I used to come to this farmer's market almost every Saturday until this season, when they stopped…read moreallowing dogs without officially announcing it. We went on the first opening day this season and were turned away - which was disappointing because we spend a considerable amount of money each time we go. We have since gone to other farmer's markets that are dog-friendly, such as Manassas Park Farmer's Market and Mosaic District Farmer's Market during the weekends. The Thursday market in Old Town Manassas is okay for produce and some snacks - but also not dog-friendly. Note that there's no law about not allowing dogs to open-air markets. If the point of this rule is to alienate dog owners who have money to spend, then you have become successful.

I don't think there's anywhere more beautiful than Burnside Farms!!…read more I visited on August 1st (aka National Sunflower Day) of the 2026 season! I was in awe of how incredibly massive and expansive the fields were. I've never seen anything this large & beautiful. The farm did a fabulous job of ensuring their instructions were clear on their website, during ticketing purchasing & at the farms. I cannot recommend this place enough! I'm already planning my next visit during their tulip season!

We came out for the annual tulip festival and had such a fantastic time. We tried visiting last…read moreyear, but an unexpected heat wave ended up killing all of the tulips on site. There is so much more than just tulip picking. My kids had such a blast enjoying the tulip-themed playground on site and the food trucks. There is also drink stands set up including non-alcoholic beverages along with beer and a cocktail tent. The service is efficient. They've clearly done this before and it's mostly staffed by friendly high school students. We were allowed to pick 5 tulips each, so for the four of us, we had 20 tulips. Upon leaving, staff will wrap up the tulips to ensure you picked the right amount. You can pick more but pay per stem. The young woman who helped wrap our flowers was very kind to our kids. She even helped them count all the flowers and papers, which was very sweet. It was a really fun day out. It sells out quickly, so advanced tickets are necessary.

There are places you go because you need something, and there are places you go because life is…read morejust better when you do. Messick's falls into that second category. You start out thinking it's just a farm market but inside, the place has all the usual farm market suspects--fresh produce, baked goods, meats--but then you notice the food counter. That's where things go sideways in the best possible way. The sandwiches are flat-out good, not "good for a farm store," but actually good. And the breakfast burritos are not normal human-sized food. They're the kind of burritos that make you reconsider your life choices halfway through eating one, in a positive way. Outside is where Messick's really shows off. Kids running everywhere, farm people doing what farm people do, and enough seasonal activities to keep families occupied until everyone forgets what time it is. It's the kind of place where parents sit down "for just a minute" and then suddenly it's an hour later and nobody is in a hurry to leave. If you're rolling in with a camper, it also works as a Harvest Hosts stop, which is a polite way of saying you can legally fall asleep there without anyone bothering you. Parking is easy in a grass-and-gravel area that's simple to level into, and once the day crowd clears out it gets quiet in that good country way. Verizon signal holds up well too, which is either a blessing or a curse depending on how hard you were trying to escape emails. What makes Messick's dangerous is that it's not trying to be anything other than what it is--but it ends up being more anyway. You go for a quick stop and leave feeling like you accidentally spent the afternoon at somebody's family reunion, except nobody made you help clean up afterward. In a world full of overcomplicated stops and underwhelming food, Messick's is refreshingly simple: good food, good people, and just enough chaos to make it interesting.

We've made the trip to Messick's on a few special occasions but never again will we return. My…read moredisabled mother made it about 3' into the store with her service dog when the "market dog" appeared and wouldn't leave us alone. An older man in a t-shirt talking on the phone waved us on saying it was ok. The second time the dog approached us, I asked the man if he would leash the dog. He said, "No I will not". So, we left. It is unfortunate he chose to disregard our safety and comfort, and ruin this special outing. We are clearly "dog people" but were intimidated by this dog and especially the man. It was a stunning experience.

It's very walkable, the vendors are friendly, and there's a great overall vibe. The pie vendor has amazing bean pies (a must-try), the kettle corn is hands down my favorite and the only place I'll get it from, and the coffee is decent too. It's such a perfect Sunday morning activity. I'm especially excited for the produce to start coming back--this is easily one of the best places to get fresh fruits and veggies!

I'd say probably about 80% of the vendors are staples and there's about 20% new or seasonal vendors. Some of my favorites include the pretzel stand, fruit and tomato stand ($20 per bucket!), the paleta hand trucks and the one or two bakeries. I love supporting local. Plus, all the vendors above are super friendly and I love interacting with them on a weekly basis. As for prepared food (besides the pretzels), I'll be honest, I think most are pretty overpriced and I don't think anything stands out. We've tried a few food trucks and stands but it's been kind of disappointing every time. I'm waiting to be pleasantly surprised. I think the empanada stand is probably the best prepared food I've tried but I get it only once in a while (the line can be super long). The vibes are great. I think URBN Market has organized a fantastic weekly market at Mosaic and I love the seasonal event weekends too. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

Definitely ask for a sample and the staff is always so nice! Greenheart is also at the Mosaic District, Bethesda, and other DMV markets. Savagely Good Pies - The creamy Spinach and Cheese quiche and the Asparagus and Melted Leek quiche are hearty and delicious! Don't forget about dessert - the Apple Pie is divine! The pies are often sold out - so highly recommend pre-ordering. Los Sabrositos - The wood-fired Breakfast pizza with red peppers, onions, scrambled egg, bacon, and Mexican cheese is scrumptious and filling! While the crepes are tasty, they don't keep as well and the pizza is my pick! The fresh Mango, Pineapple, and Strawberry and Banana smoothies are refreshing and delicious! Mama's Donut Bites - The soft bite-size cinnamon sugar donut holes are sooo goooood and easy to devour! The staff was really nice and gave us a dozen for the price of 6!
