Apart from the food selection, vendors also offer a range of homemade crafts, farm-based skincare, potted plants, and more.

Supporting local businesses

The opening of the Farmers Market is not just a seasonal festivity; it is also an avenue for small, local businesses to market their products. By shopping at the Abingdon Farmers Market, patrons are indirectly supporting these businesses, helping them flourish even amidst competition from larger enterprises. The market fosters a sense of community by connecting farmers, crafters, bakers, and buyers in one space, thereby feeding back into the local economy.

COVID-19 Protocols

Despite the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, the Abingdon Farmers Market continues to prioritize the health and safety of its visitors. Therefore, strict adherence to general health guidelines, including maintaining a safe distance from each other and compulsory mask-wearing, will be enforced.

In conclusion, the opening of the Abingdon Farmers Market marks the beginning of the spring season and offers something for everyone – whether you are a health buff, a foodie, or just someone looking for a fun, outdoor activity. Its diverse offerings coupled with its commitment to local businesses and safety measures make it an event worth marking on your calendar.
