Growing Farmers. Nourishing Communities. The West Virginia Farmers Market Association was formed in 2007 as a statewide farmers market association.

Its goal is to strengthen the viability of farmers markets across the state by fostering cooperation among members and service providers in problem-solving, identification and adoption of best practices, and working towards policy or regulatory improvements. Subscribe to the Newsletter:

🌱 Food for thought!

Ever wonder why buying directly from a local farmer can sometimes cost more than shopping at a grocery store?

There’s more to food pricing than meets the eye! From production costs to labor and distribution, many factors influence what we pay for locally grown products.

Supporting local farmers means supporting the people and communities behind our food!

We are proud recipients of $25,000 in funding through the Appalachian Regional Commission's READY Nonprofits Training Program!

Happy National Farmers Day from the West Virginia Farmers Market Association! Today, we are shining a spotlight on the incredible mountain state growers and producers who anchor our community.

Our mission is driven by a powerful vision: a thriving market feeds all tables. Behind every market stall is an early morning, a dedicated season of hard work, and a deep passion for nourishing everyone in their community. Our local farmers work rain or shine to build a stronger, more inclusive food system that ensures fresh, healthy food reaches every home. 🌽🥕

Ever wonder who grew your crisp autumn apples, heirloom tomatoes, or mountain honey? Next time you visit your local West Virginia market, take a moment to ask a farmer about their harvest and thank them for keeping our community fed.
