I was surprised at the variety of vendors - I was able to find what I wanted (tomatoes and honey) quickly, with plenty of time left for browsing. Several, maybe three, food trucks were on site - judging by the lines, they offered pretty tasty nibbles.

The event included food trucks and a variety of vendors. My friend and I grabbed some BBQ from S&J Catering and it was delicious. We also grabbed donuts from Klassic Donuts and Glazed & Infuzed as well, which were very tasty. As we walked through the different shops, I absolutely loved all the fresh local, produce that was available. One of the shops offered a variety of jarred items and sauces so I purchased Crab Salsa and Spicy Pickled Okra. Both were very good and I definitely need to go back and get more! I absolute love supporting local businesses and I will definitely be returning very soon! Everyone was very nice and I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

I haven't been to any type of market in ages, but this morning I felt like exploring. I moved to Virginia 3 1/2 years ago and I enjoy cooking in my kitchen. I've had several thoughts about going to the farmer markets in the areas and I made those thoughts come true on today. My first stop was here at this particular one. Upon entering, we were greeted by Anna or Annie. She was working behind the counter and welcomed us inside. She even told me where I could find something specific I was looking for. As she waited on customers to shop she stocked up on some things and aligned items on shelves. Super helpful! We walked around and collected several items before heading to the register. I told her we hadn't been to a farmers market in so many years and she told us to come back any time and that they would be happy to serve us. Made my entire day!!! The ambiance of the market felt family strong. I loved the atmosphere and the foods/products made readily available. I can't wait to return. Upon leaving we saw that there was a food truck on the premises serving ice cream and hotdogs. We had just came from eating and didn't get to check them out, but if it's there when we return we'll definitely check it out. If you're reading my review, please go by and check them out.

You can find cooked food, crafts, organic produce, fresh seafood, yerba mate beverages, dog meals, and a great deal of friendly people. It's located in the Vibe district, so even if you have no intention of making a purchase, it's a wonderful Saturday morning walk. Parking is plenty and it's so close to the sand that you can stroll to the beach. If asked my favorite part, I love getting sausage sticks as a walking snack and grabbing my favorite vegetable, shishito peppers.

To Whom It May Concern,…read more I am writing to formally bring to your attention an incident that occurred during my visit to your market on June 28, 2026. My husband and I enjoy supporting small, local markets and farms; especially those that remind us of home and our military roots, so it is extremely disappointing to share that our experience today left us feeling unwelcome and disrespected. While selecting ears of corn, I picked up several that were already opened and set aside. I examined them only to understand why they had been separated. From across the aisle, an employee called out, "Ma'am, you can't open our corn here." I responded politely that I understood. She then approached me and asked, "Did you open all of these?" Her tone was accusatory, and the question itself was inappropriate. I clarified that the ears were already open when I picked them up. Instead of accepting my explanation, she continued lecturing me--repeating the same point multiple times despite my acknowledgment. She also stated that your corn is "fresh, just picked," which was factually incorrect given that the ears I was holding were ice cold. "Fresh, just picked" corn would be warm to the touch, as though it went directly from farm to stand. I mentioned that the opened ears had earworm. She replied that "there is nothing wrong with corn that has a worm; you just cut it off," and continued repeating the same reprimand I had already acknowledged multiple times. Despite my calm responses, the employee continued pressing the issue to the point that my husband stepped in, saying, "Okay, that is enough." The employee then told us, "Maybe you should go to Walmart to buy your corn." This comment was inappropriate, unprofessional, and entirely unnecessary. At that point, we decided to purchase the four ears already in our bag, inform the cashier of our experience, and leave; spending only $5.00 versus our normal $60-$80 we spend each time we visit. Unfortunately, this interaction has led us to decide not to return to your market, which is genuinely disappointing. We value local businesses and the sense of community they provide, but the treatment we received did not reflect the welcoming environment we expected--or the positive experiences we have had over the past six years as regular customers. We drive from Yorktown specifically to buy your fruits and vegetables, but we will not drive to Sandbridge to be chastised and publicly ridiculed for something I did not do, and even if I had, I acknowledged your policy immediately upon being told. I am sharing this feedback in hopes that it will be used constructively. Customer service matters, and interactions like this can significantly impact how patrons perceive and support a business. I trust you will address this issue to ensure future customers are treated with respect and professionalism.

I've been coming to the Bay Oaks Park where the market is located for a long time with my kids, but…read morefirst time at their newish market in past couple years. I believe it was moved here from another location, but unsure. Parking is a bit tight, but they do have their own lot on the West side of the park. Other parking is off street, however be mindful to not block residential drives and walks. I really enjoyed the park layout of the market with its shady tree lined paths with vendors spread out nicely. If I had to guess it's on the smaller side to others markets in the 757. Likely around 35 vendors. I purchased a sourdough loaf from Top Knot and veggies from another. I browsed many others. The anchor seems to be Klassic Doughnut's with a tremendous following and rightfully so. The line was too long today with my late arrival to partake in a treat. Absolutely recommend checking them out. You can follow their social media handle on Instagram for vendor info.

Had to stroll in here waste some time cause I had another appointment but I love this farmers market. I started coming here a year ago and I see it is grown tremendously. There is the donut truck is always out here and there's always a line and I see now that they're joined by a coffee spot who had a line as well. I can't stand in line in heat, even though I would love to try their donuts. I think I'm gonna have to make an effort to get up and be there when they first open when the line may not be as long but other than that, they have amazing things at this farmers market and I love it so.

If you are looking for the best strawberry picking experience in Hampton Roads during a pandemic -…read morethis is it! Evan's Farms is legit -- a mom and pop operation with a small roadside stand. They sell all kinds of fresh produce as well as some meat and eggs. The strawberry fields are PACKED with berries -- beautiful and delicious. Plus, on both occasions we visited we were basically the only people there so it was easy to socially distance. This place doesn't have the bells and whistles of the larger farms with activities for kids and what not, but it's perfect if you're not looking for a crowded environment. Plus, it's reasonably priced. The strawberries are $2 per pound and a bucket holds about 5 pounds when completely full. They are CASH ONLY so do make sure you have some on hand when you go. I highly recommend Evan's Farms!

I've been looking forward to strawberry picking at Henley for my birthday for a few weeks now…read moreduring the pandemic and movement restrictions that are in place. They update their facebook page daily due to weather and strawberry conditions so it's easy to keep an eye out before you make the drive. It's buried deep in Pungo off a charming road and a beautiful leisurely drive through the countryside. We easily found it, pulled in, and weighed our baskets and were sent off to one of the fields to pick. They had 2-3 open at the time with several rows to choose from and plenty of parking. It was muddy, which I knew from their warning to wear the proper shoes and clothes, but we managed to find a few rows and found tons of available strawberries. I was worried about there not being enough for everyone but that was not a problem - we quickly picked about 7 pounds of beautifully ripe red berries and headed back to the main station to weigh them. We stood in a socially distanced line where I browsed their veggie plants (for making your own home garden) and their beautiful potted flowers. They have some friendly wildlife here as well you can interact with as the goats were happy to come to the fence and be seen. Great experience - I now have two jars of fresh strawberry jam and tons of frozen strawberries for smoothies! This may be a new tradition.
