New interview on our blog! We recently heard about a new farmers market opening up in the Lynchburg area and we had to find out more! We reached out to one of the founders, Brian Ray of Slowpoke Sourdough, and asked him to give us some background on the Rivermont Farmers Market, why they formed, and what makes it unique. The market will meet Wednesdays (4-7pm), from May through October at First Christian Church (3109 Rivermont Ave, Lynchburg, VA 24503). Opening day is May 6! https://localfoodlynchburg.com/2026/05/slowpoke-launches-rivermont-farmers-market/
