The VOFM is a unique local producer only (NOT a crafts market) farmers market which has become an important and cherished part of Vienna community life. The market brings together local farmers and vendors providing freshly prepared traditional and international foods. A vendor list can be found at: Link
The VOFM is managed by volunteers from the Optimist Club of Greater Vienna, Inc., a non-profit organization established in 1955.
The Optimists arrange for local musicians to perform each week and provide and operate the sound system and audio mixing board. The live music is an enjoyable and beloved feature of the market.
The Optimists use the money raised at the VOFM to provide scholarships and support local schools, charities and clubs.
Although Vienna is a very dog friendly town, state health regulations prohibit dogs (except service dogs) from entering the VOFM. The Optimists dog sit (Pooch Parking at Manager’s tent) while their humans’ shop.
VOFM has grown and has a handbook of operations.
VOFM participates in Farmspread.com which is a portal for vendors and market customers. This portal has an interactive map showing vendor locations and their product profiles as well as the music performers for each market day.
