Riverdale Farmers Market is everything a market should be and more. It's fun, it's healthy, it's friendly and it's a neighborhood event. The description of the market on this site is wonderfully accurate, but what is missing is the feeling of community that this market engenders. People look forward to seeing each other week after week. Smiles and laughter, handshakes and hugs - all of this is included free of charge at RPFM. Neighbors hold off grocery shopping because the offerings at the Farmer's Market are superior to anything at any grocery story. Kids go straight to the Market after school. The music is always fun. They even had a ribbon dancer when I was there! Vendors are chatty and personable. There is no downside here!
This market is a gem inside the beltway.
