Just updating my review to say I still love this farmers market. When I was living in Southside, we…read moreused to come here a lot. Now I come occasionally to check it out with my friends still in Southside. My favorite vendors that come here are Maharajah Coffee and First Stop Donuts. I love the people running them! I enjoy that it's right in the park so there are quite a few benches to sit on. There are also fun paths to explore with a warm drink and yummy snacks. I highly recommend ordering goodies from the vendors then having a picnic in Forest Hill Park. On my recent visit, I bought some rainbow carrots, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, fennel, and Europa fresh bread. As it gets colder there can be fewer vendors, but they carry everything you could hope and dream of. I loved checking out a vendor that sold holiday candles. There is tons of parking here and it's easy to bike or bus to. I'd recommend checking this market out.

Thanks to my 2-seater I just squeezed between two cars that really didn't care about conscientious parking to allow another car room to park! The social media ad for the farmers market said 30 to 40 vendors. Didn't feel that there were as many. Maybe because of the weather. I got some goat milk bath soap!

Not only are the products good, there is a plethora of options, from coffee and ice cream to bread and biscuit to pierogi and ravioli to eggs and cheese; produce, flowers, knife sharpening, the list goes on... parking can get a little tricky sometimes but there are plenty of lots around so just keep circling you'll get a spot. I love coming to the farmers market after we get some breakfast around the corner and even if we just walk through and don't even buy anything. It's just so much fun to see people out there selling their goods and other folks just there to have a good time and shop!

This is about as good as it's going to get for a small-town farmer's market…read more I love that my hometown is doing this. I love that it's still in that somewhat awkward beginning stage of "how does this work?" (or maybe, that's just me...). I love that the vendors are quick to point you to another vendor if they're out of something or aren't carrying something that day. Easy to find, super cheap prices. The big drawback is that you can't get eggs or any meat products... yet. Excited to see how this market grows in the future!

PG Farmers' Market has been one of my Saturday destinations for years. Although it is a small…read morefarmers' market it has a lot to offer and at prices that are way lower than any other in the area. They have a wide range of local produce, eggs, honey, coffee (roasted locally, not grown), and lots of assorted craft items. I typically go for the eggs and produce. On this occasion, I bought some coffee from a vendor which was amazing and only $7 as compared to some local coffed I bought in RVA for $12. I also bought some veggies, eggs from one of the few vendors that sell them, and hoop cheese. This is a great little farmer's market. The only down side is that there are some weekends that vendors are scant. My favorite thing to get is eggs and there are times when there are no vendors with eggs. Even still, I never leave empty handed and never spend more than $20.

A Fife and Drum band played and marched through numerous times and they had a great husband and wife duet singing and playing electric keyboard which added a nice festival feel to the beautiful sunny day with breezes blowing off the river. There are a few shops in the market area including a gift shop, bookstore with great used books, many on local history, some outdoor outfitters and a Ben and Jerry's. I recommend going early. The market starts at 8. We arrived around 930 and it was already very very crowded but luckily we found a parking spot in their small parking garage.

The selection here is immense with a large variety of jarred goods, drinks, dairy products and even meats. I ended up buying a jar of pickled watermelon rinds and sweet potato butter. Both were delicious selections that I haven't really seen anywhere else. The cashier was really nice and bagged my items for me. They only accept Cash or Checks, not CC. This prevented me from grabbing more, so I'd definitely recommend coming prepared with cash so you can get everything you'd like. The prices are fair and cheaper than what you'd find in the grocery store, so it's a decent trade-off for the cash-only model!

I know that the next time, I'll bring a cooler so I can stock up on their oxtails and pick up some steaks! The staff here was super friendly and welcoming, and, if you're lucky, they have some samples for you to try (they had juicy sausages when we were there).
