Shopping at a farmers market is all about fresh, seasonal ingredients. At the Virginia Highland Farmers Market, every week brings something new from local farms and artisans.
In the fall months, look for apples, pears, squash, kale, carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins. These seasonal staples are perfect for soups, roasts, and baking. Local vendors may also offer baked goods, jams, pickles, and specialty items crafted from fresh produce.
The market rotates vendors throughout the season, so there’s always something new to discover. Many farms focus on offering a variety of vegetables, fruits, and herbs, while artisans bring flowers, crafts, and prepared foods. Keep an eye on the weekly vendor list on the market website to plan your visit.
Buying in-season supports local farmers, reduces food miles, and guarantees fresher, tastier ingredients. Plus, it’s a fun way to try new recipes and ingredients each month.
Whether you’re a seasoned market shopper or visiting for the first time, knowing what’s in season helps you shop smarter, eat better, and support your community.
Visit the Virginia Highland Farmers Market every Sunday from 8:30–11:30 a.m. at Highland Woodworking to enjoy the freshest seasonal produce and local goods.
