Dish wants to remind folks that the Earlysville Farmers Market, in only its second year of business, is now open on Thursdays from 4pm to 7pm, offering local produce, eggs, fruits, plant starters, cut flowers, orchids, homemade salsa, bagels, various sweets, wine, local artisan wares, fragrant and nourishing lotions, and more. The market will be at Earlysville Green for another week, but then it will move to the Buck Mountain Parish parking lot on May 27. Both locations are about two miles west of the airport.
