Like the remodel concept picture above? With your help it'll be a reality soon!

Sistersville is a fresh food desert, which consequently affects many surrounding communities. Families often struggle to access fresh produce, locally raised meats, and even quality shelf-stable goods - all of which are produced right here in West Virginia.

That’s why we’re building something different. The Local Collective Market is a grassroots effort created by and for the people of Sistersville and neighboring communities. Our mission is simple:

Support small farms, value-added food producers, and local bakers by providing a reliable marketplace, maker space, and various related training opportunities.
Bridge the gap in food access by bringing nutritious and affordable options back home and supporting the benefit programs that assist our neighbors.
Foster community and empower local families by hosting lifestyle, wellness, agricultural, community development, and food sustainability centered outreach events.

Here’s how you can support The Local Collective Market’s initiatives today:

Become a Steward of Sustainability. Contribute an amount to overhead costs, program development, and operational expansion. No amount is too small to help us maintain this project for generations to come!
Become an Impact Partner. Your substantial contribution of $2,500+ could be the funding needed to push building renovations across the finish line. From replacing damaged doors and windows to completing the roof repair - this community project needs its community.
Become a Founding Sponsor. Custom wooden signs representing our Founding Sponsors will be displayed indefinitely in our market to honor their positive community impact. Your donation of $5,000+ significantly expands our capabilities, bolsters opportunity for local vendors, and ensures long-term accessibility to our neighbors.

This project is about more than providing nutrient dense food - it’s about restoring dignity, choice, and the value of “wellness” to our neighbors while strengthening our local economy. To see this vision through, we need your help. Every dollar raised goes directly to launching The Local Collective Market: a welcoming space where farmers, producers, and families can come together. A space where everyone has a seat at the table.
