Middleburg Suspends Farmer's Market for 2021
In light of recent challenges and a decrease in attendance due to COVID-19, the Middleburg Farmer's Market will be suspended for the coming year. In 2020, the Market was moved to the National Sporting Library and Museum in order to comply with Governor Northam's mandates related to COVID-19. This location change, paired with a decrease in visitor attendance, created ongoing challenges for a viable Market. As of this time, the Town does not believe that the Market can be successfully organized and operated for the coming year.
The Town Council has indicated its desire to identify a permanent home for the Market in a location where additional activities and vendor options can be accommodated. It is anticipated that the new Town Hall complex, expected to be completed in early 2023, will be an ideal location for the Middleburg Farmer's Market to successfully return and serve the community.
The Town has expressed its dedication to local farms, vendors, and producers and encourages all residents and visitors to support local. Options to connect to local farms and CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture) can be found at the Town's dedicated market page: www.middleburgva.gov/market. Any updates on opportunities to connect to Market vendors will be included on the same website.
