We love our local farmers and the Glade Spring Farmers Market!

If your garden is bountiful, consider setting up shop at the market this year. It's a great way to support the local economy, make a bit of cash, and have fun connecting with community members while selling them healthy food options. 🍅🥔🥕🫑🫛

🌻 Calling All Farmers!

Our community deserves the freshest, most local food possible — and that starts with YOU.

We're growing our farmers market and looking to connect with local farmers who want to bring their fresh produce, crops, and farm goods directly to our community! Whether you grow vegetables, raise animals, cultivate herbs, or harvest fruit — if it comes from your land, we want it at our market.

Interested? Drop a comment below, send us a message, or reach out at gladespringmarket@gmail.com.

We'd love to have you at our market! 🚜🥕🌽

Dr. Burriss is a favorite here at the Powerhouse! Some of you might remember that she brought some of her students to meet with community members and gather information about what it means to live in a small town in rural SWVA. The information they gathered has helped inform Powerhouse programming!

Dr. Burriss is an award-winning Appalachian scholar, so if you have the opportunity to attend this speaking event, you should go! You won't be disappointed!

In honor of Women’s History Month, on Sunday, March 15 at 3 p.m., Theresa Burriss, PhD, will celebrate many of the courageous, fierce women of Appalachia, who defy negative and reductive stereotypes that persist to this day.

Whether real life heroines, such as Helen Matthews Lewis, Hazel Dickens, Marat Moore, and Suzanne Stryk, or fictional ones, such as Lydia Moore McQueen, Gertie Nevels, Ivy Rowe, and Carrie Bishop, all the women serve as powerful role models to women and men alike, Appalachian or not. Come be inspired by these women’s amazing stories!
