Tuesday evenings once produce comes in. They will be selling garden
vegetables, berries, walnuts, baked goods, homemade crafts, and
farm-fresh eggs! According to Lionel and Brenda they enjoy babying
their chickens to ensure a good supply of eggs. They just ask that you
not tell the other animals on their farm! Brenda also takes special

This is the fourth year for Blaithin Flower Farm at the Abingdon Farmers Market. Beka McCune and Jeff Clark grow over 50 varieties of flowers on 1/3 of an acre in Meadowview. They practice sustainable land use and use organic methods whenever possible. They strive for high quality flowers that their customers can enjoy week long. New this year – lisianthus and lilies!!
But you won’t just find flowers at the the farm. Jeff’s chickens supply some fine eggs to the market. These chickens are completely free-range and are fed fresh milk or whey daily from their pasture buddies Meadow and Brownie, the milk cows.
In the spring you will find them with garden starter plants, early produce, and Mother’s Day wreaths. In the fall, Beka gets to work on fall dried flower wreaths eventually changing to fresh holiday wreaths.
Special orders for events, restaurants and other venues are welcome.
