Loudoun Valley Homegrown Market Cooperative

The mission of LVHMC is to promote local, sustainable and organic agriculture, increase economic opportunities for farmers and small food businesses, to offer experiential learning about and access to healthy local foods, and to build a vibrant gathering place for residents and visitors.The Leesburg Farmers Market was founded in 1994. Due to its popularity and loyal following, the market became year-round in October 2006. Today, we host 5 additional, seasonal markets at locations throughout Loudoun County. On market days faithful shoppers attend the market because it connects them with their food sources.To sell at our “producer-only” markets, vendors must grow, raise, or make from scratch, ALL products they offer to you. In addition, our member vendors must produce those goods within a 125-mile radius of the market. That means the season for each fruit and vegetable is longer.

Number 1 Sons

Number 1 Sons is a brother-sister team making fermented foods and pickles. We use wild lactofermentation or Virginia apple cider vinegar to preserve our kimchis, pickles, krauts +++ more! Our kombucha is made with fine tea from Teaism. We make our foods at The Pickle Factory in Washington DC.

Number 1 Mom taught us that tasty food takes quality ingredients + the right amount of time and care. Since 2012, we’ve made Number 1 Mom proud with Number 1 Sons pickles + fermented foods.
