If all goes according to plan, the Rappahannock Farmers Market will begin operations on May 1 next door to the new site of the Farmers Cooperative on Route 211, just outside the town of Washington.
Organizers of the market culminated months of effort by reaching tentative agreement on occupancy with Flatwood Trust, owners of the property. A lease is being worked out and will have to be approved by both the Farmers Market and Flatwood Trust representatives before arrangements are finalized, according to Farmers Market president Truman Keesey.
“In the community, enthusiasm about the market is running high, and every day more producers and craftspeople indicate interest in participating,” said Keesey. “Likewise, as starting time approaches, there is increasing consumer interest both in Rappahannock and outside the county.”
A special meeting will be held Tuesday, March 13, ht 7:30 p.m. in the Washington Baptist Church to accept applications and membership dues for the market. Seasonal memberships will be S25.
