Powhatan Village Farmer’s Market
The Powhatan Village Farmers Market is a grower's market, featuring farm-fresh seasonal produce, grass-fed meats, fruits and berries, honey (that’s where we come in!), baked goods and select artisan crafts. The market is located on the beautiful grounds of Bienvenue in the Village of Powhatan. Built in 1820, Bienvenue is the ideal setting for a farmers market - it's a park-like setting with plenty of parking and grass covered by large shade trees for vendors to set up on. The market also has weekly food trucks and live music. Stop by for dinner and stock up for the week on fresh local products…and don’t forget your honey which is being supplied exclusively by the Huguenot Beekepeers Association.
