Fantastic news!!!

The wait is over for York County residents, who have eagerly anticipated what will become of the nearly completed building on Route 17 that was originally intended as a Beale's brewpub. On Friday, The Virginia Beer Company signed a lease for the property with developer Waukeshaw, parent company of the Beale’s brand.

This month, the First Lady spotlights ‘Virginia Farmers Market Month’ – a time to recognize these vibrant community hubs that support local economies and sustainable agriculture. Providing fresh produce and more while connecting consumers directly with the hardworking farmers, these markets promote food security, healthy eating, and small businesses.

Over the years this is the sentiment that has resonated with market operators over and over again.

Farmers markets don't just happen without MARKET OPERATORS. While no two farmers markets are the same, all farmers markets are managed and require huge amounts of work behind the scenes to thrive. From navigating local laws and codes, building vendor relationships, troubleshooting technical issues, marketing, and physically setting up the market. Markets continue to put in the effort to better themselves in order to support their communities from innovating new nutrition incentive programs and supporting farmers, to partnering with outside organizations to foster more inclusive and equitable spaces for all members of their communities. The culture of farmers markets is changing, and that’s thanks to farmers market operators who seek to foster markets as community hubs and move the narrative of farmers markets beyond the status quo.

Farmers markets don't just happen without VENDORS. Farmers, ranchers, artisans and other producers make up the vast network of people who rely on farmers markets for their economic livelihoods. Vendors make up the heart and character of every market and it's thanks to their dedication to farm-direct outlets that farmers markets serve as a hub for local food systems in communities across the country.

Farmers markets don't just happen without CUSTOMERS. Every single person who supports a farmers market is helping the market thrive! Without visitors who come out (rain or shine, baby!) farmers markets could not come back week after week. Farmers markets are truly a collective affair and wouldn't be possible without every single community member.

While the magic often happens behind the scenes, this we'd love to hear about the people, programs, partners, etc, that pull together to make your market happen! Drop some appreciation in the comments or tag us in your posts! 💚

And we have a great selection Yorktown Market Days!!

Today is National Watermelon Day..do you know how much water it contains?

Each bite of watermelon contains about 92 percent water and 6 percent sugar. Despite being mostly water with a bit of sugar, watermelon is considered a very healthy snack. Its high water content helps keep you hydrated.

Did you know that experts believe that the watermelon could date back at least 5,000 years? Archaeologists have found ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that show the first watermelon being harvested.
Fun Fact: So just how far can someone spit a watermelon seed? Pretty far! Jason Schaynot of Georgetown, Texas, holds the world record. In 1995, he spit a watermelon seed an incredible 78 feet 6 inches! WOW......
