Heathsville Farmers Market

This market is a partnership between the county government and a nonprofit foundation dedicated to preserving an old colonial courthouse tavern, circa 1795. The monthly market on the tavern grounds features local produce, livestock, artisanal meat and other food products, and a wide array of crafts, and is a community gathering place where local nonprofits can reach their constituents and supporters. The market features cultural events such as wine tastings, civil war reenactors, quilt galas, spinners, weavers, blacksmiths, pet days, YMCA kids' days with fun rides and games, and much more. Only five years old, the market has grown by leaps and bounds, and attracts visitors to the area as well as residents of this and several surrounding counties. It has truly become again the social center that it was in colonial times.
