I visit the Harrisonburg Farmer's Market as much as possible. It the is the BEST Farmer's Market I have ever been to. The vendors and overall ambience is so friendly and wonderful. Even when I'm done purchasing the excellent fresh goods available, I linger, just to save some of the happiness.
Whenever we travel, if a farmers market is there and open, I will find it! The Harrisonburg Market is easy to find in the historic downtown area and has plenty of free parking. Despite the frigid temps and snow on the ground, there were an impressive number of vendors present. One, brilliantly, offering hot savory soups. The Farmers Market manager, Josie, is a lovely and happily answered all of my questions. The market is housed under an impressive outdoor pavilion. Great use of downtown space. Thumbs up!
This was a small market. I was very surprised with corn and tomatoes being in season how expensive they were selling them for.
Nice selections of local produce, meats, wines, breads, crafts, plants & flowers. All at reasonable prices. Vendors are friendly & warm. It's a small market but has everything you could want! It's well worth the trip!
Clean, well-organized. Great variety from local growers and artisans. Coffee, tea, flowers, fruits and vegetables.
Homemade goodies and homegrown produce. A great place to browse and shop. In downtown Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Stopped by the Farmers Market on a recent trip to Harrisonburg. Great variety of fresh produce, meat, flowers, herbs and crafts Creative gifts and some good deals on produce - although, I was a little shocked that some corn was selling for $7 a dozen. It was a nice stop on a Saturday morning.
We were visiting Harrisonburg on our annual trip to Massanutten Resort. This trip we decided to take in the market in Harrisonburg. This market is very close to the Visitor's center and Quilt Museum in downtown Harrisonburg. You will find it under a long picnic type shelter behind the museum. Here we walked down the wide middle and took in all the local crafts and food. There were vegetables from gardens even in winter, honey and honey products, candles, soaps, knit goods, wood workings, jewelry, pastries, bread that smelled great, greens, meats such as beef, lamb and pork, different cultures food and even ribs and BBQ and more! This is one of the most interesting markets and it is on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Saturdays until 1:00 in the winter. We got honey and sweet potatoes the last time we were there but this time just enjoyed the vendors. Lots of people with market baskets shopping. Great coffee to drink while you walked or buy by the bag to take home. Very active and near other attractions downtown. We also walked to the visitors center and the New Leaf Café that was packed. Worth the visit if you enjoy local farmers markets!
This was certainly a nice find when we visited Harrisonburg. This really isn't a typical farmers market. The market was outdoors under a large pavilion. The produce and baked goods are as fresh as you can get. There are also some vendors that sell little knick knacks and textiles (which were actually pretty cool). If you're in the area it's certainly worth a quick stop by.
Great place to remind ourselves of the Shenandoah Valley's heritage, with local food and handicrafts.
