you are missing buying your favorite foods from our vendors - fear not!   Some of our intrepid farmers, bakers and OJ making vendors are braving the cold at some of the other Alexandria markets that are open all winter.  Here is the list of who is standing out in the cold waiting for you and at which market.

OLD TOWN MARKET:  Courthouse Square on Saturdays from 5:30AM to 11AM. 
(I know, I know - it is early!)
Herbal Curiosities:  Salves, creams, lip balm and herbal concoctions to keep you healthy. http://www.facebook.com/HerbalCuriosities

Billie's Flowers:  Billie and his motley crew are still giving away free single blooms to entice you to stop and smell (and buy) the roses - and daisies and carnations and evergreen bouquets

Fresh Joseph:  Cheryl and Joseph provide a big dose of Vitamin C with their fresh-squeezed OJ.  Don't forget to stock up for the week of Christmas!

DEL RAY MARKET:  Mount Vernon Avenue in downtown Del Ray on Saturdays from 8Am to noon.
Run over to Del Ray and have some breakfast, stock up on some vegies, fruits, nuts, cheese and baked goods, then have a good time walking up and down and checking out the stores.  You are bound to be entertained!

Tommy's Cheese Store and More.  Our favorite skamp - Tommy Tompkins is holding down the winter fort at Del Ray.  If you miss his cheese, dairy, jams, honey and baked goods - it is not that far to go.

The Dressed Up Nut.  Oh my they keep coming up with the most delicious new flavors of nuts - so terrific they will make your knees buckle. 

Marianna's Macarons:  Marianna and her handsome hubby did so well at our market they decided to extend the season by selling at Del Ray until Christmas.  If you want some of her macaroons after that you will have to order them at:  http://www.getmacarons.com/wordpress/.  They are perfect for parties and she has a new Italian-made Macaron tower that will make your party look like Ivana Trump decorated it!

I hope this makes each of you want to run out this weekend and see your favorite vendors.  I will keep you posted on other vendor

The West End Farmers Market had a terrific year!  Like the proverbial postal carriers our customers came out to the market every Sunday despite rain, heat, hurricanes and cold weather.   We want to thank every one of you for making the market a success and such an integral part of your Sundays.

Our last Sunday is right before Thanksgiving, November 20th.  There is still time to order a free-range turkey from On the Gourmet Truck, as well as pies and desserts from K&M Cupcakes, Vera’s Bakery, Tommy at the Amish Cheese Store and More, Marianna’s Macarons and On the Gourmet Food Truck. 

The fresher the ingredients the tastier the recipe so don’t forget to stock up on your root vegetables, and apples for Thanksgiving. 

The West End Farmers Market hopes you have a great Holiday season and a terrifically fun winter.  Just when you think winter will never end, the market will open again the first Sunday in May:  May 5th. 

When you get to missing the market visit our website and facebook account.  We have dozens of photos – maybe you can find yourself – to tide you over until we open again.
