Harrisonburg Farmers Market

Why do I love my farmer's market? The produce is fresh, local, mostly organically grown, of many varieties, delicious. I can find most of our food needs there: eggs, cheese, bread, meat, fruit, veggies, herbs, sweets. And non-food items such as locally made soap, cards, and gifts; and nearly-food items like seedlings for my own garden! The atmosphere is lively and happy under our new pavilion (which my stone-mason husband helped build). When I want a large quantity of tomatoes or onions for salsa-making, I call one or more vendors to see who has boxes of seconds waiting for the right customer. I love knowing the people who grow our food, both at market and around town. My young daughters feel safe at market, and are developing their own relationships with favorite vendors. We are very pleased to be able to support our friends and neighbors in their business ventures at the Harrisonburg Farmer's Market!!
