About Us

Our Market

Our market started in 1997 when a handful of farmers in Nelson County decided to form a private cooperative to help local residents have better access to fresh local produce. The rest is history. 23 years later, the Nelson Farmers' Market Cooperative has grown to over 50 vendors and continues to bring a wonderful variety of produce, baked goods, plants, arts, crafts and much more to our local community.

Our Community

The Nelson Farmers' Market is located in the heart of Nelson County, Va. Market grounds are in Nellysford, right beside the entrance to Stoney Creek.

May - Oct. on Saturdays

June 6th Pre-Order Pickup Hours: 9am - 12pm

Featured Vendors

During this time of social distancing, our farmers are going the extra mile to ensure our community still has access to fresh food. The vendors listed below have setup online ordering platforms for customers to place pre-orders for Saturday deliveries at the Nelson Farmers' Market grounds in Nellysford. Even if you don't place an order, please take a moment to thank our vendors for developing these online stores to help keep us all healthy and safe.

Stay Safe. Stay Healthy. Stay Informed.
