The West End Farmers Market is located at Gayton and Ridgefield, and is home to many local farmers’ wares on Wednesdays and Saturdays, if the weather cooperates. Fruits, vegetables, pies, jams, meats, jewelery, iron works and yarn are just a few of the many items that are for sale.
Saturdays from 8 AM to 12 PM in Forest Hill Park, you can hit the most popular farmer’s market in Richmond. And by popular, we mean popular. People from every neighborhood travel across the river to buy fresh bread, produce, and other locally grown and made treats, and to hear live music, help their dogs meet other dogs, and simply to participate in a community activity.

The market is open from May 7 – December 3 (or thereabouts) each year and it is quite an experience. For veggies, flowers, plants, eggs, meat, honey, cheese, jewelry, clothing, candles, art, pottery, essential oils, soaps, and lotions, and fresh bread and other bakery items, visit South of the James Farmer’s Market and get there early!
