Mid-Atlantic Black Farmers Market at E. Palmer

The Mid-Atlantic Black Farmers Market gathers in the parking lot of E. Palmer Supermarket, 201 East Berkley Avenue, on the first and third Saturday from June through November, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. VisitNorfolk lists the recurring calendar; WHRO’s August 2026 reporting follows the growers and gives the market a more specific face than a generic produce stop. Local Black farmers bring fresh fruit and vegetables, cold-pressed juice, sea moss and handmade skincare, with each week’s selection reflecting participating farms.

WHRO reported that the market was created to connect Berkley residents with local growers and culturally familiar crops, in an area where organizers described direct access to farm-fresh food as limited. It also reported that SNAP/EBT certification was still being pursued in August, so shoppers should verify payment options with the organizer rather than assume benefits are accepted. The market sits beside a Black-owned grocery store that has served the neighborhood since 2021, creating a useful food-shopping cluster at the published address.
