Hillsboro’s inaugural Sunday Farmers Market runs from 1-3 p.m.

Hundreds attended the first Hillsboro Farmers Market on Sunday, April 16, which is slated to run each Sunday at Hillsboro’s Historic Old Stone School. through November 12. The market is located at the Old Stone School, 37098 Charles Town Pike, Hillsboro, VA 20132. The hours of the market are from 1-3 p.m.

“The opening day was a great success,” said Hillsboro’s Hill Top Farm owner Trent Ashman, who is spearheading the initiative. “All of our vendors did well and are especially pleased with the great location and the enthusiasm of the community.”

Vendors included Hill Top Farm, featuring beef and pork; Hillsboro’s Stoneybrook Farm with fresh chicken, eggs, vegetables, breads and baked goods; Lovettsville’s Basking Bee Farm & Apiary selling honey; Vale of the Blue Ridge Maple Farm offering maple syrup; Happy Creek Cheeses artisan goat milk cheeses and products; Wren’s Rest Gardens fresh-cut flowers and Aperture Coffee Roasters offering exotic single origin coffees.

Ford’s Fish Shack food truck was also on site for the opening as a preview to its ongoing satellite Hillsboro location set to begin later this month. Ford’s will be joining longtime Hillsboro fixture Moo Thru Ice Cream on the Millstone Plaza at the Old Stone School Thursdays through Sundays and during the Town’s Friday night Music in The Gap summer concert series and other special events.

Hillsboro Mayor Roger Vance, who was joined by the Hillsboro Town Council for the ribbon-cutting, said, “We are very encouraged by the turn out for the market, which is indicative of the desire of western Loudoun for reliable, one-stop access to healthy staples straight from our area and regional farmers.”
