It's a Beautiful Day for Market

Govanstowne Farmers Market

Wednesdays // 5104 York Road // 3-6pm

One of the best things about our market is the sense of community we create on our market parking lot each week. Together we gather to #GrowCommunity. As we emerge from the pandemic, seeing our neighbors has been one of the most joyful experiences.

We're grateful for community leaders like 4th District Councilman Mark Conway, local York Road Partnership leaders, and Community Schools leaders and staff like local Principals who give of their time (and often money) to support the growth of the market and our community. We hope you'll join us.

See you at market!
Marie, GFM Market Manager

Information & New Vendors at Market this Week

This week at market:

Govans Elementary School will be back at market again this week to share information about their school reconstruction process happening at 5801 York Road and answer questions about enrollment. (That's correct, York Road corridor has two new reconstructed schools, totalling over $100M worth of investment!)

Nutrition Education with Christy Fricks: Stop by for recipes or to learn more about the fresh seasonal produce available at market.

Nguyen will be doing imaginative drawings about what each individual is hiding under their mask. Nguyen has been doing these portraits at Whitehall Market for the AAPI Heritage month celebrations. Visit him by the Youth Area past the pre-order station for your portrait!
