Key Features
Farm to Table: Nelson is known for organic farms and locally-run businesses. From Goodwin Creek Farms to The Rock Barn to Blue Mountain Brewery, Nelson's roots are local.
Farm Fresh Vegetables
The Nelson Farmer's Market in Nellysford is worth the drive. The field of big tents give this market a more farm-fresh feel and makes bad weather no excuse not to go. The pace here is slower, and that's just fine!
