The Berkeley Springs Farmers Market Celebrates 10 Years

The Berkeley Springs Farmers Market supports the development of

local agriculture through workshops, field support, and conference attendance for members, new producers and products workshops

and representation in state and national organizations.

The Market benefits the community by supporting agriculture and

the local economy. It provides locally grown and fresh produce direct to consumers, provides produce to local food kitchens and

creates a sense of place for the community.

The producers have developed a broad range of products and

continue to expand each year. The Market also has a number of special events and the local Master Gardeners provide educational

programs throughout the season in addition to their information booth at the Sunday market.

Every year, market farmers donate produce to food pantries in Berkeley Springs. Farmers also partner with the West Virginia

Department of Agriculture and accept Senior Farmers Market vouchers and WIC coupon vouchers.

The Market supports direct marketing opportunities by providing a venue to sell products in downtown Berkeley Springs, directly to

local restaurants, retail businesses and institutions, wholesale and direct from the farm to consumers.
