Every time I'm back in VA on a Saturday I make sure to stop by the Reston Farmer's Market. They've…read moregot some of the best produce in the area. The apples and pears are especially fantastic so I recommend trying and buying some since there are samples of most. If you go right around when it opens it's not too crazy but by 9am it's pretty crowded and I don't recommend parking in (or near) the lot itself. I'm addicted to carbs, so the real reason for my trip is always the bakeries that are tucked into the back of the market next to the lake itself. Nordic Knots has a "Pretzel Croissant" that's amazing. It's basically a really flakey, crisp croissant washed with lye and topped with pretzel salt to give it that real "pretzel" flavor. The pretzels themselves are fine, but the croissant is the pro move. They go quick with some aunties lining up 15 minutes before they open (which is always a bit late). My Cravingz is my true destination and it's basically the last stall in the marked (coming from the parking lot). The Turkish bakery has a cafe in Manassas but there are a few things you can only get here. The guy is always super friendly and is happy to explain the good to anyone unsure. My go-to breakfast is a cheese açma and coffee with a simit and nutella pogaça to go. The açma is one of the best pastries I've ever had. Flakey and buttery like a croissant but with a bit more chew and stuffed to the gills with high-quality feta. They'll warm it up for you on the spot, which I highly recommend if you're eating it there. If you're looking for a heavier breakfast of lunch the borek is great but a bit much for me that early.

I flew to DC for an end of life celebration, looking for something to take to share because grandma said you don't show up with just your hat in your hand. I was blown away at the number of produce vendors. We have a large market at the Pearl in San Antonio and lucky to see two or three produce vendors with limited selection. Parking is the most challenging aspect here. I didn't even try the surface lot as it looked packed. I was able to find street parking a few blocks away. This market must have had at least a dozen produce vendors. And the selection was incredible. The vegetables and tomatoes looked incredible. But I was flying back and could not enjoy them. I did buy some cherries and strawberries to share with the local family. They were so fresh and everyone enjoyed them.

Today is feb 28 and this was my first time here with a friend. I had a pleasant conversation with the organizer of the market and he admitted that the market has many more vendors including produce options come April. In the mean time, I remembered seeing for sale souvenirs from Peru, olive oil, sourdough bread, meats and more. Will have to return in April to get the full experience!

This market is a bit on the small side because we saw about six vendors during our visit. However, we stopped by while the vendors were setting up so maybe more vendors arrived once we left. The major vendors that I remember were those selling produce, mushrooms, and empanadas. I noticed the empanada stand because I was extremely hungry. Oh there was some live music courtesy of a singing duo. Since this a smaller farmers market, compared to the others that I have visited in part, you definitely can get in and out very quickly.

Their seafood department deserves special recognition. The fish is exceptionally fresh, and the employees are knowledgeable and happy to prepare it however you prefer. That level of customer service makes a huge difference. The international grocery selection is one of the best I've seen. They carry authentic products from many countries, including items that are nearly impossible to find elsewhere. If you enjoy cooking international cuisine, you'll probably leave with more than you planned to buy. Another thing that impressed me was how clean and organized the store is. Everything is neatly displayed, making shopping easy and enjoyable. The staff is approachable, patient, and always willing to answer questions or help you find what you need. I was also amazed by the flower section. I purchased gorgeous roses at a great price, and they looked fresher and more beautiful than flowers I've seen at many traditional grocery stores. The fruits and vegetables were equally impressive--beautiful, fresh, and in excellent condition. Fresh World has earned a loyal customer. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for outstanding quality, exceptional service, and one of the best international grocery shopping experiences in the area. Five stars without hesitation.
