4-H Programs Offer Kids Fun Summer Activities

As summer hits this month, young people are pressuring their parents to look for fun activities to pass the time until school starts again in the fall. A great and active program in the community is the 4-H Club, a youth development organization that promotes leadership, citizenship and life skills through participation in their clubs, contests, camps and more. Lenah Nguyen the Youth Development Extension Agent for the Fauquier County division of 4-H works to create activities that utilize their motto “To Make the Best Better!”

With the support of adult volunteers, Nguyen has encouraged enrollment into the club where students can elect officers, learn to conduct meetings, plan programs, complete large projects and participate in community service assignments in and around the county.

“The biggest misconception about 4-H is that people think we are solely focused on agriculture, when really it’s not even mentioned in our mission,” Nguyen said. “We help kids develops strong public speaking skills, confidence and proper parliamentary procedure. Some of these kids we’ve trained run meetings better than most adults.”

She continued to add that their mission is to provide programs to the community that have a foundation of three concepts: healthy living, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and citizen development. “The projects that we do are always handon learning and fun, but ultimately we are trying to create leaders and good citizens.”

Affordable workshops, training and camps are available this summer that offer a variety of activities for students to participate in. Makers Mondays is a program designed to motivate children to learn about STEM. They will use their creativity to make wonderful creations in this six session series. Students will turn a banana into a piano, paint with LED’s, make a drawing robot and more. This program is open to nine to thirteen year old students and begins on Monday June 16 at 6:00pm and runs through July 21. The cost is $15.

workshop where learning to make bread, rolls and pizza dough is just as fun as eating the results. Students will also get to make their own pizzas for lunch. This activity is open for students nine to eighteen years old.

The cost is $10.

“We are trying to stimulate kids in learning STEM with creativity,” Nguyen mentioned. “With that our projects allow kids to use their imaginations to build great things.”

During Biotech Tuesdays, students will learn about the role of biotechnology in agriculture to address the world’s most pressing problems.

These hands-on activities will teach students to extract and sequence DNA, make bioplastics and inks and more. This program is open to twelve to fourteen year old students and begins on Tuesday, June 17 at 6:00pm through July 22 and includes one field trip. The cost is $10.

“We’ve seen a growing need for people in agricultural related fields, especially bioagriculture,” she said.

“We are hoping to spark interest in our youth with our programs so we can fill the void in the industry.”

On June 27 from 10:00am to 4:00pm at the John Barton Payne Building, students can sign up for Best Breads Ever. It’s a bread baking

Youth Food Preservation shows students the art of canning.

For two days (July 7 and 8) students will learn the basic skills needed to can fruits and vegetables as well as make sweet jams and jellies. The John Barton Payne building will host the event from 9:30am to 12:30pm. It is open to students that are nine to eighteen years old. The cost is $15.

“Both the Best Breads Ever and Youth Food Preservation programs fit well with our healthy living mission,” Nguyen said. “There is a lot of science behind making and keeping food healthy and safe for consuming.”

The Wildlife Habitat Education Program or WHEP Wednesdays teaches students the fundamentals of wildlife & fisheries science and management. Some participants may have the opportunity to compete in the state-wide competition held in October later this year. This program begins on July 2 and runs through August 6 at 6:00pm. The cost is $10.

“This program will help feed into Green Bow Club,” Nguyen explained about WHEP. “It will combine bow hunting with wildlife conservation because they go hand in hand.”

Are your kids interested in agriculture, science and teaching; register to become an Agriscience Ambassador. This program is open to students ages fourteen to nineteen and provides comprehensive training to learn about agricultural science innovations that are aiding in some of the world’s largest problems. Students will also learn about agricultural biotechnology and careers in the field in addition to how to serve the community by teaching science activities focused on improving the understanding of agriculture

biotechnology. Those selected for the program will be required to participate in the training and complete 6 hours of teaching. Agriscience Ambassador Training begins on July 31 from 8:00am to 5:00pm and concludes on August 1 from 8:00am to 12 noon.

