Pies, smoothies, trifles, ice cream. Yum!! We purchased a bushel of apples on our last visit, which we cored/peeled/sliced using an inexpensive gadget from Target or Ace Hardware(?). Froze on cookie sheets then transferred to gallon bags. We bought some that were a bit soft for pie--maybe because we froze them?--but are great dehydrated (for us & our dogs!) or made into apple butter. (Pies? Ask for the firmest apple.)

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

They do pick your own apples, plus have cider, apples, and a few other things for sale. Cash only. Their apples had some sort of problem this year...

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.

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.

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.

We were looking for a bakery to order from for a small wedding. We found Walker Bakeshop nearby and…read moredecided to give it a try. All of our communications with the owners have been stellar. We stopped in to try a few items and were blown away by taste and texture of everything. My partner even hates carrot cake, but I forced him to try it since it was so good and even he loved it!--the cream cheese frosting was unbelievable! We are so excited to have them at our wedding. As avid cookers and bakers at home, it takes a lot to impress us, and this bakeshop certainly did. And to address the 1 start review I see from someone, most bakeries have been around the $8-$15 price range for fresh loaves of bread for some time now. Considering this is still within the "DC" area I'd say that's average pricing. No prices on the website? --a lot of places don't list prices because they fluctuate too much. As a family run business, they seem focused more on the quality of their products rather than updating their website every week. 1 start seems completely inappropriate... how was the food though, reviewer?

You can see everything is homemade with quality ingredients and this translates to some of the best pastries I've had! Bacon and cheddar scone ($6.25) - real chunks of bacon (not just bacon bits) and delicious cheddar cheese infused into this biscuit/scone. It's a bit flakey while also having a soft + fluffy interior. flavorwise, the bacon, cheese, and butter-y scone blends so nicely together. Burbon pecan scone ($5) - delicious scone base mixed with some currants and big chunks of pecans topped with a burbon glaze. What's not to love? Soft, buttery, flakey, and not too sweet. And the burbon glaze adds a hearty and deep flavor that complements the pecan/scone nicely. I would come back for this!! Whiskey and rye cookie ($4.25) - 80% chocolate chunks mixed with a rustic cookie base. You can really taste the whiskey in the cookie dough. It's a fun cookie! Personally, I wish there was more cookie than chocolate.

Anyway, we strolled up and down Davis Street weighing all our options. We went in this Market twice and decided it indeed was the place for us and only if we could sit in the Alley! Well, we did...what a charming place to eat. Made us feel like we were back in Europe. I already knew what my hubby was going to order when we walked in and saw the the Saturday special was freshly carved suckling pig! It is served by the pound. He ordered 1/2 lb with a side of mashed potatoes and a cucumber salad. And he had a wonderful Malbec for $5 because it was happy hour! All came to about $18! He loved it !! I ordered the puff pastry with chicken chipotle and bacon and a smoked gouda cheese sauce on top! It was accompanied by a side salad with mixed greens and a light champagne vinaigrette. It was wonderful! It was a wonderful meal and we will be back for sure.
