Webster Springs Farmers' Market Opens Friday, July 3rd

The Webster Springs Farmers' Market starts this Friday at 8:00 AM on Baker's Island. All of last year's sellers will be this year, plus we are expecting several new sellers to participate this year. The Farmers’ Market will be open every Friday morning until the beginning of October and runs from 8:00-11:00 or until all the produce is sold out.

This week we expect to have zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, rhubarb, basil, dill, cilantro, patty pan squash, live plants, hot peppers, baked goods, canned goods, green onions and more. Each week will bring new and different produce based on what is ripening in each farmer's garden.

Later in the season, we are expecting red, green & yellow tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, eggs, hot & sweet peppers, pears, apples, plums, corn, green beans, potatoes, garlic, black walnuts, butternut squash, hanovers, cabbage, rosemary, beets, thyme, spearmint, oregano, pumpkins and more.

Everything sold at the Farmers' Market must be grown within 50 miles of Webster Springs. There are at least 5 sellers this year that are certified by West Virginia to accept the Senior Citizen Nutrition Vouchers.

Please come out and help support local farmers!
