Farmers Market at Ix, Oct. 10, 2026

9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. 522 Second St. SE, Charlottesville VA 22902

It looks like we will squeak by with a market tomorrow before the rain from the hurricane gets here. We did decide to cancel the Starr Hill Market that usually occurs on Sunday. That market is not large enough to withstand a large attrition of vendors.

This week at the Market at Ix, we have a solid line-up, with most farm and food vendors ready to attend. Stock up on healthy produce, meats, eggs, bread and the staples, both for a possible long day indoors on Sunday, for Columbus Day, and for school lunches and meals next week.

Have a hearty breakfast from Mexican Tacos, Ambrosia quiches and egg based dishes, Bomonti and Sweet Home Desserts for stuffed crepes and waffles, SFG Foods for Texas fusion egg and meat dishes, Hog Haven for home grown pork sandwiches on English muffins, Rum Punch for Jamaican breakfast and meals, Afrika Moto Cuisine for hearty Congolese meals, Oakshire for pork biscuits with a modern twist, Hands Off Maria for bean, cheese or chicken tamales and pupusas, The Pie Guy for warm hand pies, sweet or savory. Breakfast or brunch may also include bake goods, of which the market has plenty of options: Turkish, to Greek, to SE Asian, to Iranian, to Syrian, Afghani, and American styles, gluten free and/or vegan. Don’t forget the Dutch Stroopwafels,

We welcome Flossie’s Farmstead who is coming over from the Starr Hill Market since it is cancelled. There is also a generous range of crafts this week as well.

Mark you calendars for the Starr Hill Market Field Day on October 25, from 9:30 to 2:00 at the Jefferson School City Center. If you haven’t attended the Starr Hill Market, it’s a good time to try it.

Thanks all, see you at the markets.
