Shop & Discover at the 2024 Culpeper Downtown Farmers Market

Market season is upon us, Culpeper Downtown Farmers Market season that is!  Visit the longest running and most successful Market in the area on Saturday mornings, with opening day taking place May 4th!  Beginning in the 1950s at the agricultural enterprise by Raymond Kite, the Culpeper Farmers Market moved to Downtown by the early 90’s, where it has not only grown, but thrived ever since! 

Overseen by Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. (CRI), the Culpeper Downtown Farmers Market is happy to welcome both return and new customers this season!  Shop, visit, learn and explore, with a vast array of produce, meats galore, honey, plants, baked goods, eggs, flowers, handmade crafts, dog treats, hard cider and more; you can fill your Saturday mornings, while immersing yourself in community and family friendly fun!  Find the Market every Saturday, rain or shine, May through October, 7:30am to 12pm at 318 S. West Street (Culpeper Baptist Church parking lot).

Culpeper Renaissance, Inc., and the Culpeper Downtown Farmers Market are thrilled this year’s Market programs will benefit from an increase in funding thanks to the PATH Foundation.  It is through their generosity and other great community partnerships that CRI can continue producing quality programs which are community-centric, fun and educational!  Thank you to PATH Foundation, Kid Central with Culpeper Human Services, Virginia Cooperative Extension-Culpeper Unit, Rappahannock Rapidan Regional Commission, the Culpeper Baptist Church, UVA Health Culpeper Medical Center and the Town of Culpeper.
