PEC’s Gilberts Corner Farmers Market sits at the intersections of Routes 15 and 50 in Loudoun County, about 1 mile east of Aldie, VA. For years, it has operated as a popular weekend destination to pick up authentic French pastries, locally famous barbecue, kettle corn, ice cream, Maine lobster rolls, fresh produce and meat, and Christmas trees during the holidays. The property is also the site of Wegmeyer Farms’ strawberries and pick-your-own sunflower patch.
In 2019, The Piedmont Environmental Council proudly announced our new ownership of the market and set forth plans to enhance its history as a place to find local food and fiber. We started by entering into a long-term agreement with local farmer, Tyler Wegmeyer, who runs his family’s strawberry and pick-your-own sunflower operation there and has been part of the market since 2012.
In 2021, PEC shifted management of the market to in-house, building off the foundation provided by Loudoun Valley Homegrown Markets Cooperative. The market now features over a dozen local farm and food stands and prepared food vendors.
