Choy Wun Lion Dance Performance this Sunday + Feature Article by one of Field to Table's Market Assistants!
January 18th

Field to Table hosts four local farmers markets in the Arlington, Virginia area that provide goods grown, harvested, or produced within 125 miles of the markets. We are committed to providing fresh, high-quality products while facilitating a welcoming community atmosphere.
For Sunday, January 18th
This Sunday at 11AM! See a Performance by the Choy Wun Lion Dance Troupe!
The Westover Farmers Market is excited to welcome the Year of the Horse with a special visit from Choy Wun Lions!
Choy Wun is a local non-profit dedicated to promoting Chinese culture through the art of Lion Dance. The team has prepared a special performance filled with acrobatics, live music, and a wealth of good fortune to ring in the new year. Be sure to stop by their table and pick up a zine!

Vendor Spotlight: 💚 Linda’s Microgreens 🌱
Linda’s Microgreens is a small family business in Falls Church offering many varieties of ultra-fresh microgreens, all grown in rich organic soil and harvested within the last 24 hours before you buy them! Their goal is to help our community enjoy healthier living through clean, flavorful greens. Go say hi and try a free sample!
What they enjoy most is being part of a community that values local, fresh, and healthy food. Getting to introduce people to microgreens and hearing their feedback every week is incredibly rewarding.
Fan favorite: Their most popular items are our broccoli microgreens and our spicy microgreen mix! Especially if you want to add a kick to your favorite meals!
Sustainability measures: Their microgreens come in recycled post-consumer RPET containers — a small but meaningful way they stay environmentally friendly!

Weekly Scavenger Hunt Activity!
Each week, we post a challenge for you all to find chalk drawings of fruits or veggies scattered around the market. Find all of them, and come to the market table for a stamp on your punch card (provided there). Once you get 6 stamps (you get one per week), you get a prize!
The weekly challenge will be posted in the newsletter and Instagram, which can be found, here!
