Gardening blog looks at Lakeside Market

Peter and Sharon Francisco, who own the Lakeside Farmers’ Market, wanted to build community support while improving the appearance of Lakeside Avenue. The Market has a small town feeling where the vendors know their customers’ first name, though it is located at Lakeside Towne Center. Sharon told me that the vectors love their customers at the Market because the customers are so appreciative and some even thank the vectors for coming. This isn’t something that you can find at a larger scale Farmers’ Market.

Seeing the produce makes my mouth water and actually makes me want to eat my vegetables. Each session will include as many as 11 vendors to provide Henrico residents with home-grown, healthy produce…

… The market is open May through November on Wednesdays and Saturdays. On Wednesdays, it is open for two sessions from 8 a.m. to noon and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays will be open from 8 a.m. to noon.
