The 2021 Farmers Market Census contributes to a better understanding of the economic growth among Farmers Markets in West Virginia. This year has brought about many unique challenges and successes for local food. Our hope is to showcase the resilience of Farmers Markets through accurate reporting of aggregate data.

A general report card for public view that will be available by Spring 2022 on the West Virginia Farmers Market Association (WVFMA) website, wvfarmers.org. All data collected will be used and presented in aggregate. Personal information and individual market data will not be released by the West Virginia Farmers Market Association without explicit permission.

Please read all survey questions thoroughly and answer to the best of your ability. The more information you can provide ensures better quality service to farmers markets in our state. Be sure to hit “Submit” once you reach the final page of the survey. If you prefer a printable version, please email us at coordinator@wvfarmers.org.

For the purpose of this survey, a year is defined as the active Farmers Market season for each individual farmers market between January 1 and December 31, 2021.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in the census and for your contribution to the agriculture sector and economy of West Virginia.
