Yoga Heights DC Every Saturday a wonderful instructor from Yoga Heights will be at the market to do Yoga starting at 10am. If you would like to contact our group of instructors please email yoga.hollywoodmarket@gmail.com or visit their website http://yogaheightsdc.com/ Victory Chapel Family Farm Victory Chapel Family Farms produces honey in Charles County MD. This is our fifth year of beekeeping. Our bees produce a wildflower honey that is bottled unfiltered and unheated. Because honey is so popular, it’s hard to meet this high demand from local suppliers alone. This is why approximately 70% of the honey consumed in the US is imported. This honey is local raw honey and you’re getting it directly from the beekeeper. We look forward to meeting the customers of Hollywood Farmers Market in College Park. You can find us on Facebook at VictoryChapelHoney. Stone Hearth Bakery A local favorite, Stone Hearth Bakery can be found in many markets around the region and are now a part of our market.
