Some History

Founded in 1997, the Nelson Farmers’ Market is considered one of the premier producers-only markets (everything sold is grown, prepared or crafted by its members), in the region.  Set in the heart of the Rockfish Valley, the market operates on a grassy field under long white tents.  Local farmers bring their seasonal produce, berries, peaches, apples, cut flowers, free range eggs, grass-fed beef, pork, lamb and poultry.  You can also find cheese, mushrooms, honey and fresh-cut herbs.  Plants for sale include trees, shrubs, heritage tomatoes, perennials, herbs, bedding plants, chrysanthemums and orchids.  Bakers bring a wide variety of loaf breads, fruit pies, cakes, and meat-filled pastries.  Crafters offer original jewelry, pottery, baskets, fabric crafts, furniture, photography and art.  There is plenty of parking.
