New Roots Community Farm is a nonprofit farm and year-round farm market located at 167 Wolf Creek Road in Fayetteville, with an 82-acre property in the New River Gorge region. The farm was established by county government in 2017, began farm operations in 2019 and transitioned to nonprofit leadership in 2022, with its work centered on market access, land access and food access. The property includes a six-acre diversified vegetable operation that uses intensive, regenerative farming practices adapted to Central Appalachian agriculture. The on-farm market provides a retail space for New Roots’ own harvest as well as products from other regional farmers and food producers, creating a year-round outlet for locally grown and produced foods. The market’s selection includes fresh produce and cut flowers along with eggs, milk, cheese, grains, dry goods, honey, syrup, jam, coffee, tea, cold beverages, ferments, snacks, condiments, baked goods, home goods and gifts. The rotating producer lineup includes farms and food businesses from throughout West Virginia, with current examples including Gritts Farm, Spring Valley Orchard, Sunset Berry Farm, Terra Romance Farm, Owl Mountain Farm and local egg producer Jesse Richards. The farm also functions as a community food and education site, with programs that include community garden access, farm visits, educational programming, Farm to School initiatives and opportunities for residents to participate in the local food system. The Pickle Party was part of New Roots Community Farm’s Summer Social, a free, family-friendly afternoon. It was s celebration of summer that brought together food, demonstrations, live music, activities and local vendors, with the pickle party included among the afternoon’s offerings.
