Nellysford Farmer’s Market

2009 Grand Opening of the Nellysford Farmer’s Market. The market opens this morning at 8AM and is open until noon. Visit the market each Saturday until late October. The market is located on Rt. 151 in the heart of Nellysford. Look for the large white tents at the entrance to Stoney Creek at Wintergreen.

The Nellysford Farmers Market continues to grow. This year, there will be weekly live music, wine tastings and even a chef with demos with local food.

Usually at the Market:

Eggs, meat and cheese (Be sure to check out the fresh mozzarella and goat cheese)

Salad Greens at several booths with fresh vegetables (the promise of more to come in weeks ahead)

Local honey

Fresh herbs for planting or cooking plus tomato starter plants

Fresh cut flowers for giving or decorating. Flower plants for gardens.

Crafts including handmade pillows, note cards with Nelson photos, garden features and handcrafted chairs, tables and benches.

Baked goods at several booths. There’s French bread, scones, cookies, cakes and pies…just to name a few. To go with the baked goods, there is fresh brewed coffee. One can certainly come to the Farmer’s Market for breakfast.

Artist with paintings including some that can do portraits

For those of you who must eat Gluten Free, I spoke to Claudia Gibson at her booth, and she can create GF baked goods if you order in advance. If you are interested in GF baked goods, please send me an email at kim@ExperienceNelsonCounty.com I plan on placing an order with Claudia soon.

I hope to see you this Summer at our Farmer’s Market.


I hope to see you in beautiful Nelson County soon…