The program cost is $20 and includes lunch during training and a t-shirt.

“The ambassador program gives the trainees the experience, confidence and excitement needed to teach other students,” she said.

Arguably the best 4-H event is the Loudoun/Fauquier 4-H Junior Camp held annually. This year campers between the ages of nine and thirteen will meet at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center from June 22 through June 26.

This residency summer camp is packed full of activities from riflery to robotics all the way to canoeing and horseback riding. The camp focuses on a socially positive environment where students can laugh, grow and learn together.

The cost of this camp is $250, which includes meals, supplies, classes and a camp t-shirt. Unfortunately registration for this years camp is closed, but it’s a great option for summer 2015 – get it on the calendar now!

This month take a look to see the other fun, educational programs 4-H is offering and consider signing your child up to become a part of this dynamic organization. For more information on 4-H, upcoming activities or if you questions please visit their website at www.offices.ext. vt.edu/fauquier/programs/4h or give them a call at (540) 341-7950.

History

When History Arrived

by Rail Part 1: In the mid-1850s, a new transportation mode linked towns in Virginia By 1859, the Manassas Gap Railroad was running regularly between Manassas Junction and Mt. Jackson, in the Shenandoah Valley. Credit: Library of Virginia.

in the summer of 1851. John S. Barbour Jr. (1820-1892) was elected president of the O&ARR in 1854. Barbour would be a major influence in the regional railroad systems for the next three decades.

he Town of Haymarket existed for over half a century before the railroad came through, and to the east was a village called Beckhamsville which became Gainesville, after Thomas Gaines granted the railroad the right-of-way through his property (See Haymarket Lifestyle, July 2013).

A few miles further to the east was the tiny settlement of Tudor Hall, so named for the large farm in the neighborhood. It was no more than a dusty crossroads where the Warrentonto-Alexandria Turnpike intersected the road to Dumfries, but that would quickly change when a new kind of crossroads was built there.

It was the late 1840s, and the technology to harness steam power to drive locomotives over iron rails had made a huge leap since 1830, when Peter Cooper’s tiny but innovative “Tom Thumb” locomotive raced a horsedrawn rail car. Because of a mechanical failure, the horse won, but Cooper proved his point.

Investors, public service providers and shippers took notice, and change was coming. Later that year, the “Best Friend of Charleston” – a locomotive built by the West Point Foundry of New

York for the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Co. – took to the rails, providing regular passenger service for the first time in the U.S. Until the mid-1830s, Virginia’s transportation focus was on canals and turnpikes; then the emphasis shifted to railroads, which were cheaper to build and maintain.

Virginia was one of the first states to charter railroad companies, most of which were small, local enterprises. The concept of rail lines connecting more than two or three towns – or a network joining systems and using standardized track gauges – would come later.

Looking at regional patterns of supply and demand, it became apparent that new rail lines were needed to connect the farms in the Shenandoah Valley and Central Virginia with the eastern seaports, notably Alexandria.

The first to be started was the Orange & Alexandria Railroad, chartered on March 27, 1848. It was to run north from Gordonsville, in Orange County to Tudor Hall, and then head east to Alexandria.

Surveying the O&ARR line started in 1850, with construction beginning

BUILDING THE MANASSAS GAP RAILROAD Not long after construction started on the O&ARR, another group began the planning for a new east-west rail line that would connect the farms and markets in the Shenandoah Valley with Alexandria. The line would pass through Warren, Fauquier and Prince William counties, and connect with the O&ARR at Tudor Hall.

Edward Carrington Marshall (18051882), was the son of Chief Justice John Marshall, and had served in the Virginia General Assembly from 18361838. Acting on his father’s belief that developing Virginia’s transportation facilities should be a top priority, he was a driving force in building the new line.

