Manakin Market

Manakin Market Farmers Market

We have another Chef's Demo at Manakin Market this week, featuring Chef Taz! Chef Taz is cooking up a classic Jägerschnitzel!  You never know how it will turn out, cause we use what's fresh and available at the market to make our Chef's Demos fun to watch and the food fun to taste.  You can always pick up your recipe card and do the recipe yourself when you get home!  Our Chef at the Market program is presented this year by Performance Food Group!

Fall produce is coming in strong...in fact, fall is the best time of year for produce! Make sure to stop by the Shirefolk Farms stall for some of their delicious oyster mushrooms!  If you're craving BBQ sauce, don't sweat it!  Even though Uncle Dave will be on vacation the next few weeks, he's left us a supply of his sauces, so come to the Market info booth if you would like to pick up a jar or two (or three)!

We have a huge variety of beautiful fall produce, plus fruits & berries, pastured meats, cheese, baked goods, honey, fine artisan crafts, hand-crafted soaps, chocolates, locally produced fiber and textiles and much more! Empandada.com has hot, homemade Empanadas to go and Friedman Challah is back with their made to order French Toast, so come hungry!  Our friend Clay Walter is returning to the market to entertain us.

We also have FREE kid's activities at the picnic tables, as always.

See you there!
