Our Goal
We are a small family farm located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. Our goal is to farm humanely and ecologically and to share the beauty and abundance with our community through our locally curated farm market.
BLUE HERON FARM MARKET
Welcome to the Blue Heron Farm Market — our quaint, self-serve, locally sourced farm goods space nestled into our family farm, where everything is offered with care, integrity, and a deep respect for where food comes from.
Over 25 years ago, we set up our first stand at the end of the driveway: just a cooler, a cash box, and a tent. This little market is a continuation of that spirit and the realization of a long-time dream — simple, local, and rooted in the belief that what we have is worth sharing.
Everything here has been grown, baked, or made by us or by nearby farmers and makers we’re honored to support. You’ll find produce from our fields, bread and baked goods from our kitchen, and goods like local honey, local cheese, artisan salts, locally grown and milled flours, local pickles, pottery, and more — all sourced with intention. No preservatives. No artificial dyes. All things that we feel good feeding our own children.
We put a lot of thought into every ingredient that goes into our baked goods, just as we do with every vendor whose items we offer. You don’t need to read every label here — but we hope you will, because what’s inside speaks for itself.
We were raised by farmers who taught us that caring for the land means it will care for you — it’s a way of life. This little market (big in spirit) is one of the ways we try to live that out and share it with you.
Whether you live up the road or just wandered in out of curiosity, we’re so glad you stopped in. Take your time. Look around. And treat yourself to something grown and made with love and intention.