E.C. Marshall lined up stockholders, including wealthy landowners, merchants and farmers seeking an economical way to ship their agricultural products, and was elected

through the mountains. It was also aligned with Thoroughfare Gap, to the east. Hunting paths, roads and railroads – and more recently, Interstate 66 – all passed through the two gaps.

“Manassas Gap” was also the name chosen by the directors for the new railroad. Survey work under Chief Engineer J. McD. Goldsborough started in August 1850, and was completed by the time the Manassas Gap Railroad directors held their first annual meeting, which took place at Salem (Marshall) on Sept. 2, 1851.

EDWARD C. MARSHALL

president of the new corporation.

Active supporters included Edward Carter Turner, James William Foster and Robert Beverley.

On March 9, 1850, the corporation was granted a charter by the Virginia General Assembly to start building a rail line from the terminus of the O&ARR at Tudor Hall west to “Manassa’s Gap” in the Blue Ridge, near the FauquierWarren County line. From there, the line would head south to Strasburg, and into the Shenandoah Valley. As part of their charter, telegraph line poles were to be placed in the railroad right-of-way, bringing yet another new service.

Mapping the route of the MGRR was not without issues. Directors from Northern Fauquier originally wanted to run the line through their properties along present-day U.S. 50 to Ashby’s Gap, and Alfred Rector, a major stockholder, allegedly insisted that the MGRR loop past his store and warehouse in Rectortown.

Construction began at Tudor Hall soon afterward, and headed west. Before the work was started, the directors decided to use the standard 4 ft., 8-inch narrow gauge for the MGRR tracks.

As with other railroad projects, in addition to local farm labor, many of the workers were Irish immigrants, and unfortunately, some remembered – and relived – centuries old quarrels that started in their homeland. There were

Planning, surveying and construction of the Manassas Gap Railroad began in 1850, and continued until the start of the Civil War. Contractors were hired to build bridges, culverts and railway stations, and immigrant laborers and supervisors did much of the track work. few problems during the workweek, but on Saturday nights scores were settled, usually after too many drinks.

There were incidents in Alexandria and Manassas Junction, and in Fauquier County, young Turner Ashby, later a general in the Confederate army, “… organized a cavalry company of militia (the “Mountain Rangers”) to maintain order when the railroad laborers would get into drunken brawls,” according to

There are different theories about where the name “Manassa’s Gap” originated.

“Manesseh” was a biblical king of Judah, and according to George C. Round in History of Manassas: Interesting Reminiscences of the Town (1897), a French Jew named “Manasseh” lived in the vicinity of the gap, hence the name.

If so, that must have been long ago, as records in the Frederick County Courthouse mention Manassas Run and Manassas Settlements as early as 174344, and “Manasses Gap” appeared on Thomas Jefferson’s 1787 revision of the map of Virginia drawn in 1851 by Peter Jefferson and Joshua Fry. At 887 feet elevation, Manassas Gap is the lowest point in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and therefore the most logical location for a passage 14

Some of the railroad workers passing through were predisposed to brawling after the workweek was over, and law enforcement – and sometimes local militia – were called to quell the violence. In Northern Fauquier, the ‘Mountain Rangers’ under Capt.

Turner Ashby was organized for that purpose. Credit: West Virginia State Archives.

John K. Gott in The Years of Anguish (1998).

Construction companies were also hired to work on the railroad, especially when specialized engineering was needed to build bridges and culverts, as well as handling vertical walls and slopes.

Very detailed contracts were written that clearly outlined the scope of the work, the level of quality expected, and the predictable costs. But even so, there were disputes. In the archives of the John K. Gott Library in Marshall, one finds a copy of a contract between the Manassas Gap Railroad and the Kennedy & Lake Construction Co. signed in March 1851.

Their work was completed by 1853, but a dispute arose centered around additional costs incurred by the contractors, amounting to $7,895, when they ran into solid rock and had to blast their way through. The lawsuit was finally settled in the Circuit Court of Fauquier County – in favor of Kennedy & Lake – in April 1857.

