LVHMC Leesburg Farmers Market

LVHMC Leesburg Farmers Market is part of a nonprofit effort centered on local, sustainable, and organic agriculture, with a mission that also includes expanding economic opportunities for farmers and small food businesses and improving access to healthy local food. In Leesburg, that mission shows up as a market with produce farms, pasture-based meats, dairy, prepared foods, and specialty makers gathered under the Loudoun Valley HomeGrown Markets Cooperative banner. The market takes place at Virginia Village Shopping Center on Catoctin Circle, SE, giving shoppers a defined Leesburg stop for seasonal buying from May through October.

Why it matters locally

The Loudoun Valley HomeGrown Markets Cooperative frames this market around promoting local, sustainable, and organic agriculture while increasing economic opportunities for farmers and small food businesses. That local emphasis is reinforced by the cooperative’s producer-only requirement, which says vendors must provide documentation showing they grow or make what they sell and may not resell items from another farm or supplier. For shoppers, that means the market’s mix is built around direct relationships with growers, bakers, dairies, and prepared-food producers rather than anonymous wholesale inventory. The cooperative also describes its markets as places for experiential learning and access to healthy local foods, adding a public-facing purpose beyond routine weekly shopping.

What you'll find there

This market’s lineup stretches well beyond basic produce, with farms and food businesses covering fresh ingredients, ready-to-eat dishes, pantry staples, flowers, fiber, and body care. The mix leans heavily toward producers with distinct specialties, from mushrooms and goat cheese to alpaca yarn and frozen pho.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest visit-planning rule to know before heading over. The market is located at Virginia Village Shopping Center, 101 Catoctin Circle, S.E., in Leesburg. Restrooms are listed as unavailable, so plan your stop accordingly. The season runs from May through October rather than year-round. If you like to track weekly vendor and event updates before going, the cooperative sends a weekly newsletter focused on its markets, vendors, and events.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at this market, an important option for shoppers planning food purchases here. The market materials also indicate that payment methods are clearly communicated, which helps when you are deciding how to split purchases across produce, meat, bakery, and prepared-food vendors.
