What does "Producer Only" mean?

Simply put, it means that the vendor selling the product has been involved in the growing or production of the item.  In addition, the Staunton Farmers’ Market requires that this be done within a 75 mile radius to Staunton.  Items cannot be bought elsewhere and then re-sold at our Market.  This is to assure that our customers are getting the very best and freshest products available. Your questions regarding growing practices can be answered by someone involved with the operation.


Can my organization set-up a table at the farmers' market?
The Market hosts a limited number of Community Guests per season. Permission and scheduling is through our Market Manager at  stauntonfarmersmarket@gmail.com.
