The North Augusta Farmers Market is presented by Project GROWS, a nonprofit community farm organization with the mission of improving the overall health among children and youth in Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta County through food education, food distribution, and food production. The NAFM is held each Wednesday April through October from noon-5pm at the Augusta County Government Center. In 2014, the market-teaching farm partnership experienced one of the most profitable market seasons in NAFM history by emphasizing an expanding variety of producers and conducting targeted community outreach to make more local residents aware of the market.
