Manakin Market Farmers Market
We have another GVA Rock Painting Party this week! Bring the kids from 10-12 to paint rocks to take and hide! Chef Minh of delish360 is once again offering her delicious handmade waffles and ice cold Vietnamese Coffee, and Friedman Challah is offering hot, fresh French toast to order. Summer produce is abundant and beautiful! In addition, we have beautiful hanging baskets & vegetable plant starts, pastured meats, cheese, baked goods, honey, fine artisan crafts, hand-crafted soaps, locally produced fiber and textiles and much more! Empandada.com has hot, homemade Empanadas, and NarWhals Rolled Ice Cream is rolling out homemade ice creme to order, so come hungry! Doug James will be returning to the market to entertain us.
 
We have two of our sponsors visiting us this Saturday - Richmond Window (also known as Renewal by Anderson), and Bath Fitters.  We hope you'll visit with them both to see how they can help make your home even better, and thank them while you're there for supporting our market!
   

We have FREE kid's activities at the picnic tables, as always. We're open from 9am-1pm on Saturday!  See you there!

Market Sponsorships

Our markets are run by paid staff and governed by an all-volunteer board.  We operate without any county, state or federal funding. We rely solely on vendors fees, sponsorships and fundraising efforts to run our seasonal and pop-up markets and low cost/no-cost educational programs. 

We are specifically looking for:  a Real Estate Agent, an Insurance Agent, and another company or organization that can support our Chef at the Market program.

Find out how your company or organization can benefit by supporting the mission of RVAg!  Click here for details, or contact Lisa Dearden for more information.

What's UP?

RVAg, the 501(c)(3) non-profit that owns and operates both Manakin Market and Goochland Fairground Farmers Market, is a GREAT place for new farmers and local artists to incubate their emerging businesses. We are still accepting applications for the 2017 Market Season. If you, or someone you know, would like to apply, please use our convenient ONLINE application!  In the meantime, we hope to see you at one or both of our markets next week!
