About the Market

Background

Located in central West Virginia, this market serves as a collective effort by small local growers to offer their produce and goods to the community. The market operates on a consignment basis, where farmers drop off their products, which are then displayed and sold to customers. This initiative aims to bring fresh, locally-grown food to the county, reminiscent of the 'good old days'.

Practices

The market operates similarly to a consignment program, ensuring that local growers can focus on their farming while the market handles the sales. This method supports local agriculture by providing a reliable outlet for fresh produce and other farm products.

The Rest

The market is open from March 16th through May 4th on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM, and from May 7th until October 26th, 2013, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM. Visitors are encouraged to experience the charm of the countryside and enjoy the freshest local products available.
