The Roanoke Valley Farmers’ Market has had two successful weeks so far, thanks to the support of our community members, and the dedication of our farmers, craftspeople, and local producers. Special thanks also for the support of Cooperative Extension staff in Halifax and Northampton counties in getting our market ready to thrive this year, and especially to Mr. Michael Pittman and those affiliated with Operation Restart for their consistent hard work.

We hope to see you on Saturday for Week 3!
