Greenbrier Valley · West Virginia
Connecting producers, consumers, gardeners and neighbors to build a more local, resilient and nutritious food system in and around Alderson.
Our mission
The Alderson Community Food Hub was created to coordinate local markets, groceries, gardens and education in a way that benefits both the people who produce food and the people who bring it home.
Programs and projects
The former website described an interconnected set of programs serving shoppers, growers, children, seniors and local producers.
A full-service neighborhood grocer and café historically located at 109 Cherry Avenue. It offered produce, local meat and eggs, West Virginia products, a deli, grocery staples and a community coffee corner.
Launched in spring 2011, the market created opportunities for local farmers, bakers, craftspeople and musicians while making nutritious food more accessible.
Historical gardens were located at St. Mary of the Greenbrier Catholic Church and the FEMA lot on the Monroe County side of the river.
A 2016 partnership with Grow Appalachia offered workshops, training, seeds, tools, soil testing, tilling and soil amendments for community and home gardeners.
The Community Market's Carrot Club encouraged children to learn about healthy eating, local buying, gardening and community participation through weekly activities and rewards.
Educational programming connected food choices with a sustainable future for the Greenbrier Valley.

The market described doubling SNAP benefits, Senior Vouchers and WIC benefits to improve access to fresh local food.