The tracks reached Gainesville and Haymarket in May 1852; The Plains in June; Salem in July; and Rectortown in August. By December 1852, the new line had reached Markham, about four miles east of Manassas Gap. However, upon reaching the foothills of the Blue Ridge, the project slowed considerably.

It took until November 1853 to reach Linden, and an additional eleven months to reach Strasburg, completing

It is noteworthy that while he was president, Mr. Marshall forbade trains from running on Sundays. It would be years before worship services at the towns along the route, including Gainesville and Haymarket, would be disturbed by the shriek of a train whistle.

Along with the rail line construction, the MGRR began acquiring new locomotives and rolling stock. Between 1852 and 1855, the MGRR bought at least eight locomotives (4x4x0 and 4x6x0) built by the Smith & Perkins Locomotive Works, located at the corner of Wolfe and Union streets in Alexandria.

In business since the mid-1830s, Smith & Perkins also supplied engines for the O&ARR, Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsylvania Central. In 1856, the MGRR purchased a 10-wheel freight locomotive from A. W. Denmead & Sons of Baltimore.

‘ALL ABOARD’ FOR HAYMARKET The impact of the MGRR on the Town of Haymarket was immediate, and dramatic. The roadbed was located on the south side of town, effectively cutting it off from North Fork Creek, a popular recreation area for residents, as well as a reliable water source in times of drought.

In Haymarket, a Town in Transition (1998), Sarah M. Turner recalled that “Animals grazing in the pastures beside the creek were startled by the sound of

the train and the hooting of the train horn… cattle and horses would break through fences to go to the creek for water, and be hit by the train, causing many lawsuits against the railroad company.”

Of course, there were positive developments as well. “Transportation was provided to the upper and lower towns, and to Alexandria. The arduous travel by horseback or buggy was replaced by the train,” wrote Mrs. Turner. “Mail and newspapers out of Washington were now dropped off by the train at the depot. Passengers from the city visited friends in the country more often.”

Delivery of regional mail was also improved by the railroad, which carried the mail from Manassas Junction to the railway stations between Gainesville and Piedmont Station (presentday Delaplane). “The Post Office Department paid the railroad $1,414 a year to carry the mail,” according to Mrs. Turner.

Not long after the MGRR and O&ARR lines were connected at Tudor Hall, the settlement there was renamed Manassas Junction, and later simply called Manassas. However, if there was a “honeymoon” for the two railroads that were joined at Manassas Junction, it didn’t last long.

Rather than laying their own tracks from Manassas to Alexandria, the MGRR rented the O&ARR tracks, and was charged an annual “interchange

fee” of $33,500. While the MGRR board of directors initially agreed to the arrangement, later they felt that they were being gouged.

In addition, when O&ARR locomotives hauled MGRR freight from Manassas to Alexandria (28 miles), they were paid 15 cents per ton. On the other hand, when MGRR locomotives hauled O&ARR freight from Manassas to Strasburg (60 miles), they were paid at the same rate – 15 cents per ton.

Obviously, the O&ARR was getting a better deal.

In 1853, the MGRR board applied for, and received, an additional charter from the General Assembly to build their own “Independent Line” from Gainesville through the Cameron Valley to Jones Point in Alexandria, near the present-day Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

Leaving Alexandria, the line would have passed through Annandale, the City of Fairfax, Sudley Mill at Bull Run, and finally back to Gainesville.

In addition, the MGRR was authorized to build a second new line connecting the proposed Independent Line at Gainesville with Purcellville in Loudoun County. This new enterprise was called the Loudoun Branch Railroad Company.

Construction on the new projects began in 1854, and certain that they would be successful, MGRR President Edward C. Marshall claimed that both lines would be in service before the end of 1856.

