A farm stand has opened along Route 151 in Afton and features locally grown food, flowers and handcrafted goods, all sourced from the region.

The Farm Stand at Eventide is located at 11254 Rockfish Valley Highway, 1.3 miles south of Blue Mountain Brewery.

The farm stand will feature items from Eventide Farm as well as six partner farms and will include season vegetables, cut flower arrangements, farm-fresh eggs, baked goods, herbal products, preserves and artisanal crafts.

“Our goal is to contribute to our local food scene and our community economy,” said Lauren Valentine, Eventide Farm owner. “That’s why we’ve partnered with other small farms and crafters.  This farm stand is a place where folks can come get the freshest food and most locally produced goods available.”

The farm stand will be open Wednesday through Saturday each week, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. for self-serve shopping.
