Farmers markets to open!
Hot diggedy dog! It’s time for the Farmer’s Markets of SWVA to open!!!
I’m disgusted at the produce to be found lately in the supermarkets, aren’t you? Lettuce I wouldn’t feed to an evil Monty Python rabbit. Tomatoes that can’t really be called red (what is that color?). And cucumbers that feel like they’re made out of flubber. I can’t wait to be able to purchase locally grown vegetables, plants, and other goodies like multiple items made with goats’ milk; soap, cheese. . . who knows what. Not to mention hear some local music.
Blacksburg has it lucky. The Blacksburg Farmer’s Market stays open pretty much year round, though their hours change. The Radford Farmers Market will open May 3.
Other regional Farmer’s Markets include:
- Southwest Virginia Farmer’s Market
- Pulaski Farmers Market
- Tazewell Farmers Market
