HUGUENOT- ROBIOUS FARMERS MARKET at the Great Big Greenhouse

A number of farmers markets around Richmond are open year round – from Forest Hill to the West End, Carytown to Lakeside – with precautions set up for safety. And these farmers markets are worth the trip, because there’s just something about local produce that makes it look and taste better. And when you buy it straight from the person who grew it outside in the fresh air, you know it’s as fresh as possible and that it was grown responsibly. You’ll find that many local markets carry organic produce and meats and many have special events for holidays.

Northside Farmer’s Market is set to launch on Thursday June 16 with local farmers and businesses. Everything is Virginia Grown.

See the details of the Richmond area farmers markets listed alphabetically below. And be sure and visit the Virginia Grown website for the most current list of farmer’s markets. Always confirm dates, locations, and times since they may change from season to season.
