I can’t say how happy I am that the Henrico Board of Supervisors approved the opening of a farmer’s market in Lakeside, just north of the Near West End. Now, all I have to do is hope that Charlie and Victory Farms will be a vendor there! A little birdy told me it is likely they will be at the new Lakeside Market.

Henrico An outdoor farmers market is expected to open in Lakeside in May. The Henrico County Board of Supervisors voted this week to approve Peter Francisco’s plan to operate the market from the parking lot of the Lakeside Towne Center, on Lakeside Avenue near Hilliard Road. Francisco, who owns the shopping center with his wife, Sharon, said he expects to have 11 produce vendors. The market season would end Nov. 30.
