FARM MARKET

Farmers Market Rolls Out the Red Carpet for

Patrons at Bethesda ES this Morning

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive!!!

This is Week 3 of Bethesda Central Farm Market's 2012 season at Bethesda Elementary School. Here are a few helpful advisories from BCFM about today's market:

* Please park at Bethesda Library on Arlington Road, or in Public Parking Garage 40 on St. Elmo Avenue, and walk to the market, if you can do so.

* Those who cannot walk, or refuse to, are welcome to park in the Bethesda ES lot. BCFM urges you to drive cautiously, out of concern for children who are attending events inside the school during market hours.

* Starting this morning, those who park at the library or garage WILL NOT HAVE TO CARRY THEIR PURCHASES BACK TO THEIR CAR (unless they wish to!). BCFM is offering a new Valet Bag service. Simply leave your bags at the info tent, walk back to your car, drive to the inner parking area, and valets will bring your bags to the car.

At today's market, Pong's Orchards, Sababa Falafel, Fresh Crunch and Bethesda/Whole Foods favorite Cava make their 2012 debuts at the market.
