The Harrisonburg Farmers Market is back with its spring through fall hours – on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Turner Pavilion, 228. S. Liberty St., behind City Hall.

This season welcomes new vendors to the mix:

  • Double O Farm: Tuesdays. A fruit orchard operating since 2005 that was planted with market offerings specifically in mind.
  • Friendly Neighbor Gardens: Tuesdays & Saturdays. Friendly Neighbor Gardens is a diversified vegetable farm offering seasonal, naturally grown vegetables year-round to the residents of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County through the Harrisonburg Farmer’s Market and our CSA program.
  • Low Hill Garden: Tuesdays and Saturdays. A half-acre bio-intensive market garden specializing in sustainably grown produce and flowers. Utilizing no-till and no-spray management practices, they are building a living soil network and encouraging biodiversity throughout their garden space.
  • Mother Bear Medicinals: Tuesdays and Saturdays. Herbal medicinals featuring a hot tea bar with prepared herbal teas. Small batch body oils and bath are also available.
  • Roots & Fruits Juicery: Tuesdays and Saturdays. Making and selling healthy fruit and veggie juices using the 80/20 framework to keep the natural sugar levels lower.
  • RVPBar: Tuesdays. Plant-based, vegan and gluten free natural energy bars.
  • Sweet McGee: Tuesdays and every other Saturday. A dessert catering and gift company. They make it a priority to use locally grown and produced ingredients in our made from scratch baked goods. Our products range from confections and cookies to yeasted breads with a specialty of sweet and savory croissants.

The Central Shenandoah Valley Master Gardeners will continue their free, interactive station, Curiosity Corner, held twice a month April–September.

Mark your calendars for these annual events:

  • First and Third Saturdays: Curiosity Corners by the Master Gardeners
  • Earth Week at the Market: Tuesday, April 21 and Saturday, April 25
  • Sunset Markets: Third Thursdays, June–August, 5-8 p.m.
  • Tomato Fest: Aug. 1
  • Harvest Fest: Nov. 7
  • Holiday Market: First three Saturdays in December, 9 a.m. to noon
