Our Centreville market in the CentreView newspaper

The CentreView newspaper ran a great article about our market at Trinity Center in Centreville, which runs from 3:30–6:30 p.m. every Friday. With our shoppers talking about what they buy at the market, the article really shows the variety of foods and goods our vendors offer.

On a recent Friday, Danielle and Rich Endler of Centreville’s Stonehenge community shopped at the Centreville market for the first time. They bought kettle corn, zucchini, squash, onions, beans “and a whole bunch of meat,” said Rich. “We got bratwurst, marinated pork steaks, bologna loaf and a Hawaiian sausage — dinner for a week. We’ll definitely come back again; it’s local and the same prices as the supermarkets — and here, you know where it comes from.”

Choosing green beans from a large array, Joanne Beale of Centreville’s Xanadu Estates community was delighted with the fresh produce. Her husband Skip, meanwhile, bought a bottle of raspberry Merlot dessert wine. Said Beale: “We had it at Red Rock Canyon recently and loved it.”

Geoff and Leslie Howard of Sully Station came to the market for their second time. “We’re going to get our entire dinner here,” said Geoff.
