Welcome to the Waterfront Farmers Market!
|
Our market vendor fees help cover our operations, but in keeping our fees as affordable as possible for our local farmers and makers, there's little room in the budget for other fun things at the market. Your donations will help us add live music, events for kids and families, special pop-up events, and so much more! We appreciate every little bit, and we hope we'll see you at the market! |

About the Market! The Waterfront Farmers Market was established in 2023. All of our vendors are local, within a 50 mile radius or from West Virginia. You'll find in-season produce, locally raised meat, farm fresh eggs, home baked goods, local honey, fresh flowers, berries, handmade jewelry and crafts, and so much more from local farmers and artisans! Find something new every Saturday! We're currently in the process of building our permanent market (that fancy pavilion up top) using a $470,000 grant received in last year's Federal budget, but in the meantime, you can still join us downtown behind the Lowe Hotel every Saturday (starting April 15th) for our popup market! |
|
Our Vision The Waterfront Farmers Market hopes to build a tradition for families and people of all ages, and encourages our patrons to interact with our friendly and knowledgeable vendors. We're all one county, and we want to see our farmers and residents come together. Our vision is to continue to offer a vibrant and thriving farmers market that promotes a sustainable local food system, supports local farmers and artisans, and encourages a healthy community. |
