I visited Lakeside Farmers Market on a Sunday when they were having their monthly Maker's Market…read more At the Maker's Market, there are vendors who sell various products, including jewelry, jams/jellies, clothing, and other goods. I didn't see many vendors selling actual produce or other things that you would expect to find at a typical farmer's market. I believe the actual farmer's market is held on Saturdays. I arrived at the market shortly after it opened so parking was a breeze in the attached lot. In addition to the different vendors, they had a food truck vendor set up and performances by a local artist. What brought me to the Lakeside Maker's Market was All Dis Puddin, a local small business that sells various types of pudding. Think banana pudding, but with different twists that don't all include bananas. I've been following this business on Instagram for a while, and when I saw that they were going to be at the market during my Richmond visit, it was my golden opportunity! I placed an order in advance to pick it up at the market. After getting my order, I walked around the market some more and checked out some of the other businesses that were set up there. I also came across Loquito Coquito, another business that I've been following on Instagram. I was able to snag their February special, strawberry coquito. As Yelpers, we make a point to support local businesses, and this was a great way to support small, local businesses.

Came up all the way from Chester for something and had time to stop by here for supplies to make a…read morebutternut squash curry I've been meaning to make for awhile now. Still pretty new to cooking this kind of food, so I knew I had lots of spices to add to my collection and sure enough this place had all the spices and pastes other places don't sell. Lots of selection and good Indian music playing helped my usual wound up personality relax a little and get lost in staring at the wide variety of things, many I'd never heard of. I took my time browsing and thankfully I wasn't bombarded by employees trying to help. Later on when I got home I just happened to notice 1 of the 11 items I purchased was past it's best by date. Got on here and apparently this I wasn't the first or second person to have this problem. The thing that gets me is there were tons of what appeared to be employees stocking vegetables, you would think at least one of them would be assigned to go out and keep an eye for past due dates on the shelves. Really wanted to like this place with a 5 star, the music and atmosphere were on point but I'm really disappointed I basically wasted $ on something that employees should have been checking themselves. So far away it's a little difficult for me to return. I'm a big fan of Desi next door, and I'm sure I'll be back in the future, but next time I go here I will definitely take it upon myself to keep an eye out for dates. No reason this should have happened when other people already left reviews like this.

Who doesn't like a little roadside produce stand? I try to support local markets like this…read morewhenever I can. This market was set up off Patterson Avenue, a pretty busy road. I pulled over to get some Hanover tomatoes as the colorful advertising signs lured me in! I bought a few things, the tomatoes, some cukes, a few apples. Here's where I take my "stand"! I hesitate to say anything negative about local folks, after all, they are just trying to make a buck, but I was not impressed with the produce here. The strawberries were Driscoll's, the same as at any grocer and they were past their prime. The raspberries were fuzzy and the broccoli was not fresh at all! The prices were not even as good as the Food Lion down the street. But, I went ahead and purchased some fruit and veggies to support this stand. They don't take credit cards so I had to go to my car and hunt for change. The plants and garden décor they had for sale were high priced as well. The guy working there didn't know where the produce came from when I asked. I left and went to Food Lion and finished my produce shopping. Sadly, I wouldn't stop again, there are so many other nice farmer's market around that deserve and earn my business.

Today's market was showing so much color everywhere you looked! Fresh produce, gorgeous flowers and yummy breakfast sandwiches! It was great just enjoying my breakfast on a park bench, surrounded by all of the beautiful azalea bushes that are in full bloom! My only complaint is that the park has a narrow road coming in, and when there is a beautiful weather day like this it takes about 30 minutes to get in and park. Definitely worth the visit if you have never been!

Cheryl's Produce & Flowers have been around for a long time. It is a very small Produce stand on…read moreRt. 33. 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.... :-)

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.

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.
