West Virginia is one of the best states to harvest ramps (wild leeks), a prized, pungent Appalachian springtime delicacy appearing from late April to early June. It should come as no surprise, then, that the beloved leek has its own festival. Held in April in Richwood, Feast of the Ramson is touted as the world’s largest ramps festival. A ramps-centric meal is complemented with potatoes, brown beans, cornbread, ham and bacon. Arts and crafts vendors are on site as well. This year’s festival takes place on April 18 at the community center.
