The Wild Ramp is a wonderful market that has opened in Huntington's Heritage Station. The bright and uplifting atmosphere is a joy to encounter and the volunteers that staff the store are warm, friendly folks who are passionate about the mission of the Wild Ramp. It is important to note that this store is staffed by ALL volunteers; this is one of the reasons that this organization is truly part of the community.

The fair and honest approach to the business of bringing consumers and farmers together benefits everyone. The farmers get a fair price for their high quality produce and the customers get fresh, high quality, local produce at reasonable prices. I feel that I must disclose that I am a producer who sells produce at the Wild Ramp. I am also an avid consumer :)

If you have not experienced the Wild Ramp, stop in. They are open year round, Wednesday-Saturday.

The Wild Ramp is an integral part of my community. The access to farm fresh, local produce, artisan and other resources is astounding, but knowing the volunteers in the shop, board members present and behind the scenes, and neighbors who have seen this market to fruition is vital to my quality of life in Huntington. Centering a community around health and service builds a strong network for our family.

The market has seen a tremendous amount of growth since inception and has experienced what I would identify as growing pains. With each new challenge they have found a creative solution. The supply continues to expand, they have introduced volunteer incentives, they have developed positive producer relationships, and have customers that keep coming back for new treasures.

The selection is diverse (honeys, soups, vegetables, jams, chips, pastas, meats, dairy, cards, wool) and surprising (peacock feathers, bamboo stalks, tofu). The location is inviting, as the entire Heritage Station offers an unique shopping experience.

We appreciate the focus on education, community and local economy. I used to wonder why they didn't have snap peas, well, it was August and snap peas are cool weather plants! Having a market that changes with the seasons has been a refreshing experience for our whole family.

This market has a wonderful variety of produce, meats & dairy, fresh herbs, cut flowers and some crafts thrown in too! All of beautiful quality. This will definitely be one of my shopping trips from now on! (and we live 50 mins away!) I'm very excited about having a local food market around, and all the people there are very sweet,to boot! Wonderful energy there, and I will be returning!
