About the Market
The Onancock Market is a 501(c)3 volunteer-driven organization, established in 2012 for the purpose of providing a venue for local farmers, watermen and artisans to offer their fresh, seasonal, and locally grown and manufactured products and qualified art directly to residents and visitors in the community.
We are a vendor-produced only market, which means that all vendors have made, grown or caught 100% of the products they offer for sale.
Shoppers are buying directly from the source.
The Indoor Winter Market opens in its temporary home at 20 Market St. on December 7th!
The Onancock Market serves to:
Create and stimulate economic development and viability of our local farming and fishing community and support the regional arts community.
Revive the historic role of Onancock as a regional market center and promote Onancock as a shopping destination.
Provide a venue for families, friends and neighbors to gather creating a greater sense of community.
Educate the public about the importance of our local agricultural heritage and the role played by farmers and watermen.
Educate the community about the benefits of growing, selling, cooking, preserving, eating and celebrating local food.
Get involved!
We are always looking to expand our amazing network of volunteers, vendors, and community members who make the market the special place it is.
