The food is fresh and incredibly delicious - many items are fresh from the farm and some still have dirt on them from the ground, all at very reasonable prices. It is also so fun to see the theming of the grocery store, especially the animatronic band. I highly recommend you try some of the baked goods as well; the bagels and cookies are excellent. Stop by when you're in the area - you won't regret it!

You don't walk in and out saying "is that it?" but you don't need to plan to be there longer than 10 minutes either. Friendly vendors, good parking. 3 stars for being exactly what it purports to be.

Be sure to walk through before you commit because some of the booths carry the same veggies but also offer more variety. I bought blackberries, tomatoes, lemon cucumbers (they are shaped like lemons!), onions and some beans. Prices are slightly higher than the grocery store but I like the idea of helping local farmers.

The nice thing about Cheryl's.... all the produce is Locally Grown including those famous Hanover Tomatoes which I love... The address on Yelp says Ashland, however they are really located 1 Mile past Over Hill Lake on Rt. 33 in Glen Allen heading West. The address is 13460 Mountain Rd., Glen Allen, Va. The Produce there are fresh, and about 1/3 less than what you pay at any Grocery Store and some of the other Produce Stands around Richmond. Since I live off of Glenside Dr., it takes me about 12 min. to drive there as it is an easy shot down Staples Mills Rd. Nice little place... Very clean, and I suggest checking it out. I spent about $10. today and I have more produce than what I can eat in a week. The only thing which they did not have was Hanover GREEN Tomatoes. I LOVE the taste of Fried Green Tomatoes. This was one of the BIG reasons why I went there today. Very disappointed. With Tomatoes coming in now by the bunch... They should always have Green Tomatoes on hand. Even if you do not like a Green Tomato, it does not cost more and they will always turn red. I like buying several with some ripe tomatoes because I am not forced to eat all of my tomatoes at one time.... Check it out.... Great small place and you will have plenty when you leave.... :-)

Owners are friendly and helpful. Small place. Produce is all good!! Very good peaches and lots…read moreof different kinds of eggplant when I went. Other items like peanuts and Amish Butter are good too. Everything I got was local, some stuff from N Carolina there. They have Hanover tomatoes of course but other kinds too. Good potatoes and lots of different kinds of peppers. Prices are very good. Peaches were a little high but really worth it, excellent flavor and juicy. Place is clean and easy to find. Just take 33 W towards Montpelier off of 295. Road goes down to 2 lanes. Past the Tyson chicken place. On the right at corner of Winns Church road.

First off, the summer version of the SOTJ farmers market is insanely awesome. I go at least several…read moretimes every summer. I was extemely hesistant going here in the winter b/c of: cold weather and limited selection and variety. I was wrong. I came here a couple of weeks with a friend who suggested we check it out and I am very glad she convinced me to go! There are available parking spaces EVERYWHERE. There was only about 20 or so cars in the front of the parking area and I never get to park there b/c it's so packed in the summer. There was still a decent amount of people coming and going even though it was in the 30s/40s. I got the Pork Sausage Biscuit from Real Country Sausage and it was heavenly as i remember it. Buttery biscuit with an amazing and juicy pork sausage patty. We also got a Ms. Yoders donut of course and that didn't dissappoint either. I think the only main difference between the summer and winter market is that there is a vastly smaller selection of fruits/vegetables in the winter time. The only vegetables I really saw were Kale. I was also able to buy some locally hand made soap for my GF as part of her care package. There's also a new screen print shop in town and they're called Flood Factory. They're similar to RVA threads and I almost bought a shirt from them but they didn't have my size. It's great to see this place popping even in the winter time.

