Market is OPEN for July 3rd pickup!


Good evening,

The Market is open and ready for you to order! Keep in mind your July 4th weekend while shopping!

To Shop: Independence Farmers Market.

Schedule Your Pickup Time: Calendly.
After you click “Confirm” on your time, be sure to enter your information and click, “Schedule an Event”. You will get a confirmation e-mail. If you do not receive a confirmation, you are not scheduled and need to try again. This is new for all of us, let me know if you need help.

You may have seen a flyer in your box this afternoon about Food Independence. This is a new food pantry created by Tom Simpson, Anita Simpson, Ken Kreuzer and Bev Fermor. It will be operated as a program under Grayson Landcare’s 501©(3). For the first three months, this program will run on pledges and donations until they qualify to partner with Feeding America, Southwest Virginia, to obtain food at reduced rates.

If you are interested in helping out, Feed Independence is in need of canned protein products, preferably fish/tuna, chicken and beef (12 oz cans are preferred). At each Friday’s market pickup, a bin will be placed on the sidewalk to receive your donation. Let’s make Food Independence’s goal of reducing food insecurity in Independence a reality!

Have a great weekend!

Market is OPEN for June 26th pickup!


Good evening,

The Market is open and ready for you to order! Many have asked when we plan to re-open the outdoor Market. We’re as excited and anxious as you are, but in light of rising Covid-19 cases, we have decided to play it safe by continuing with just the Online Market for now until we see a decrease in virus cases in the Twin Counties. Thank you for continuing to support the Market and allowing us to serve you as safely as we can.

Please note that for meat cuttings sold by the pound, there is a single item per listing. Please do not order more than one because the vendor will not be able to fulfill it.

We’re working hard to make sure everyone’s order is complete when you pick it up on Friday. Unfortunately, our system isn’t always foolproof.
If you can, be sure to double check your orderslip on the box to make sure you have everything. If you don’t, feel free to poke your head in the door and let us know what you are missing. Frozen meats and plants seem to be what gets left out the most often.
Also, when you pick up your order each week, be sure to leave the box. You can also leave the name tag on the box so we can re-use it the next time you order. Thank you all to adapting so quickly to the new system!

I’ll be checking this afternoon to confirm that everyone with an order has also signed up for a pickup time. Please go ahead and schedule your time if you haven’t already.

We have modified our refund policy for canceled orders. Please read our new policy and if you do need to cancel, please do so BEFORE the Market closes on Wednesday nights to make it easier on our vendors.
We are not able to offer refunds after the Market closes on Wednesday nights at 8 pm. If you do need to cancel your order AFTER the market closes, you will still be charged for your purchases. We will be happy to place your items in the freezer, when possible, for a later pickup. Also, when possible, non-perishable items, including produce, cheese and eggs, can be refrigerated until the next week’s pickup. You may also choose to donate your products to a local food bank. If you are canceling due to illness, please arrange for someone else to pick up your order. In the event that you do need to cancel your order after the Market closes on Wednesday nights, please contact Michelle at 276-768-0597 as soon as possible.
