The Blacksburg Farmer's Market not only provides us with high quality local food and products, it also has an important social function as a great meeting place for friends and family in the community. It is one of the best things about living here!

It's locally grown produce and locally crafted items sold by lovely people from our community. The farmers market brings people together and is a "must" for our community. I enjoy going there and supporting our locals!

It's about community and quality of life! There is a real focus on expanding the organic offering for fruits, veggies and meats; not to mention the educational aspect by being able to talk to the person who produced the food that you eat.

We are a small community, but progressive, full of love and old-fashioned neighborhood spirit. The farmers market is THE place in town to meet up with friends, support local businesses and fill our tummies with the right stuff!

Where else can you buy beautiful locally grown and organic foods while chatting with the local farmers and run into just about everyone you know? I LOVE our Farmer's Market and even set an alarm some Saturdays to make sure I get some of the wonderful eggs before they sell out!

I love seeing the people there every week, and I love the passion that the "farmers" have for their product. We have great growers plus craftspeople making things like cheeses, bread, woodcrafts, etc.

I appreciate and want to support all the local growers and producers of produce, meat and eggs who use the market as an outlet for their goods. They are an important part of our community, not only bringing us ezcellent food, but also keeping the land on which they raise their plants and animals open, nourished and un"developed".
