Our Mission

We support the local and regional economy. In accordance with a new and unique Chesapeake ordinance, Western Branch Farmers Market assures that all product sold by its vendors comes from the area. 100 percent of produce and a large percentage of the ingredients and materials used to make processed and craft items meets the standards set by the city. Western Branch Farmers Market supports vendors selling local and regional products to promote fresh, nutritious local produce, maintaining the viability of local farming operations and bolstering the quality of life and sense of community. This means people smiling at you from under their tents at the market are the same folks doing the growing and producing. Dollars spent at the Western Branch Farmers Market continue to thrive in the community.
