• 1 Orange Juice Vendor - anything better than the smell & taste of fresh-squeezed OJ?

• The City of Alexandria's Composting initiative:  Bring in your compost and the city creates dirt!

        
If gathering up some of the most delicious and fresh, just picked, just-baked food to be found in the West End was not enough, your market also sponsors local crafters and artisans. 

Need a gift?– Need a little treat?  Just want to be enticed by design and color?  Stroll through the market.  Our artisans work hard to provide stunning displays of:

Jewelry;  candles;  soaps;  lotions;  clever stationary;  photos;  pottery;  woodworking; toys; clothing- for children & adults;  scarves;  terrariums;  placemats; runners and home goods.  

Adding to the fun your market invites local non-profits, and government agencies to set up a table and talk to the people their agency serves, face-to-face.   A regular at our market is the Alexandria Bike and Ride Department.  You will love them.  They give away free biking/hiking maps and sometime biking goodies as well.  Your local Beatley Librarians come every Sunday to advertise their multiple events AND sell books for a dollar.  Book lovers – what better place to sit and read with a scone or muffin and coffee than under a shady tree in the park?  You never know what other agencies and non-profits might show up at the market.  Walk down every Sunday and check it out.

Your local market is a great place to eat well and have fun!
