The new Gateway Farmers Market is moving indoors this winter.

On the second and fourth Saturdays of the month, the farmers market will be located inside the miXt food hall at 3809 Rhode Island Ave. in Brentwood from 9 a.m. to noon. This Saturday, several hundred customers stopped by.

The indoor market features a rotating group of some of the same vendors — Sharrah Orchards, Riverdale Park’s Manifest Bread, Tae-Gu Kimchi and Tenth Ward Distilling, among others — plus miXt vendors such as La Michoacána tacos, the Burger Shop and Flames & Cones. There’s also an art class for kids.

Some of the regular farmers don’t participate because they don’t grow enough during the winter months, while others don’t want to offer something already on sale at miXt.

“MiXt is a fantastic host partner because they have a wonderful open space with tons of casual seating, so it’s really social and family-friendly,” said farmers market founder Megan Abbot. Especially with the donation-based art & play program, it’s a good destination for families with kids during these cold months.”

The event began with a pop-up on Saturday, Jan. 11. It went so well that Abbot and her husband, Gary Hall, decided to keep it running on every other Saturday through the end of March.

The outdoor market at the Bunker Hill fire station parking lot at 3716 Rhode Island Ave. will return on April 5. The remaining Market Re-miXt dates are: Feb. 8, Feb. 22, March 8 and March 22.
