Farmers Market at Ix, Feb 28, 2026
Market Hours: 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Location: Ix Art Park, 522 Second St. SE Charlottesville
Hello Friends,
Wow, the last day of Feb. already! Daylight saving time starts Mar. 8. The spring market hours will change to 8:00 -12:00 the first market in April, so we have a month to adjust to DST. The farms are slowly returning to the Market. Wayfinders Holistics came back last week, DL Shipp with arts, jams, baked goods and dairy from Mount Crawford creamery has been attending since the snow melted. Thistlerock Meade , and Oakshire will attend, with Chaotic Good Tempeh, and Fermented Fire Hot Sauce. The last two vendors alternate weeks, along with Ryba’s Pierogi. Newer vendors also includes NOK 108 (Matcha tea), Mediterranean Family Foods, and Elroi Bath and Body. We are receiving so many applications to the market- our limited space and time leaves many vendors out. The Starr Hill Market opening Sundays starting on May 17 will help. Is there such a thing as too many farmers at the market? Without an increase in customers, will each farm be able to sell enough? Should we have less arts and non-food items? Customer feedback is always welcome in the comments section below.
One thing we know for sure, the Market at Ix has benefitted greatly from our marketing manager Samantha who is leaving the job this week. Tomorrow will be her last market. If you have enjoyed the many social media posts, newsletters, the website and her presence at the market, thank her an wish her well for whatever comes next.
We’re ready for a little taste of spring, so see you at the market.
