At this week’s Council worksession, the City Council will consider extending the proposed downtown food truck hub until midnight.

College Park Ventures LLC received City support for a food truck hub located in Downtown College Park at the former Little Tavern site, at the intersection of Route 1 and Lehigh Road. Operation of this hub is expected to commence on September 2 with two trucks. The hours of operation of this hub were proposed to be 11:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday through Sunday.

Based on new County Council legislation (CB-48-2016) recently approved, food truck hubs are permitted to operate until midnight with approval from the municipality in which they reside as well as the County Council Member representing the area. College Park Ventures LLC is requesting a letter of support from the City to operate the downtown food truck hub until 12:00 am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

In addition, College Park Ventures LLC proposes to operate a second food truck hub in the University of Maryland M Square Research Park Monday through Wednesday from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm.

Tomorrow at the Market

In Farmer's Market, Hollywood Farmers Market

Vol. 2 Issue 14 – August is National Peach Month…

…and that’s perfect for a farmers market! Both Calvert Farms and Valencia Produce have peaches galore! Why wait until next weekend? Start enjoying those peaches now. 🙂

A little peachy-keen facts:
– Peaches were originally from China. It was Spanish explorers who brought peaches to America in the 1600’s.
-Georgia is known as the “Peach State” but most peaches are grown in California so they can be available almost year round.
-Peaches are a good source of vitamins A and C. They are fat free, cholesterol free and sodium free.
-The two main varieties of peaches are the Freestone and the Clingstone. The pit is easy to remove in a Freestone while a little more difficult in a Clingstone.
-Nectarines are a type of peach but have smooth skin without the fuzz.
-Have you ever tried a grilled peach? Here is an amazing recipe: Halve the peaches (remove pit); brush with melted butter; grill on each side 4-5 minutes; enjoy.