However, the higher cost of land in Northern Virginia and the substantial grading and filling that were necessary on both lines significantly drove up construction costs. The work had to be done by hand using local labor, which was more expensive.

Still committed, in 1856, the

Most of the MGRR locomotives that passed through Haymarket and Gainesville were purchased from the Smith & Perkins Locomotive Works in Alexandria, and appeared much like this replica.

MGRR board voted to extend the Loudoun line to Harper’s Ferry as well.

The Panic of 1857 reduced available investment capital, and within a year, the MGRR was deep in debt. Work on the Independent and Loudoun railbeds had been completed by that time, and the rails were sitting in Alexandria – but there was no money to pay the workers to lay them.

The MGRR board put the two new projects on hold, and as finances allowed, continued the work on the other end of the line in the Shenandoah Valley. The MGRR finally reached the original goal of Mt. Jackson, Va., 85 miles from Manassas, on March 2, 1859. Used in the construction to that point was 38 miles of 60 lb. per yard T-rail, and 38 miles of 52-lb. per yard T-rail.

By 1860, the financial picture had improved, and the focus returned to completing the unfinished lines. At that time, the MGRR owned nine locomotives and 230 railcars of all kinds, and had erected 15 brick and 24 wooden buildings along the line.

On an annual basis, the company was transporting 28,000 tons of freight, and carried 23,000 passengers.

The plan to open more stops in the Shenandoah Valley continued, with tracks laid as far south as Timberville and grading completed to Broadway, the ultimate goal being the City of Harrisonburg. In early 1861, over 1,100 tons of rail purchased by the MGRR for expansion south in the Valley was in storage in a warehouse in Alexandria.

But war clouds were gathering on the horizon.

In Part 2, to be published in July 2014, the Manassas Gap Railroad figures prominently in the Civil War, but is virtually destroyed. It rises from the ashes and ultimately becomes part of a large rail network.

The Haymarket Museum on Washington Street has created a special exhibit, “Salute to the Railways,” which will run from June 14 through July 20.

The museum is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and by appointment. Call (703) 753-3712 for more information.

Planting Seeds for Growth Grow, Learn & Thrive’s Discovery Garden at Vint Hill Tiny dirty hands, contagious laughter and bright plants fill a patch of land located at Vint Hill, the organization Grow, Learn & Thrive has created a Discovery Garden with the hopes of educating and inspiring young children. Understanding the importance of early childhood development Gwen Sadowski, the Founder and Executive Director of the organization, worked with a small team to build a stimulating environment with unlimited positive experiences for underprivileged children in the area to embrace.

The garden is an active and exciting place for kids to play and learn.

Above: Co-founders Gwen Sadowski and Laurie Barnett sit on the handmade seats for children and families to read on.

Adventurous and expansive in size, the garden sits forty-five feet wide by one hundred and thirty-five feet long and is mapped with themed miniature gardens throughout. Mulched walkways lead from one feature to the next encouraging movement and exploration. There will be a variety of colors and types of flowers including a few indigenous and most of the others are heat and drought tolerant.

In addition to flowers, vegetables were planted for nutrition as well as to exhibit diversity among the plants.

“The garden was designed and created to offer children the opportunity to learn about growing produce, herbs and flowers as well as the study of plants and the benefits of insect lifecycles all while enjoying playtime and exploration within a natural setting,” Sadowski explained.

With the help of Grow, Learn & Thrive co-founder Laurie Barnett, volunteers, gardeners and board members the garden became a reality.

Sadowski worked with Ed Moore of Brookside Communities, it was with his help and excitement that he offered to get approvals and prepare the soil. Moore reached out to Ronnie Smoot who trucked in approximately thirty dump truck loads of topsoil to make the garden productive.

“I was aware that with some effort and planning, a vegetable/herb/flower garden could be designed to pique the children’s imaginations even on a fairly restricted budget,” she mentioned on the inception of the garden. “Ed and Ronnie B road R un L ifestyle

said. “We do have frequent storytimes, craft activities and planting parties in the garden with the children.”

