New Day Farms is a farm located out in Bealeton, VA. The history of the greens come from Dr. Ann…read moreWigmore, who used baby greens to cure herself of a disease; U of MD researched that baby soil-grown baby plants contain 4-6 times more vitamins and antioxidants than mature plants; later on, Mr. Ed Huling and his team then spent years in building a mineral-rich, organic soil for these greens. The farm offers packaged sunflower, sunflower radish, opal basil, and other sprouted 'microgreens.' You can use these to make a 'superfood' salad with veggies/fruits and dressing of your choice, and it's so fresh and lovely! They are organic, too! Check them out! :D +sunflower greens :D

*this is for their product ONLY - I have not been to the actual farm*…read more I frequent the Whole Foods in Old Town Alexandria and came across this little gem while they had a sample table out. The lady had the microgreens mixed with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. The taste was phenomenal. I have since bought all of the different versions and purchase them whenever I go to WF. The microgreens even taste good all by themselves. I have found myself noshing on them while putting away groceries. They are truly wonderful. Hard to believe they are so darn good for you. Only bad thing is the cost, but you do get what you pay for nowadays. Thank you , New Day Farms, for making such a wonderful product.

Stopped in a Corner Fruits & Crafts recently. I've driven past them a zillion times over the years…read moreand never stopped. I picked out a container of local honey, plus jars of Red Raspberry and Blueberry preserves. The preserves were pretty basic - but tasty. Paid with Apple Pay. Their terminal connects to the internet via an old-school dial up connection - so it took a tiny bit longer to process the transaction. But hey - that's how things roll when you are in an area with no broadband internet and pretty spotty cell reception. #CornerFruitsAndCrafts

It's not a full service grocery but is exceptional for local produce (and plants etc...). Wonderful people, great local produce - or early season stuff they drive to get. And some quirky gifts and things. It's all seasonal but the veggies are always great quality and a good variety. Very reasonable prices. If you want to shop local this is the place. They also have an episodic email newsletter you get sign up for - good way to get a heads up if you are into seasonal items.

The Culpeper Farmers Market, open Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 12 noon from the end of April to…read moremid-November, is a friendly & delightful place to stop by & do some local shopping. It's rare that I ever skip a Saturday morning there. In fact, this morning had me lugging home bags of baby Rainbow Swiss Chard, baby Tatsoi greens, & a type of baby Asian lettuce; some lovely apples; heirloom tomatoes; green beans; baby white potatoes; mixed colors of bell peppers - I'm sure I've left something out, but you get the picture. There's a fairly wide diversity of products available - while the majority of vendors are selling fruit & vegetables (some certified organic), there are also several local honey vendors, a smattering of fresh local meat producers (beef, pork, poultry, lamb - even goat sometimes!), eggs, both cut & potted flowers, baked goods, preserves, herbs/spices, a few arts/crafts, & even a local mushroom grower. During the spring months, there are plenty of garden plants & heirloom vegetable seedlings for sale, & during the summer, there are even a few cooked food vendors now & then, serving anything from grilled items to Indian fare. If there's one gripe I have, it's that I find it doubtful that all of the vendors are actually selling what I'd consider "local" produce; I'd swear that a few vendors - & it's fairly easy to spot which ones - are bringing in produce from Lord knows where. But I know which vendors are, in fact, local & honest (they're easy to spot), so make a point to purchase from them exclusively. Bottom line - very nice spot to while away a Saturday morning & pick up some healthy locally-grown produce for the following week's meals.

We were there really early (7am), so there's a chance that my experience wasn't representative, but…read morethere were only a few stands. We saw some fresh produce and a local butchered meat stall but that was it. I thought there'd be a little more vendors there with a few more options. I'll try going by another day and update accordingly. For now, I was not impressed.

I appreciate this German food chain. Aldi is a grocery store that gives you savings instead of…read more"frills." You won't see spacious shelves, food demonstrations or tons of employees in the grocery aisle. I like the food selections. The produce items are usually high quality and cheaper than most other stores. I have gotten a bunch of bananas for as low as .24. That price varies but it always cheaper than Safeway, Giant, Harris Teeter, Whole Foods and Shopper's. Crackers are normally cheaper at Aldi too. Merci chocolate packages range from $6.99 to .$9.99 at other stores. I just bought several for thank you gifts and paid $4.99 a piece. The owners have an innovative way of never having to collect their own shopping carts. You have to have a quarter to "deposit" into the cart to unlock it from the other carts. Your quarter is returned to you as soon as you replace the cart. If you don't have change, the cashiers are happy to give you change for any bills. Bring grocery bags. If you forget them Aldi has a wonderful giant reusable bag that you can purchase. I am not a fan of their plastic bags. They don't last long if you have heavy items. You won't find many brand name items but the products are produced in the same warehouses as the brand name items and are just as good. This location isn't near my house but I enjoy stopping by when I am in the area. The employees are nice. The bathrooms are clean.
