Grand Opening, Mother’s Day Craft Fair and Cooking Day May 1st
May 1 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join us as we start the 2026 season with our Grand Opening featuring the Mother’s Day Craft Fair and our first “First Friday Cooking Day”! Guest Chefs Dean McRae, Niki Weir, and Loren Webster, who cooked 2 times last year, will be cooking with herbs. Many of our vendors will be selling herb plants and some will have some fresh cut herbs as well. Cooking demonstrations generally run from 9:30 to noon. Free samples and recipes will be available. Donations are always appreciated to help fund our cooking program.
We’ll also have a full range of vendors and IFM Kids bucks for the first 20 kids to the Market booth. We continue to accept SNAP/EBT and offer the $30 Match. In addition, we are excited to continue a new program-Fresh Match Plus- that we started late last season. Virginia Fresh Match(VFM) has received a HOPE grant from Wellspring Foundation of Southwest Virginia to support the program. It allows us to offer vouchers for fresh fruits and vegetables for Medicaid, WIC, and Farm Market Fresh users.