Currently the garden serves children within the ages of two to thirteen years old. These children have participated in ladybug releases, insect lifecycle discussions, butterflies, vegetable lifecycles and their uses in food as well as the idea of peacefully sharing the garden with other small helpful creatures like toads.

“It has become a place to meet, learn and socialize in addition to growing crops, Sadowski mentioned. “I believe it serves its purpose in that it has exposed children to gardening and to the many learning experiences that a garden can offer.”

really got the garden started for us with their hard work and it’s even bigger than I imagined.”

Sadowski sketched out a plan for the creative garden that included growing vegetables and learning with outdoor play and exploration. Features the first year included a miniature corn maze and a pizza garden planted with tomatoes, herbs and peppers. The children at Vint Hill were also consulted, with the use of cut-outs, stickers and large posters they made collages to illustrate their dreams for the garden.

“Their artistic renderings drove the ultimate design and implementation of the project and they have been involved in nearly every planting throughout the year,” she said.

Top Left: The Lending Library is full of books for children to read and borrow while visiting the garden.

Top Right: Vegetables, herbs and flowers all grow in the garden.

Bottom Right: Ronnie Smooth and Ed Moore were both active in getting the garden started. Their hardwork and dirt made the garden a reality for Sadowski and Barnett.

Built as a place for entertainment and encouragement, the families in transitional housing have been utilizing the tranquil space and greenery to continue to grow. The children especially enjoy the lending library, a small birdhouse-like building that holds children’s books to read. Protected in a weather resistant structure the books are left for tiny minds to absorb alone on the handmade wooden seats or with their parents as they cozy up under the shade of a tree.

“In addition to independent reading children are encouraged to explore the garden with their parents when our volunteers aren’t present,” Sadowski

22

With no fences or restrictions the garden is truly a place where the kids can play. Families there have been encouraged to use the flowers and vegetables from the garden by taking only what they need and sharing with their neighbors.

“I have seen the wonder in children’s eyes, I have watched faces light up as books were read and pure enthusiasm when they realized they could take and keep books at the end of a session,” Sadowski says of her recent experiences in the garden. “In this stress-free, informal environment, I have enjoyed the excitement of children sometimes not accustomed to this level of attention or respect almost in disbelief that I would build and place a lending library in their garden… and trust them with it. This garden has been a beautiful place of discovery, a place where children learn that they can grow their own dreams.”

The Grow, Learn & Thrive Discovery Garden is located on Hunsberger Drive in Vint Hill. As the garden and projects continue to grow the organization is in need of volunteers, books and various materials. To donate new or gently used books please email Laurie at laurie@growlearnthrive.org.

To sign up to volunteer or to make a monetary donation please email Gwen at gwen@growlearnthrive.org. For more information about Grow, Learn & Thrive please visit their website at www. growlearnthrive.org or follow them on Facebook for up-to-date information on their healthy garden.

Warrenton Farmer’s Market Surrounded by bucolic fields, active land and hardworking farmers, Warrenton is the ideal location for a thriving and lively farmers market. This season marks thirtynine years that area farmers and craftsman have been providing residents with vibrant produce, fresh meat and agricultural products straight from Fauquier County and the Commonwealth. Every weekend families, neighbors, business owners, local chefs and more can be seen grabbing must have items for the week.

Organized and managed by the Planning & Community Development department with Town of Warrenton, the market - simply put - works to connect growers with shoppers. Understanding the importance of shopping local, early on the town initiated a rule to keep all of the products available from Virginia.

at two locations each week. Located at the corner of South 5th Street and Lee Street vendors set up shop on Saturdays in the municipal parking lot. Two rows of colored tents create a wide alley for shoppers to peruse items like fruits, vegetables, flowers and baked goods.

