RT 3 / GORDON ROAD FARMERS' MARKET (SATURDAYS 8am-1pm): Our opening date is April 26th (first weekend after Easter weekend).  Other than special events that might pop up here and there, we'll roll out Abner B's Butterfield Café every Saturday through the end of September.  Same location--centered on the market itself on the downhill end of the lot.  NOTE: The RT 3 summer market actually opens on April 12th, so don't wait up for us if you want to get early produce (and coffee, breads/pastries, meats, plants...)

STAFFORD HOSPITAL FARMERS' MARKET (SUNDAYS 8am-1p):  Our opening date is April 27th (first weekend after Easter weekend).  This will also be a full time market for us except for special events as they come up.  NOTE: The Stafford market opens on April 20th (Easter Sunday).

RETAIL MARKETS (PINTS):  Our pints are available at the Olde Virginia Gourmet (Rt 610 behind Popeye's, Stafford) and the Olde Towne Butcher (William Street, Old Town Fredericksburg).   We have a few others in the works that may also carry our pints this year.

RETAIL MARKETS (BY THE SCOOP):  We are currently working on retail scoop locations.  We expect Westmoreland Berry Farm to be back on board this year.  We have four other guest shops in the works--one in Fairfax, one at MCB Quantico, and two in N. Stafford.

CATERING: In addition to the Purple Cow, we are continuing to roll out our "roll-in" cart that we started taking out at the end of last season.  We're already booking events for either or both. We particular want to work on Employee and Customer appreciation type events in June, July, and August (Fab Fridays?).  We did several awesome events for Rosner Toyota last year, one for the Spotsy Regional Medical Center, and a few Grand Openings.  More info on catered events is on our Events page.

ABNER B SCOOP SHOP #1.  No, not yet, but we are actively looking for a location we can expand into as a scoop shop and/or manufacturing location.  For the time being, we want to stay in Stafford County, but are flexible north or south.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES:  We have three returning scoopologists this year--Ryen, Emily, and Eddie.  We also have a few others we're giving a trial run to.  We're expecting to have more "one-off" events this year and usually have fill-in needs at our farmers' markets.   This summer's core crew will likely be our starting crew for a scoop shop if other things work out.  If you have an interest.... START HERE.
