| Staunton
successfully encourages a "buy local" economy by supplying residents
with the opportunity to shop at a well-stocked farmer's market. The
selection is incredible, the farmers are wonderful to do business with
and the quality of the produce is remarkable. This is definitely the
most well-attended farmers market I have ever been to. |
Staunton has a great
Farmers' Market in a great small-town, downtown environment.
|
The
Staunton farmers Market is more than a collection of vendors; there is
an air of small town Virginia, a social atmosphere that in itself is
worth the trip. |
| The produce is fresh, the
food is delicious, the people are wonderful, the cooking demonstrations
and live music add to the overall ambience and the Saturday morning
event is one of the highlights of the week. It's a great collection of
producers and good, local food. |
The
farmers work hard to make sure we have fresh grown delicious produce
every year. Great music, family friendly atmosphere, and great foods. |
All locally-grown or
produced food or materials (wool, etc.), offered weekly. Features local
musicians. Still manages to maintain a local flavor and family ambiance.
More than just a market, it's part of the social fabric of the
community. |
| Incredibly
friendly farmers, great feel in historic downtown, community building
experience, lovely live music and very, very local food--most of the
farmers come from very close by. |
Charm. Dedication to the
customers and to the life of providing the most nutritious food while
providing the best stewardship for our local resources - in addition to
the contribution of keeping our money in the Valley. |
Because
local is always best. |
| Local fresh food. Our family
believes in supporting local agriculture and we are healthier for it. |
I get to
see all my friends and neighbors-- it is a great community. Plus, I get
to invest in the vitality of the local economy and buy some great food!!
|
Our market is very friendly,
it's a joy to attend! The produce is very fresh and well presented,
there is often live music, and always a festive atmosphere, and mostly,
I love paying the producer instead of the advertisers, the transporters,
etc |
