Corn at the farmers market: It’ll be here before you know it.

Food-to-Table Inc., made up of residents in the Westover neighborhood in Arlington, worked for more than a year to make this farmers market happen. Chair/market manager Rob Swennes expects to carry about 15 vendors. For now, he says the market will be set up on a blocked-off section of North McKinley Road near the Westover Library; a plaza in front can’t quite accommodate the width needed for vendors’ tents and passage.
Vendors include Atwater’s Bakery, Baguette Republic, Black Rock Orchard, Fertile Plains Meats, Greenstone Fields, Gypsy Hill Foods, Lois’s Produce, Ole Pioneer Kitchen, Smith Family Farm and Twin Springs Fruit Farm.
1644 N. McKinley Rd., Arlington. 703-405-8232 (Rob Swennes); westoverfarmersmarket@hotmail.com.
9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays ; 11 a.m.-3p.m. Thursdays, May-November
