    Hanover (local) green peppers
    Lisa C.

    I will lead with I am a huge fan of Pole Green Produce. I get a little sad when they close for the season, but I would hardly call it a local stand. Yes, they have a lot of local (Virginia) products but they also sell a host of products branded the same as what you find at a better price in the local grocery store. I say this not as a criticism but to provide an accurate description of the products. I understand that it is impractical to run an operation this size selling only local products: growing seasons are simply too short in Virginia. Pole Green Produce sells both VA and SC peaches. The SC peaches I bought last week we're cold from refrigeration but sitting out in 90-degree temperatures. As a result, they were only good for about a day. I bought them knowing this and prepared to use or freeze them ASAP. It is important to note that Pole Green Produce clearly labels the origins of their products. On the other hand , I think their labeling of their payment policy is deceptive. There is a large-print sign at each register stating that they offer a 3.5% cash discount but when you read the longer, smaller font explanation says that they add a surcharge. These are two very different policies resulting in a seemingly deceptive practice.

    So many beautiful pumpkins
    May-May R.

    We were driving by and noticed all the pumpkins in front and stopped in...I'm so glad we did! At the moment, Pole Green Produce has so many pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, mums, apples and other local produce. The prices for the pumpkins and mums are so much cheaper than Lowe's or the big box stores. We were only there for a few minutes but I will absolutely be back to pick up some local produce (eggs, fall vegetables, honey) soon!

    I went here for the first time the other day and it was SO fun!!! They have tons of fresh fruits and veggies, and lots of different jams, jellies, and honeys! They were really nice at checkout, and we didn't spend a ton of money, but got a lot of nice produce. Definitely going back when I can! I only got two pictures, but the eggplants were such a vibrant purple I couldn't resist lol.

    So many beautiful plants to choose from!!

    I love supporting local small businesses. Pole Green Produce is a charming little road side produce stand with lush plants and farm fresh veggies!! This place has fresh out the water oysters and crab meat along with homemade baked goods. The vibrant flowers, friendly staff, and hand written signage all come together to create the perfect storm of pleasant even in the midst of a global pandemic!

We arrived at about 2:30 PM on a sunny but not roasting Saturday afternoon. From the street, there appears to be a lot of items for sale, but once you're inside the area, you can see that most of the booths are vacant. I'm new to the area so I don't know what used to go on pre-2010 (when more positive reviews existed on Yelp), but the overall market was a bit underwhelming. That's not to say that a few of the vendors didn't have some nice looking produce and items. There was one stand that had a myriad of produce available including tomatoes, peaches, figs, peppers, and other fresh looking items. The prices seemed fair too, and if we were in a produce-y mode, I'd have purchased some. There was also a few homemade craft and jewelry stands that had some nice looking items, although I didn't see the prices. Some of the stands weren't quite as impressive. There was a stand that had a few different peppers in small quantities and one that had about 20 kid's books. I think it's neat that there are a range of items, but I'm not sure how many people are going to think to check a Farmer's Market for kid's books. Overall: If I were in the area again I'd check to see what items existed, but I just wasn't blown away. It seemed like a perfect day to be out selling things, yet the majority of the area was vacant. I can't compare it to other Farmer's Markets in the area since I have yet to experience any, but my opinion on 17th Street's so far is "A-OK".

    Ashland Farmers Market:…read morewww.facebook.com/AshlandFarmersMarket My husband and I have been going to the Ashland Farmers Market for 8-10 years. It is located behind the Ashland Municipal Building, west of the train tracks. When we started going to this market, it was the only one in the Richmond area, other than the one in Shockoe Bottom. It's open on Saturday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to noon, although, many people are there at 8:30. In the winter, they have a "renegade market" that is open on the first and third Saturday's of the month. It's a small market, compared to South of the James Market, but everything at the Ashland Market is grown or produced locally. There is a good variety, the vendors are very friendly, everything is fresh, the quality is quite good, the prices are very reasonable, and there is plenty of accessible parking. The market is located behind the parking lot, and it is not over-crowded. Since we have been going for so many years, we've gotten to know the vendors well, and what they will be having at different times of the year. It's like one big family there. Things one might find there are: a good variety of seasonal fresh produce and fruit, hydroponic lettuces/greens, micro greens, herbs, a variety of baked goods (breads, sweets, granola, etc.), eggs, pastured/grass-fed meats (such as chicken, pork, beef, lamb, variety of sausages, bacon), fresh cut flowers, plants, jams, jellies, honey.. Occasionally there will be a food truck there, and there is usually live music each week. Because it's not a massive market, it's comfortable walking from vendor to vendor, socializing, and enjoying the day in the small town of Ashland, VA. See their Facebook page for information, photographs, etc.: www.facebook.com/AshlandFarmersMarket

I think because there is a small amount of booths, something about it feels even more like a community.

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.

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!
