About this place
Heard's Cedar Hill Farm Market invites you to experience a vibrant local market, open seasonally from May through October, Wednesday through Saturday, from 10 AM to 6 PM. Nestled minutes from Shenandoah National Park, this market serves as a welcoming hub for both the community and visitors looking for authentic Shenandoah Valley products. The market prides itself on its slogan, "From Our Valley to Your Table," offering a curated selection of mostly local crafts, meats, produce, cheeses, honeys, and baked goods, alongside some intriguing Virginia and out-of-state items. The owners, Valerie and Mr. Heard, bring a genuine passion for plants and flowers, a lifelong interest nurtured by Mr. Heard's mother. After a career in dentistry, Mr. Heard, with Valerie, sought to engage with people in a new way, leading to the creation of this market. Visitors can find a wide array of fresh foods, including free-range items, local dairy products like milk, cheeses, ice cream, and butter, as well as eggs. The market also features an assortment of salsas, jams, jellies, sauces, and pickled vegetables, along with breakfast staples such as bacon, scrapple, sausage, and syrups. Beyond fresh produce and pantry items, the market has expanded its offerings to include craft beer and wine, adding to its diverse appeal.
