Northern Neck Farmer’s Market
CB and Jane Kemper with assistant Christy Rock are among the 110 exhibitors at the Farmer’s Market in Irvington, VA. The Kempers own and operate Kemper’s Nursery in Farnham, VA and every Saturday during the season you will find them at one of the local markets that rotate through the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. Everything can be found at the market from fresh tomatoes to politics. Visitors to the market not only can purchase fresh produce but they can also learn about the heritage of the Northern Neck as well with such organizations as the Reedville Fishermen’s Museum, the Northumberland County Library, and Rice's Hotel/Hughlett's Tavern having display booths. If you think farmers only raise vegetables then you will be surprised to learn about the Northern Neck Oyster Farmers. Many of the residents are growing their own oysters from their piers and at the market they can place orders for the small oysters and purchase the cages to grow them in.
