Sponsorship funding enables the Market to expand its outreach and inclusive programs, such as the acceptance of SNAP/EBT benefits, which provide equitable access to fresh, healthy, and locally produced food for families across the New River Valley. These programs not only combat food insecurity but also strengthen the local food economy by connecting growers with a broader customer base. From small family farms to local craftspeople and bakers, every vendor at the Market benefits from the stable, well-supported infrastructure that sponsors help make possible. In turn, the Market contributes to a resilient local economy, improved public health, and a stronger sense of community.

The Blacksburg Farmers Market gratefully acknowledges the commitment of its sponsors in helping to cultivate a space where local agriculture and community spirit grow side by side.