We got a great haul at the farmers market today, especially for February!…read more My husband and I started out with bacon, egg & cheese sandwiches on fresh rolls from Jadeans Six O food truck- delicious and huge! But be prepared to wait a few minutes because they are made to order. We also grabbed a cup of coffee from Alchemist coffee- the Chia latte hit the spot on a slightly chilly morning. We ended up stocking our freezer with pork shoulder steak & ground pork from Babes in the Woods, some breakfast sausage from Tuckahoe Cattle Co, andouille & hot ground sausage from Dockery Branch Farms and some ground beef, NY strip steak & stew beef From Deer Run Farms in Amelia (they give you a helpful tip sheet on how to best prepare your steak). We obviously haven't tried any of the meats yet but will update with info as we cook them! As far as produce goes: We got some yummy Pink Lady Apples & Spicy Pepper Jelly from Ellen's Jams & Jellies. We also snagged some delicious dill pickle chips & pickled garlic cloves (called draculas dilemma, haha) from Sweet. Sour. Salty & Co. We sampled some tasty wildflower honey from Alfredo's Honey (super nice guy!) and ended up buying some cinnamon honey whip (yumm!), I could eat this stuff straight from the spoon!! As far as breads go we picked up some yummy smelling (and tasting!) Rosemary potato baguette from Tater Dave's and a beautiful cheese & basil baguette that we will be eating with our fresh John's Secret Marinara from Yohman's Garden (she was sampling this out and that sold us on it, sooo good :) We ended our day with a stop at the always pleasing Boka Truck. Hubby got a pork belly taco while I stuck with a Classic Asian taco. We were pleased as always with our food truck fare. Thus completing our first outing at the SOJ Winter Market. We will definitely be coming back, especially in the warmer months!

Reyes Farm has amazing local vegetables at really reasonable prices. The peppers at Village Garden are far superior to anything you can get in the grocery store. One of the standouts for me is Alfredo's Honey. He has the coolest selection of jars and delicious honey varieties, all from his own bees of course. Also, the Vietnamese coffee at Limeades and More is to die for! It's so rich and creamy, and particularly lovely iced on a hot day. Overall it's a great little market. It's definitely on the smaller side, but it makes up for it in the variety and quality of its vendors. They switch up the vendors a bit week to week, so make sure to check the market weekly vendor map on their website if you're going for one vendor in particular. The only downside is that there's hardly any shade and you're walking on asphalt, so it gets really hot during the summer. Finding free parking is very easy. There are a couple empty lots right nearby plus parking on the street.

I did some research about this place, before coming to there…read more Its previous owner, Patrick, left some reviews about himself, for himself (5*) of course but almost all of the other's reviews were "not impressed" with that place. Reasonable. There were not enough vendors or even buyers visiting it. A new owner, Patrick's son, is collecting $150 security deposit from vendors. He is charging vendors if there is a rainy day and they did not come. He stated that only lighting could be excuse and prevent vendors to come. Was it human? Of course not. I was inquisitive. I visited that place, took some photos and noticed that place is not suitable for that kind of business, with some really unethical management. Here is just one photo of it, because it does not worth attention or time.

I really loved the chicken salad and enjoyed the Israeli cous cous salad. They also have a lot of seating near the front if you want to eat one of their premade meals there. This is an upscale grocery store, so do know that the prices are quite high. However, you are getting quality and a lot of local products which is really nice. I normally come for their natural and organic wines. They have a nice under $15 section. Their Ellwood Thompson labels by the wines are also super helpful for me. I tried an orange wine I normally wouldn't have because one of their notes. This is my go to quick stop for wines.

I think because there is a small amount of booths, something about it feels even more like a community. The booths can change throughout the weeks, but some of my top visited ones are Oro Pasta, Agriberry Farm, and Amy's Garden. Live music is played by Bobby Joe Small. He is so friendly and kind! He'll bring a bunch of small instruments and leave them on the ground around him for children to play along. There is a good mix of food options here. I usually am able to do a majority of my grocery shopping for the week at this market. I really love Birdhouse Farmers Market and can't rave enough about it.

Not only are they open during the week, they're open afternoon instead of morning. I know right?! How unusual! I found this smallish market because I was taking the back streets, avoiding some gnarly traffic. It's tucked away behind Byrd house, hidden from everything. In its little grassy lawn, right off the Byrd House garden it's a lot like a little oasis. Parking isn't easy, since it's Oregon Hill near VCU. They say that there's a parking lot open but perhaps I'm blind, I've never noticed it. Nice veggies, friendly people, some artists and performers make for a nice atmosphere. Every week they raffle off a box of CSA veggies for the next week. I've never entered but you gotta admit, it's better odds than the lottery! Great place and great if you couldn't bring yourself to get up early enough for the market on the weekend!
