The Virginia Master Food Volunteer program is making it easier for consumers to learn about good nutrition and local foods.

The American Farmland Trust has kicked off its fourth annual America’s Favorite Farmers Markets contest at votemyfarmersmarket.org.

Virginia new potatoes are small and tasty and ready for cooking—and you can get them at your local farmers’ market or produce stand right now.

All it took was a warehouse, cooling units and a large loading dock to help the fresh produce industry in Southwest Virginia take off.

According to a recently released survey, American consumers shop more often for food with labels that read "natural," "organic" or "grown in the USA."

Shoppers at farmers’ markets enjoy the freshness, taste and quality—and simplicity—of local produce and meats straight from the farm. But farmers can’t feed a growing world population using small-farm technology from a previous century.

Beets can be a delicious summer side dish, as well as a colorful addition to an otherwise green salad.

A food desert is not a new geography term; it’s an apt description of areas where low-income consumers either cannot afford healthy, nutritious food or don’t have affordable transportation to that food.

Eating fresh fruits and vegetables doesn’t have to end with the summer. Fall vegetables—like broccoli—are fresh and full of benefits.