Sarah Mobius and Bart Terburg run Great Oak Farm in Rixeyville. They specialize in freerange, humanely raised non-GMO poultry.

As stated in their market guidelines, “The Warrenton Farmer’s Market is a Virginia Grown Market which means produce and fruits sold must be grown at farms located within the Commonwealth of Virginia. As the Warrenton Farmer’s Market purpose is based on the local agricultural base, emphasis is first placed on the selling of local products produced by the registered vendor.”

Evelyn Williams of Cooch’s Homemade Baked Goods located in Warrenton is a farmers’ market veteran, bringing with her each week an assortment of cakes, ham biscuits, cookies, pies, apple dumplings and more. “I’ve been doing this for a long time, almost 27 years on Saturdays,” Williams said. “I prepare throughout the week, some things take longer than others to make but by the time Saturday comes I’m ready.”

Her homemade lemonade is quite popular among shoppers and vendors alike.

Other seasoned Fauquier vendors include Susan Olinger of Sue’s Pies & More in Warrenton offers fruits, cider, pumpkins and baked goods; Debbie and Larry Day of The Green Thumb in Sumerduck bring vegetables, fruits, plants, herbs and flowers; Fauquier County Master Gardeners are there with agriculture education information and plants; Thea Green and Diana Wright with Turtle Mountain Farm have vegetables, figs and soaps from Marshall.

George Williams with Primrose Farm holds up one of his watercolor paintings that are available at the market on Satudays.

Approximately 25 vendors are registered for this season with seven from Fauquier County and the remaining from areas like Alexandria, Culpeper, Madison, Rappahanock, Shenandoah, Tappahanock, Warsaw and Westmoreland counties. With this reach outside of the county, a variety of fruits and vegetables unavailable during certain growing seasons are now available to Warrenton residents.

“We come every week in the summer,” one shopper said. “It’s the best way to get fresh vegetables and fruit for our family – and our kids love coming because they can sometimes get free samples!”

A seven month long season, the market is open from April through October with vendors 28

Her dog smoothies are made with all natural ingredients like chicken, potatoes, flax, avocado, apples and blueberries. “I try my recipes out on my dogs at home, if the picky one eats it then I know it’s a success!”

Fragrant flowers fill the booth from Primrose Farm located in Nokesville, run by George and Kathleen Williams.

Along with their bright flower arrangements shoppers will find a basket filled with various hand-painted watercolors available for purchase.

“I love watercolor,” George said as he thumbed through to pull one of his favorite recent works. The basket was filled with paintings of colorful flowers and animals, which would make a perfect accent in any home or a thoughtful gift.

The Warrenton Farmer’s Market is open on Saturdays in the municipal parking lot on the corner of South 5th Street and Lee Street from 7am to 12 noon as well as Wednesdays on Hopsital Hill near the Bistro from 7am to 1:30pm.

On Wednesdays, Hospital Hill in front of the Bistro hosts the market.

Although a tad smaller than the turnout on Saturdays the products are just as sought after. Vendors like Dina Callow of Dream Keeper Farm in Marshall sets up her booth with goat meat and products. The Shenandoah Spice Company is present with Joshua Burrows selling dried herbs, spices and seasonings ideal for summer grilling. Jim and Robin Rider bring their meat, eggs, condiments and soap from their farm, Rider’s Backfield Farm, in Etlan.

“It’s easy for me to get here during the week with the kids in school,” a shopper commented. “I like being able to meet the farmers and know where my food comes from. It’s the best part about this town, I can honestly say I know the man who grew my vegetables.”

Evelyn Williams of Cooch’s Homemade Baked Goods and The Green Thumb Farm in Sumerduck run by Larry and Debbie Day are at the farmer’s market on Saturdays.

Below, herbs, plants and flowers can be purchased from many local vendors.

The Warrenton Farmers Market is open on Saturdays from 7:00am to 12:00 noon and Wednesdays from 7:00am to 1:00pm.
