Our 2025 market season will begin May 31, 2025. Plan to join us every Saturday from 9 am to 12 noon at our NEW location behind the WVU Bellaire Health Center, 3000 Guernsey Street in Bellaire, Ohio. The market runs from May 31 through October 25.
The OVFM encourages the growth and support of local farms and small businesses by educating consumers on the benefits and importance of supporting the market’s vendors.
About us
In 1978, a group of area citizens and farmers met with the Belmont County Extension Agent and began the process of forming a farmers’ market. After many months of meetings and planning, the Ohio Valley Farmers’ Market opened for its first season in July of 1979.
Our mission
The OVFM has resolved to not only provide a venue for existing farmers and small businesses to market their products but strives to encourage the growth of new farms through workshops and educational opportunities.
The Ohio Valley Farmers Market has moved to a NEW location. We are now located in the lower parking lots of the WVU Bellaire Health Center, 3000 Guernsey Street in Bellaire, Ohio.
