Limited-Supply ‘Lopes and a Band Called Brûlée at the Riverdale Park Farmers Market

Vendors offer exclusive produce and jazz-infused music at today's market.

Delicious treats and a band that takes its name from a dessert will be at today’s farmers market in Riverdale Park.

The market will also begin to accept nutritional assistance checks, including SNAP (formerly food stamps), WIC, Seniors, and Fruit & Vegetable checks at this week’s market. The Riverdale Park Farmers Market became one of the first in the county to accept SNAP benefits, which enable low-income families to purchase groceries, earlier this summer.

Stop by the town center parking lot Thursday from 3-7 p.m. for the Riverdale Park Farmers Market.
