Community Table
The Community Table is a dedicated space at each of our farmers markets for community education and outreach. We welcome area nonprofit organizations that share a similar mission to LVHMC. We are interested in building community around healthy, local, and sustainable food.
Thinking about participating in a market? To help you make your decision, please consider the following:
-
Can you offer learning moments for our customers?
-
What is the audience you plan to connect with?
-
How will you impart the importance of locally grown food, local agriculture, healthy eating, or a healthy lifestyle?
Email info@loudounfarmersmarkets.org for inquiries about volunteering at community table, music, or being a drop-in vendor.

Participants must clean up their stall area at the end of the market.
All Community Table activities must be conducted at the Community Table stall.
