A note on Valley markets

Valley farmers markets fall into two shapes. The pavilion markets — Harrisonburg, Staunton, Winchester, Waynesboro, Lexington — run on Saturday mornings under producer-only rules, meaning every vendor grew, raised, or made what they're selling within a short drive.

The permanent indoor markets — Dayton, Shenandoah Heritage, Valley Pike — operate as year-round shopping centers with dozens of butchers, bakers, produce halls, and specialty shops. Outdoor season peaks in July and August when tomatoes, sweet corn, and peaches overlap; heirloom apples and cider take over come September.

11 of our listed markets accept SNAP/EBT. Harrisonburg, Staunton, and Winchester run a double-SNAP match on Virginia-grown fruits and vegetables.
