Virtual Co-ops: Keeping the Farmers Market Alive Through the Winter

Thank you all for your support this past season at the local farmers markets. At this time when many of them are closing down for the winter, we -- and a good number of other local producers -- will be participating in two winter season co-ops in the Richmond area: the Goochland Farmers Market and Fall Line Farms. These are farm to family Co-op programs in conjunction with Lulus Local Food, designed to connect market vendors and additional neighboring farms and businesses with customers in search of local food and products year round.

Goochland: Pick-up will be on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30-6:30 pm at two locations:
  • The Goochland Free Clinic and Family Services (located in the Goochland Courthouse area)
  • Edible Garden Restaurant (located in the east end of the county).

Fall Line Farms: Pick-up will be on Thursday afternoons from 3:30-6:30 at seven locations:
  • Cavanna Pasta
  • Ashland Gardens & Nursery (Ashcake Rd.)
  • St. Stephen's Church (Grove & Three Chopt)
  • Gather (Mount Hermon Rd. - Midlothian)
  • First Congregational Christian United Church of Christ (Courthouse at Hull - Chesterfield)
  • The Fat Goat Restaurant (Lakeside Ave - Northside)
  • EcoLogic (Main at Lombardy - The Fan)

The program will run from November 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010. Registration is $75 for Fall Line Farms 6 month season program and $45 for the Goochland Farmers Market 6 month season (Goochland's Center for Rural Culture’s members pay $45 up front but receive a $10 credit). This is an exciting opportunity to obtain local food and products throughout the winter months. For more information or to register, please visit
