National Farmers' Market Week!!

One of the comments we hear repeatedly is that Tappahannock Market is one of the best markets in the region and getting more and more popular. August 11th actually has been designated by the USDA as National Farmers' Market Week and we are proud to be one of the nearly 8,000 markets held throughout the United States, up from 3,000 some ten years ago. This growth makes it clear that people are increasingly supporting locally grown food and farmers. Farmers' markets are one of the easiest ways to not only support and encourage locally grown fruits and vegetables, but to support the economic viability of our farmers, and get personal control of the quality, variety and choice, freshness and lower prices of market produce.
