Sponsored by Rice's Hotel / Hughlett's Tavern, the Heathsville Farmers Market offers fresh Northern Neck produce and meats, bread and baked goods, flowers and nursery plants, gourmet peanuts, local handcrafts, and more.

An Earth Day celebration will also take place in an adjacent field. This activity is sponsored by NAPS (Northumberland Association for Progressive Stewardship).

Over 50 vendors have signed up so far, and more are expected. Shoppers will find Franco Produce, local meat from Summer Duck Farm and Village Farms, Whitley's gourmet peanuts, Cyndi's Pepper Jelly, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, and oyster spat and floats from Capt. Tom's Oyster Gardening.

Also on hand will be sellers of handmade jewelry, home baked goods, quilted items, soaps, pottery, embroidered items, artwork, knitted and crocheted items, candles, books, and more.

Inside the historic Tavern itself, the "Heritage Arts Center" gift shoppe will be open for business. Shoppers will find artists working in their studios, and locally-made artisan wares for sale. The Tavern Café will be serving light luncheon fare, homemade by the volunteers of the Tavern's Culinary Group.

Dating back to the 1700's, historic Rice's Hotel / Hughlett's Tavern is home to four active artisan guilds, which will be on-site that day, demonstrating and selling their wares. This includes the Quilt Guild, Blacksmith Guild, Woodworkers Guild, and the Spinners & Weavers Guild.

The Heathsville Farmers market is the centerpiece of the "Make It a Heathsville Saturday" community initiative, which promotes local interesting shops, attractions, eats and historical sites. This includes Ye Olde Book Shoppe, a used book store run by the volunteers of the Northumberland Public Library, St. Stephen's Episcopal Church Thrift Shop, and Kathy's Korner. The old Northumberland Jail will be open for tours, courtesy of the Northumberland County Historical Society. Pick up an Historic Heathsville Walking Map at the Tavern, and wander past homes and structures from every century since the 1700s.

A non-profit run entirely by volunteers, Historic Rice's Hotel / Hughlett's Tavern is located at 73 Monument Place in Heathsville, hidden just off Route 360 behind the old Northumberland Courthouse. All other sites participating in "Make It a Heathsville Saturday" are located directly on Route 360 in Heathsville. Primis Bank is a major sponsor of this community initiative.

The Heathsville Farmers Market takes place on the third Saturday of the month, April through October. There are new vendors at every market.
