Welcome to the 2024 Ohio Valley Farmers’ Market!

Our summer market season is over for this year. The market will begin again in June 2025. Plan to join us every Saturday from 9 am to 12 noon at the Bellaire Municipal Parking Lot, 3200 Union Street, Bellaire, Ohio, and every Tuesday from 3 pm - 6 pm in the Boscov's parking lot at the Ohio Valley Mall, St. Clairsville, Ohio. The market runs from June through October.

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.
