Who doesn't like a little roadside produce stand? I try to support local markets like this…read morewhenever I can. This market was set up off Patterson Avenue, a pretty busy road. I pulled over to get some Hanover tomatoes as the colorful advertising signs lured me in! I bought a few things, the tomatoes, some cukes, a few apples. Here's where I take my "stand"! I hesitate to say anything negative about local folks, after all, they are just trying to make a buck, but I was not impressed with the produce here. The strawberries were Driscoll's, the same as at any grocer and they were past their prime. The raspberries were fuzzy and the broccoli was not fresh at all! The prices were not even as good as the Food Lion down the street. But, I went ahead and purchased some fruit and veggies to support this stand. They don't take credit cards so I had to go to my car and hunt for change. The plants and garden décor they had for sale were high priced as well. The guy working there didn't know where the produce came from when I asked. I left and went to Food Lion and finished my produce shopping. Sadly, I wouldn't stop again, there are so many other nice farmer's market around that deserve and earn my business.

The bike sculpture is a hidden gem that was commissioned by Richmond artist John Meola, whose talent for repurposing salvage materials gave new life to what would have otherwise been scrap and so every angle that you look at reveals another bicycle frame wheel handlebar or gear so it's a fun place to stop with you're looking to get a photograph or you're a cyclist or just appreciate imaginative craftmanship. This is more than just a sculpture it's a symbol of sustainability creativity and Richmond's long-standing connection to cycling.

Admission is definitely on the expensive side--especially if you go on a Thursday like we did--since about 85% of the activities older kids want to enjoy weren't operating. The food stations were closed. (We scored a great rate on Groupon for tickets) We did get to enjoy the beautiful pumpkin patch and sunflower field, but my oldest was disappointed that the bounce house and corn cannon weren't available. Overall, it was a lovely first-time experience for my mom and youngest child, but my oldest and I left feeling a bit let down.

Don't be fooled by your GPS, you will drive an additional 3-5 minutes to get to the strawberry picking portion. We timed it so we would arrive right when it opened. It was easy to find a place to park. They give you cute red buckets to put your strawberries in (you get to keep the bucket). We spent about 30 minutes picking strawberries. The berries they have here are HUGE! There were also a lot to choose from when we went. You are charged by how heavy your basket is. I'd highly recommend checking this farm out. It's a great place to bring little ones too.
