Sabrina Dooley has been the Smithfield Farmers Market Manager for Smithfield & Isle of Wight County since December of 2021, following obtaining her bachelor’s degree. She has a bachelor’s degree in Sociology/Anthropology with a minor in Museum Studies and Hospitality from Christopher Newport University. Her experience includes managing the Smithfield Farmers Market, as well as serving on the board for Harvest Faire, a non-profit for the Southeastern and Eastern Shore Food Bank. She also manages the Carrollton Christmas Market and Carrollton Farmers Market.

Sabrina also works with her tourism team to help put together several different events for the Town of Smithfield and Isle of Wight County including the Spring Vintage Market, Smithfield Arts Festival, Autumn Vintage Market, Mistletoe Market, and the Downtown Smithfield Christmas Parade.

Sabrina has facilitated numerous fundraising events at the Smithfield Farmers Market for local non-profits such as Isle of Wight Social Services, Isle of Wight Chapter of NAACP, Isle of Wight County Animal Services, and Smithfield Volunteer Fire Department.

Sabrina enjoys spending her free time visiting other markets in the state with her husband, Sean. When she isn’t spending time at other markets, she can be found at home in Carrollton baking every known thing with her husband, family, and animals (Charlie, Marnie, and Salem) as her taste testers.
