I always loved to go to Charlottesville City Market when I lived in Charlottesville, and come back…read moreall the way from D.C. every once in a while specifically for a few businesses. One that I want to highlight and isn't on Yelp by itself unfortunately is Sweet Jane's Kitchen Maryland Style Crab Cakes. They don't have a brick and mortar but she is always there every Saturday the Market is open from 9am-1pm. Since moving from FL I have never had a single good crab cake in all of VA...UNTIL I tried Jane's crab cakes. They are all of what a good crab cake has to offer: A large thick patty mostly consisting of super fresh crab and garnished with delicious spices and only small amount of filler. Their homemade sauce is perfectly zesty and pairs well with the crab cake and bun; I always get extra. To top it off the owner is always very kind and runs it with her family. Other than this one there is a flower shop that carries my favorite celosia flowers and my favorite caromont farm goat cheese. They have a wonderful variety of other unique shops and delicious food vendors to try. I highly recommend Jane's crabcakes and the Charlottesville City Market in general, so much that I am willing to travel almost 2 hours to get there. Honestly the best green market I've been to in VA.

Love this Saturday market and always try to come by when I'm in town. There are a ton of vendors…read moreselling all sorts of items from crafts to produce.

I'm a big fan of buying local honey and they have a wide variety of flavors from different farms around Virginia! The restaurant part of the business is phenomenal too! The food is fresh, mostly made to order, and tastes amazing, definitely give the tallow fries a try!! They have a wide variety of seating areas where you can enjoy your food, in the farmer's market area at a picnic table, or outside at a cute little coffee table, or in the greenhouse surrounded by lush plant life (my personal favorite). The staff is friendly, they wont bother you while you browse, but they are happy to answer any questions. Overall, I think this is a FANTASTIC community place (which we don't have many of these days), perfect for a fun road trip break, a quiet lunch, or a relaxing place away from school for college students nearby!

This review is for picking your own strawberries…read more *No reservations needed, even during COVID times, which was a relief especially since I hadn't planned this activity. I had just driven by the farm with their giant "pick your own strawberries" sign, and decided to do this in between wine/beer tastings along Nelson 151. *Pick your own strawberries for $3.49 a pound. Apparently you can bring your own container for picking, but they do provide white buckets. *I picked strawberries from Patch #1 which faces the road, but there's more patches in the back, which I wish I'd checked out, because I suspect a lot of people go to Patch #1. So I'd encourage you to be aware of Patches #2-6. *There are portapotties and an outdoor sink set up with soap and paper towels. *They have a small market with some McCutcheon products, strawberries for sale, asparagus, and ice cream in pints. I had a cup of their delicious strawberry ice cream afterward. There are picnic tables scattered under tents where you can enjoy your ice cream (much appreciated shade after strawberry picking under the hot sun).

Easy parking, nice variety, friendly folks. Special shout out for Grain Story Bakery's cake,…read moreshortbread, and pretzels made from locally grown and ground flour.

They are obviously doing something right, as Bahrat told me that they often sell twelve gallons on a Saturday. His wife Shashma prepares a lovely Poha. I watched her carefully squeezing lemon juice over the "potato rice" with seasoned peanuts, tomatoes, cilantro, coconut and pomegranate seeds. As I dug into it I even found itty bitty mildly hot peppers, and what I think were tiny tender lime leaves. On a quick glance this appears to be simple Indian street food which it is, but once you sit down and savor the complexity of flavors you realize that no, it is perfect Indian food brimming with authenticity.

And this first visit happened to coincide with my first time in Harrisonburg. The morning was cool, but not yet cold and the sun was unbridled by clouds. I could hear the sounds of people and caught the aroma of baked bread before I saw the rows of tables and tents. As fate would so favor me yet again, my first stop was a dog-centric vendor. Homemade treats, bandanas, and outfits. But that day I left with a JMU poop bag holder (have to represent for the family). Vendors ranged from bread to pastries to canned goods to locally grown apples (you know I got a couple of bags of those). At every table I found a friendly face at the helm. They were having a great time being there and so was I. Before it was all said and done I had so much stuff it required me returning to the hotel room and offloading before continuing the morning. I will also mention there was live music and some face painting occurring that day. Just a fun, relaxing, and perfect way to begin your Saturday. *During certain times of the year they have a Tuesday evening market in addition to the Saturday market.
