Come rain, wind, sunshine, earthquake or hurricane - we will be open for business! Well, if the hurricane decides to hurry up and move in earlier in the day on Saturday, we may end up having to cancel the market, but as of right now - we are planning to be open!  This week, we still have fresh corn on the cob, butter beans, green beans, heritage melons and cantaloupes, beets, peppers (including specialty varieties), tomatillas, cucumbers, tomatoes (slicing, cherries, Romas & CANNING tomatoes), zucchini, a variety of summer squashes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, potatoes, spring onions, leaks, eggplant,  watermelons, fresh herbs and a few peaches. We have a great selection of meats, including grass-fed beef, pastured pork, lamb and poultry. We’ll have cheese this week from Night Sky Farm- come and try a sample! Our selection of baked goods includes breads, muffins, specialty cookie, focaccia, pies, quiches and even pizza crusts! We also have honey, candy, homemade spices, nuts, jams, jellies, local wines, and lots of other delicious Virginia Grown items available at My Manakin Market! What makes us unique?  We are PRODUCER ONLY and support sustainably raised produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, and true artisan crafts!  Check out What's In Season now!  Come early for best selection!

And don’t forget to check out ChiknEGG’s Systern Rain Barrels and Earth Machine Composters!  Pricing on the Rain Barrels and Composters are going UP in September.  Why not pick up one Saturday - save money while you save water and reduce landfill waist all at the same time!  We have some beautiful cut flowers and plants for sale, too, so make sure to take home a bouquet to brighten up your home or office!

Kid's - come and see what critters Christopher and Annabelle, our Local Agrarian Critter Corner farmers in training, will have at the market for you to pet and visit with!  Christoper and Annabelle will be happy to show you their farm critters and share their knowledge with young and old(er) market shoppers!  They have a few things for sale that they have made themselves and are donating a portion of their proceeds to charity animal rescue groups!  We are very proud of these young, forward-thinking agrarians!
