THE
Farmer's Row
At the Riverside Arts Market, enjoy the harvest of the agricultural arts by supporting Florida farmers. Pick up the freshest local produce of the week, with some of it coming from Jacksonville! To remain sustainable, farmer\'s depend on your weekly purchases, so come for the freshest and stay for the fun. Our community benefits from all of us staying \"loyal to local.\"
RAM farmers also welcome Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients by accepting EBT and WIC Farmer\'s Markets Nutrition Program Coupons. RAM also partners with Feeding Florida\'s Fresh Access Bucks Program to provide an EBT incentive which matches dollar for dollar for SNAP purchases per market day. To learn more on how to shop the market with your SNAP money, visit us every Saturday from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
FIRST
Saturday Brews
Every first Saturday of the month enjoy First Saturday Brews @ RAM. Drink your favorite craft beer or try different craft beers from around Florida!

What’s your song of the summer??
We connected with some of our vendors and here is what they’ve been listening to! Just like art, music connects us all and can help us get to feeling right or express our current mood.
Need a reminder that you’re doing a good job? Feeling sad? Celebrating something? Music is there for you!
Stick around and see what other makers are listening to for part ✌️

La Vida Loca forever 🙌
Thank you everyone who came out and joined us today for Football Spirit Day and saying our Final Farewell to our Market Director, John Silveira.
You may often see us use the term “RAMily” and it’s partially due to this guy right here. His favorite story to tell goes back to when he first joined the market and asked “What does RAM sell?” He was told fruits and vegetables, art and so on but through his eyes it was an Experience.
An experience not for just for our guests but for our vendors and with that notion we’ve been able to become the market you see today.
So John, thank you for all the work you have done, keep playing “La Vida Loca” and enjoy retirement! We’ll see you soon but this time as a guest (of honor)💛

Shout out to our fearless leader, John Silveira, for winning the Community Impact Award for this year’s @moreartculture Art Awards!!! 🥳🎉
For the last 8 years, John has been an integral part of the market and really paved the path to get us to be the market we are today. Through his years of experience working with farmers markets in California and his true passion of supporting and championing the artists and small businesses we support, this award is so deserving as we spend our final two weeks with John before he retires at the end of this month.
We are so excited and can’t wait to celebrate John and all the other winners at the Art Awards in October!
Today is our Back-to-School event 🍎 and we’re celebrating the incredible work that teachers do!
Helping us is @haymakercoffee who is giving away $200 worth of coffee (mix of k-cups + bagged) to one lucky teacher or classroom 🙌
Stop by today and fill out a paper slip to nominate or click the linkin.bio and go to our post to fill out our online form. The nomination period will end next Wednesday, 8/21. The winner will be randomly selected, announced and contacted by RAM Staff!

If that doesn’t get you excited about sourcing your food locally, here are some fun facts about the Farmers Community:
🥕 Buying directly from farmers ensures your getting the freshest and highest dose of nutrients as most harvest their produce the morning of a market!
🥬 Better taste: because your buying local produce, you’re bound to get better tasting and texture out of your haul thanks the to often use of natural fertilizers rather than harmful pesticides.
🧑🌾 Communtiy Building: When you buy local, you know exactly who the Farmer(s) are and where it’s coming from. You can ask questions, get to the grower, and make a better connection with the food you eat!
Join us this Saturday, August 10 as we celebrate our Farmers like @abundantharvestsfarm, @alvarezfarms, @congareeandpenn and @preservingnaturefarm to name a few and thank them for the incredible work they do!

Disability 🤝 Accessability
We had so much fun last Saturday celebrating Disability Pride Month! From dancing with our featured band, the Flashbacks, to getting to see arts and crafts galore, to learning everything we need to know from our vendors, it was a RAM day to never forget! This event offered a platform for advocacy and awareness for our guests to share their stories and shed light on the importance of inclusivity and accessibility in the arts. We also learned more about the strides being made towards a more inclusive society and the work that still lies ahead.
Thank you to all of our special vendors and groups who joined us for the event and thank you to everyone who supported them! If you want to learn more from them, visit their tagged pages to get in touch.

For every $100 spent at local businesses, $68 stays within the community, compared to just $43 when spent a chain store.
When you shop locally, you are not only supporting these businesses, but your economy! RAM is the perfect place to help in more ways than one!
Every Saturday from 10:00am-3:00pm visit the Riverside Arts Market and support our local vendors!
