Reviews for: Heathsville Farmers Market

We need to help support our local farm families and to have places where they can unite and share all types of things, its a win/win deal.

It is just awesome! I spend my weekends in Northumberland and the farmers market is a real treat!

Local farm families with children in 4-H are an inspiration to all who browse & buy at the Heathsville Farmers Market.

For all the "green" reasons. Freshness of the produce. Most is organic. Promotes biodiversity. Like to buy local, support local producers, artisans. Reduce transportation costs. Less carbon footprint. But also because it offers community cohesiveness. Tourism and vacationers are a big part of our local economy - visitors love it and it gives them a positive image of our community. It's good for everybody!

I really enjoy the atmosphere. Everyones ever-s0 friendly. Especially that couple that have the "Heathsville Chickens", and all thier other great asortment of canned foods.YUMMY! GETS MY MOUTH ALL WET JUST THINKING ABOUT THEM! LOL

Love the fresh veggies and all the crafts. There are wonderful demonstrations on by gone crafts and ways of life. Always something interesting to see.

wide variety of products, fresh produce, always some type of attraction each month..and good people!

A wonderful place with the best crafts and the people you will ever know. It does not get better than this.

As a member of the Tavern Woodworkers Guild it has been an excellent money raiser for a fledgling organization that needs money to bup equiplent.

This market has everything in an antique setting of an 18th century tavern. Fresh produce, handmade articles, local pets get adopted, antiques jewelry, plus local organizations and flowers.

It is a fabulous place run by dedicated volunteers. A true asset to the community.

Because it is a lot of fun, has great vendors, exciting events, very well organized and the people are wonderful. It is truly a community market a place to met and see your friends.

Really good fresh produce and a nice variety of other products and activities makes the Heathsville Farmer's Market a great place to spend a Saturday morning.

Good community involvement. Great place for small vendors. Non-profits share needed information. Good programs.

A great addition to our rural community. Besides haviung good stuff buy, it brings neighbors and vendors together in a healthy way.

It is what you expect and want from a farmer's market. Fresh produce with many choices of fruits, vegtables, etc., wonderful healthy shrubs and flowers to landscape your yard, farm animals, many more vendors to make purchases for yourself or give as gifts. You can come to the Heathsville Farmers Market and have breakfast, lunch, meet friendly people, and go home with great purchases and memories.

I believe it is the best Farmers Market because it has such a variety of things to buy and see and learn about. So many helpful, friendly and enthusiastic volunteers that put on this market each month. It has great produce & plants which I believe is the most important part of a farmers market! Oh yeah! The food is great too!!!!

It is one of the most looked forward to of my summer activities; It has been ever changing with monthly aactivities with different themes, far more interesting and well run than other markets I have attended in the area.

The Tavern Foundation gives a lot to the community and it is a pleasure to support them!

I am new to the Farmer's Market. As a new member to the Northern Neck Community I want to support local produce, plants, the farmers and local vendors. Fresh locally grown vegetables, beef, pork, eggs, etc are a must for us. I have also enjoyed the organic clothing, and bedding from one of the vendors.

The officers and members of the Foundation go all out to provide the community with this terrific market. There is always an extra themed attraction for attendees that provides education about local enterprises, activities and groups that are in the Northern Neck. The local produce, plants and other products are very popular with visitors and the merchants make everyone feel welcome. This a well run diverse market that is a valuable asset to the community.

Because I support local, fresh and healthy foods and the Heathsville Farmer's Market supports local farmers as well as other historical and educational programs.

The Heathsville Farmers' Market has grown through the efforts of the community. I am familiar with the Heathsville Farmers' Market since it began. It gives local farmers and other vendors a unique opportunity to market their goods and provides a wonderful source of fresh food, flowers and other quality items to the local community.

Shopping at Heathsville Farmer's Market supports real local farmers here in our rural area. Kids can come out and learn about history in the civil war encampment, discover interesting facts about chickens and other pets or livestock, and enjoy a fresh made lemon limeade while watching the blacksmith. One can take home locally made goat's milk soap and fresh veggies grown right here in the Northern Neck.

The market is Well organized, friendly people-staff, vendors & the shoppers, variety of activities each month, variety of vendors

Best place to find really good, fresh, delicious produce, as well as other products. It is a gathering place for people from all over our rural area.

While not the first in the area, this market has grown to be the very best! With the Hughlett's Tavern complex next door, there is always plenty to see and do. The vendors always have the best products and are the friendliest around. Place my vote here!!

This market started as a fairly small event and has grown into a real community center each month. There are excellent foods and goods for sale, and there are excellent themes of the market each month.

I like supporting the local farmers and also, I love fresh vegetables and fruits. It also gives local vendors to display their wares. The Heathsville Market is very well attended. It shows that people love what is there.

Living in a very rural area it is hard to get good fresh local items-Heathsville Farmer's market supplies that very need-wonderfully

As President of the Friends of the Northumberland Public Library, I support the Heathsville Farmers Market, because it supports us. The venue is perfect. The vendors are varied. Best of all, people attend and help us raise money for the library.

I was one of the original rangers back in early 90's and have watched the tremendous support and dedication of many fine people make the dream we all had come alive and continue to grow. My career does not allow me to be closely involved now but I'm so proud of each and every volunteer and those who have taken leadership rolls. The Northern Neck is a true treasure and this market compliments it's history, charm and future growth.

The Heathsville Farmer's Market has become the most significant event in our community. In addition to the fresh produce and hand-made items that are available, there are always additional special events that teach us more about the interests and skills available in our rural community

Ellen Hollows is the best person, the nicest person to know. Heathsville is a growing market, and even with its' recent setback, is still the best place to go in the northern neck!

great vendors, great management, great venue, a different theme every month, in one of the most charming places on earth--the Northern Neck of Virginia

Great market, great vendors. Supports local historical attractions in the area. Varity of products each month. Always something new.

There's always something new along with the many vendors that I'm beginning to look for.

The vendors are great! They know their products and are always friendly, helpful, and happy to share information. Love going to it!!

Rice's Tavern Historical Society has done a great job of starting and building this market to serve our rural tidewater area. They keep improving the facillty and most recently added a covered pavilion to the grounds. It even has an indoor restroom. Many of the markets have a theme to attract more attendees, making for more sales for the vendors. In general they try to have at least 80% of the items for sale either made or grown by the vendor. It's a dog and people friendly market, which also has many FREE spaces for community non profit organizations.

Superb local produce and chemical-free, free-range meat and poultry plus excellent local vendors of organic clothing, hand-made jewelry, fine baked goods, glass and wood working, embroidery and pottery, and paintings. Well administered and tidy; great place to bring friends and catch up with neighbors, shop, enjoy light refreshments.

because they are very in tune the needs of the vendors and are always looking for way to make the market better for both vendors and customers.

They work very hard to get great vendors and have a marvelous mix of vendors. Plus each month they come up with neat ideas for entertainment at the market that has the clientele participate in if they want to.

There's a wide variety of vendors, from local farmers to fine artists and woodworkers. A generous number of spaces for local nonprofit entities. Ready access to information, refreshments, and necessity facilities. The sponsors of the market do a great job with program planning and publicity.

Everyone associated with the "Heathsville Farmer's Market": The Large Amount of Volunteers, The Vendors & The Customers are Outstanding!!! A truly wonderful, entertaining & productive market to attend or be a special part of!!!

I live locally and extend my support to all of our local farmers and business. I wish them all well!!!

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.
