Patriot Pop-Up
What is Patriot Pop-Up?
The Patriot Pop-Up is a special collaboration between Capitol Market and Patriot Guardens, made possible through support from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation. Located at the Capitol Market in Charleston, WV, this pop-up celebrates the creativity and hard work of veteran and military family entrepreneurs while showcasing the vital role farmers markets play in building strong, resilient local food systems.
​
Patriot Guardens participants will bring a wide variety of products to the market—fresh, locally grown produce, small-batch jams and baked goods, handmade crafts, and other one-of-a-kind items.
​
Vendors rotate daily, so each visit offers something new to discover at the Patriot Pop-Up. This mini market will run through the end of 2025.
Becoming a Vendor
Interested in joining the Patriot Pop-Up mini market? Vendors must be active participants in the Patriot Guardens program. This means being engaged in workshops and/or participating as a vendor at our monthly on-base farmers market.
​
As a vendor, you’ll represent Patriot Guardens at Capitol Market, one of Charleston’s premier community spaces. Our program is dedicated to supporting West Virginia’s active military, veterans, and their families by providing hands-on training, mentorship, and resources that help turn ideas into successful business ventures.
The Patriot Pop-Up is more than a market—it’s an opportunity for our participants to showcase their work, connect with new customers, and take the next step in their entrepreneurial journey.
