Ghent Farmers Market

Legit farmer's market right on Colley Ave in the heart of Ghent. Lots of vendors packed into the small space. Tea, cheese, meat, eggs, popsicles, kombucha, hot sauce, energy drinks, soap, dog treats, art work and even some live entertainment some weeks! Check out their Instagram for weekly vendor listings. Always something good to take home. Folks are friendly and no pressure to buy. Feel free to just stroll around and enjoy a Friday evening on Colley. Good luck leaving without finding something you like though!

I had been hoping to check out the new Ghent Farmers Market since they got started a few weeks ago. Tonight was my first opportunity! The market is only open every other Friday from 4-7 PM, but it is absolutely worth making the trip during those limited hours! They have an amazing group of vendors selling items such as fresh produce, goat's milk soap, local honey, cheeses, herbs, flowers, baked goods, coffee, and SO MUCH MORE. I was thrilled with the wide variety of stops and didn't leave until I had checked out every vendor. I wound up buying lavender black tea from Green Leaf Pebble Tea Spa, a bunch of gorgeous flowers from Studio Posy, and a bunch of broccolini (I didn't catch this vendor's name ). I could have chosen something at every stop! Everyone I spoke to was highly knowledgeable about their products and very friendly. The market is located at Blair Middle School and there are two city lots there on Spotswood with plenty of parking.
