To help recognize the week, Governor Northam and Northam Administration Officials will be visiting farmers’ markets around the state.

The Lynchburg Community Market has a rich history.

LYNCHBURG, Va. - It is now possible to get local goods at Lynchburg's public market to close out the weekend. The Lynchburg Community Market held its inaugural First Sunday special hours this Sunday. The market, which is normally open Tuesday through Saturday, is experimenting with being open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the first Sunday of the month. Market manager Derrius Slaughter says the idea hatched after the market organized a one-time Sunday market while the State Games of America was in Lynchburg and saw the demand for additional weekend shopping. The Lynchburg Community Market will repeat its First Sunday promotion in October and November.
