Byrd House Market to Start Selling on May 4th

The Birdhouse Farmers Market returns for its 15th season on Tuesday, May 4th from 3:00 to 6:30 pm (rain or shine), in the space between the Randolph Community Pool and Petronius Jones Park, at 1507 Grayland Avenue.

 

This season the market will continue to adhere to social distancing protocols, enforcing spacing regulations between vendors and requiring vendors to wear masks and gloves.

 

In an effort to minimize the duration of the market shopping trip for our customers and to provide food access to as many people in the community as possible, Birdhouse Market will continue to offer online ordering. Buying pages will go live on Thursday morning and close on early Monday morning each week. Walk-up shopping without pre-ordering will also be available, but market management is asking customers to wear a mask, limit their time at the market, practice social distancing for the health of our customers, vendors, and volunteers, and please leave pets at home.

 

Approximately 19 Birdhouse Farmers Market vendors will be selling Virginia-grown produce, cut flowers, meat, specialty baked goods, and more each week.

 

The best way to keep track of weekly activities is to visit our website where you can subscribe to the weekly Birdhouse Market Newsletter, and to follow the market on Facebook and Instagram.

 

“Every spring we get so excited about the return of our in-person market. Despite the pandemic, Birdhouse Farmers Market has shopping alternatives that allow everyone to fully participate, including our SNAP customers. Feeding Richmond well; it’s what we do.”  Kate Ruby, Market Manager
