Hanover’s Perspective
Produce Stands, Farms & Open-Air Markets are Stocked with Seasonal Offerings in Hanover County
Farmers’ markets are a critical ingredient to Virginia’s agriculture economy connecting rural to urban, enhancing local food systems, and supporting healthy communities. In addition to providing locally grown fruits and vegetables, nutritious protein options, and other locally produced food items, markets showcase the sights, sounds, and uniqueness of a locality and foster a sense of community among their customers.
With more than 265 farmers’ markets in the Commonwealth of Virginia, there are many opportunities to shop locally for a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables. Throughout the growing season, consumers can expect to find green beans, berries, tomatoes, sweet corn, peaches, peppers, potatoes, eggplants, onions, carrots and more.

In addition, many farmers’ markets in the state also have fresh Virginia Grown meats such as chicken, pork, seafood, and more.
Consumers are encouraged to search for a local market at www.virginiagrown.com or at https://vafma.org/virginia-markets, and should call ahead to learn about the market’s current offerings and hours of operation.
