Mothers Day at Farmers Market at Ix, May 9, 2026
Market Hours: 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Location: Ix Art Park, 522 Second St. SE, Charlottesville, VA
Moms and Families,
It will be a great day to spend your morning treating Mom to breakfast, finding a gift from the many flower growers and talented artists at the market (check instagram or facebook for a list), or sourcing fresh local produce for your special meal. Produce this week includes greens of all kinds including spinach, bok choy, lettuces, mustards, parsley and celantro; beets, cucumbers, cole crops, carrots, and greenouse tomatoes. Strawberries reign supreme with crops from at least 4 growers. They are fresh and just picked. Cut flowers and garden plants are available throughout the market. Now that we have a stable year-round market, growers are investing more in greenhouse crops.
Get your last taste of Greek cuisine until late summer. Ambrosia will be taking off for the summer; and Cloud 9 is out for the day. Other bakers have plenty to offer for sweet and savory treats. We hope by now you have discovered Little Hat Creek has resumed baking this year. Returning for the first time this year is Gillispie’s County Line Farm and Perennial Love Botanicals is popping up with native plants for the garden planting season. The Patient Sawyer is bringing cutting boards to add to the artists’ selections.
All in all, there is plenty to choose from for Mothers Day weekend.

Thank you, see you at the market.
