Love markets, just moved to area, Woodbridge
Just hit opening day at the Annandale farmer’s market, and I’m so glad I did. Pleased to see several new vendors as well as friendly, familiar faces. The strawberries are the stuff of dreams right now, and Yumi Asian Fusion might become a bit of a habit.
