We used to come to Martin's a lot more frequently back in 2022-2023, but we ended up stopping…read morealtogether after a couple of bad experiences with the folks that work there and a few other factors. The first bad interaction we had was when we picked up one of the green carts, to which one of the employees snatched it out of my hands and told me this cart is for the online pick up orders only. Mind you, I had used the green carts before - I preferred them because they could hold more items - and nobody ever told me different. The lady just told me to grab another cart that wasn't green and left as though she hadn't done anything wrong. When I went to complain about it at the desk, they said they couldn't do anything about it but that I was free to pick up another green cart if there was one available. The second bad experience was with a lady working the gas station. We had saved up a lot of points through our purchases to get some money off gas, so I figured well let's try to fill up both our cars with the discount. I didn't see a sign out saying we couldn't, so we lined it up until we hit our max (which I think is 35 gallons). The attendant came telling us we weren't allowed to do that but I asked where did it say we couldn't? If the max is 35 gallons, does it matter where those gallons go into? Nowhere on the Martin's Fuel Savings page does it say you can only fuel one car with those savings. I didn't feel like arguing about it - so we only filled up the one car. God forbid anybody tried to maximize their discounts. Another factor is that the produce at this Martin's has a very annoying habit of going bad very fast. We thought it was just us - but we'd have our fruits and vegetables start to rot 2-3 days after we purchased them here. For reference, we had produce at Walmart last a week or longer - but at Martin's - it's almost like it was always ready to go bad. We noticed this on multiple visits. There was maybe a handful of times that it didn't go bad right away - but we ended up just not getting our produce here before we just quit coming. Lastly, we had one or two bad interactions with some of the other shoppers here. I think some of the folks that shop here have this idea in their mind that only some people of a specific social class shop at Martin's and it's a little hilarious because we're in Culpeper of all places. This town is filled with hardworking men and women and so it's bizarre to see a place that has people think this way. This isn't a Martin's thing - but something we've observed only here. I truly don't think every Martin's shopper thinks this way - it's just sad to have encountered it. It's all to say that I just don't feel comfortable shopping here anymore. If nothing else, the produce has consistently shown to go bad faster than the produce at Walmart and it's cheaper at Walmart than it is over here. It's a shame.

Mixed feelings about this place. Prices don't seem to be listed on any of the items, so you will…read morehave to ask. The chocolates are reasonably priced for gourmet chocolates (~$1-3 each) and taste good, with something like three cases to choose from. Service was fast, but they forgot to package some of our chocolates. When we called about the issue, they did offer us a refund. On the other hand, the pricing of the pastries was astronomical. The one we bought (white rose) cost $18, when I've had a similar pastry in Arlington, VA that only cost $11. Taste-wise, it was fine. They also offer gelato and gift boxes, but we didn't buy any so I can't comment on them. The back of the shop is decently sized and has one or two tables for people to sit at, but the part of the shop that goes past the chocolate cases is very narrow. If somebody has a walker/wheelchair/stroller, or a group in front of you forms a cluster, you probably won't be able to move past them.

I managed to pick up a bottle of the Dolin simply by walking in - they had some in stock. The Vya Red, however, needed to be special ordered. It took about a week to arrive - and they called me to advise it had arrived and was ready to pick up. Parking is always a bit of a challenge in Old Town Culpeper. I ended up parking in a lot behind the business - and walking through a connecting alley to Davis Street. Staff was helpful. Paid with Apple Pay! #Vinosity

There's not a lot in the store, but obviously the focus is the ham. They have some premade, wrapped ham biscuits. We got a couple to go. I was pleasantly surprised. I've heard about how the country ham can be overly salty. This was a nice, little sandwich. They slice the ham at a good thickness where it's got a bite, but isn't chewy. It's also salty without being too overwhelming. The three stars are just that I'd like to explore some more of their options. A ham bone for soup or beans is definitely in my future.

There's also a huge aisle of candy and sweets. Plus an ice cream bar at the other end of the store.

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.

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.
