family fun every Saturday
JOIN DPFM'S POP CLUB
Look for the POP Club tent at the market Saturdays 9a-noon! POP Club provides a fun opportunity for children to engage in our local food system through fun crafts, conversations directly with farmers, educational games and demonstrations, exposure to new fruits and vegetables and learn about the importance of buying local produce.
Join the Two Bite Club! Take two bites of the fruit or veggie of the week & receive $2 in POP Bucks to spend on produce at the market! The Two Bite Club is a great way to expose a child to new produce as well as engage with the farmers who grow it!
join us for fresh foods and family fun throughout the market season - check out our schedule ⬇️

NONPROFIT OF THE WEEK AT THE MARKET
DPFM is pleased to highlight weekly a local non-profit community organization in the space adjacent to the information table at the entrance to the market. If you are interested in sharing your message at the market, email us with your request.
Keep in mind that these featured non-profits are limited to those that have a direct connection to our Varina and greater Henrico community, expand upon our mission or highlight the conservation or healthy living focus of DPFM.
From time-to-time, other non-profit groups and similar organizations may request space to participate on market day. Just as the non-profit invited to participate as the weekly featured non-profit, these groups will be limited to those with a local connection to our community. These groups will be considered and accompanied strictly on a space-available basis at the discretion of the DPFM.
Did you know that you can ride your bike directly to the market? Not only is it fun, it is a great way to stay active. Check out the Virginia Capital Trail - learn more about this amazing community asset and how you can get involved.
Dorey Park is the largest park in Henrico and a great community resource! Located on 400 acres, it features numerous ball fields, playgrounds, picnic shelters, a dog park, a fishing pond, walking trails, a disc golf course & much more!
