HISTORY

2002 • CURRENT

In 2002 a small group of producers, community-based supporters, and West Virginia University Davis College representatives formed an advisory board with a goal of establishing a reliable Market that would encourage local farmers to supply quality, home-grown produce that would attract customers consistently week after week. This initial Market was fairly different from the current Morgantown Farmers Market that we know and love. It originally ran from 7:30am-11:30am at the Seneca Center and only had a few vendors.

"We're working to create a memorable shopping experience for the consumer who wants to be able to say, "I went to the farmers' market today."
