Independence,VA:  Online Market is OPEN for Feb. 26 pickup!

Hope You’re Keeping Warm

This weather, friends! Last week was a doozy and here we are with some some fresh snow and cold temps this week. We hope you all have your power back and you can keep it through this next bout of weather.

Thanks so much to all of our customers who re-ordered after we had to cancel last week! We really appreciate you bearing with us.

One way to keep hope alive through this long, cold winter is to think about the gardens we’ll have in the summer and fall. We can help. We are selling a wide variety of organic Southern Exposure seeds, from flowers to herbs to veggies. Get your gardening on with a few new packets of seeds!

Our vendors have some great options to keep you fed all day long. Start off the day with eggs, breakfast sausage or bacon, and croissants or toast. If you prefer a lighter fare, two of our vendors sell granola. And if you have a sweet tooth, there is banana bread, donuts, and cinnamon rolls. For lunch, why not make a ham sandwich? There are many different types of bread to choose from, including sourdough, jalapeno cheddar, and wheat. You can get a small (or large) uncured ham, cook that up, and have sandwiches for you and all your friends. For dinner, maybe some duck, chicken, lamb, or pork with dinner rolls or focaccia. And the desserts! Chocolate cake, cookies, tarts, and so many pies. We may not have produce right now (cursing winter) but there are so many great foods to choose from.

A reminder that our Grow More Vegetables class has been rescheduled to THIS Saturday, February 22, at 9 am. The class is limited to 20 people. Please email Michelle Pridgen at independencefarmersmarket@gmail.com to register.

Don’t forget about our pre-season market on Friday, April 18, from 9 am to 1 pm in Town Park. Get your Easter shopping done with the Independence Farmers’ Market! Our grand opening for the regular season will be Friday, May 2.

If you’re a bacon fiend, His Heritage Homestead is selling uncured, pasture raised bacon. Order yours today and dream about the tasty breakfast or BLT you can make next week.

The Online Market is open for ordering Wednesdays at 8 PM until Mondays at 8 PM.

The In-Person Market is open from 9 AM until 1 PM Fridays from May to October.
