Love photo opportunity

We stopped for the sign and to look for watermelon. We absolutely got more than we bargained for. There were candies from our childhood, fresh fruits and vegetables, skin care, a train, and the best sandwiches ever. We were rained on long enough to do damage abs see everything. My friend bought olives and mushrooms. I bought dehydrated pineapple and bananas. Everyone was friendly and helpful. There was also a very clean bathroom.

Been quite a long time since I visited Messick's Farm Market. I stopped in for breakfast this morning - I ordered a Breakfast Burrito with both bacon and sausage, a side of hash browns, and a bottle of water. The food is made to order - so it takes a few minutes - this is not a fast food restaurant - so please be patient. Once my order came up, I took it out outside out back - there are a number of tables outside to eat at. The Breakfast Burrito was huge - and tasty! But, it was poorly rolled. When I unwrapped the wrapper - the Burrito was barely "sealed." I had to wrestle with it a bit to re-wrap it so I could eat it. Here is the unpleasant part of the meal - the hash browns were hot and crispy - but they smelled strongly of - and tasted like - fried oysters. Now I love fried oysters - but I sure don't want my breakfast hash browns smelling and tasting like fried oysters. On Fridays - they have a number of fried oyster offerings - I am certain they are using the same fryer for both oysters and potatoes. I've worked in the restaurant industry in the past - and this is a no-no. The places I worked had multiple fryers - specifically so that certain foods did not impart or imbue their flavor into other foods. I ended up throwing out most of the hash browns - I just could not eat them. I hope Messick's Farm Market pays attention to their Yelp reviews and takes steps to remediate this issue. If I were updating this review - based solely on the hash browns - it would have descended to a one star review. But the awesomeness of their breakfast burrito saved them. #MessicksFarmMarket

Chocolate peanut butter cup milkshake with crushed Reese's candy bar. OMG.

If you haven't had a Messicks milkshake, you need to go get one right now! They are better than Frosty Moose, swirly's , and Nathan dairy bar, and Campbells. There homemade baked bread triple berry is wonderful. I also love their chocolate mint Whoopie pies.

Stopped by here after a long day of hiking in Shenandoah as my partner, my dog, and I needed a pit stop to refuel. When we arrived there were food trucks out in the back, but they were wrapping up for the day. No worries. We also saw that they had a ticketed entry for a kid's fall amusement which included a bounce contraption. Having no kids ourselves, we enjoyed watching the families with kids enjoy themselves from afar. I went inside the market and was super impressed at all that was enclosed. It looks much bigger on the inside than the exterior!! They have everything you'd expect to see inside a farm market, and perhaps even more: farm fresh dairy items, meats, deli items, cheeses, freshly made soups and sandwiches, fresh unshucked oysters, baked goods, candies, coffee beans, unique gifts, and around the back a homemade custard spot. I also was pleasantly surprised that they allowed dogs inside the market so that my partner and dog were able to come inside with me. It was a nice experience, so much so I almost felt like I was in Dutch County, PA. However, the service was extremely slow when we ordered chili from the inside kitchen. Took 20+ minutes to get them to pour us a bowl of soup to go, until my partner flagged them down. At least they apologized and owned up to the mistake. The chili itself was EVERYTHING we needed after just eating apples and meat sticks on our hike. It was hearty, flavorful, and really warmed the soul...it hit the spot! As far as the frozen custard, the texture definitely tasted homemade. I just didn't like that the pumpkin custard had too little pumpkin to it, so it was a bit disappointing. I also made the mistake of adding cookie dough bites on top of it which was overall yummy on its own, but awkward with the "pumpkin" custard Next time I go, I'll make sure to stick to vanilla and topping it with cookie dough bites and potentially oreo bits - that sounds like it'd be a 10/10. Overall, we had a good experience outside the orders taking too long and my strange order of custard. We'll definitely come back!

This pick your own farm is popular with families and young kids. The store is full of produce, wine, and other locally produced food products. They have a nice frozen custard shop. Outside next to the store is a playground of sorts with things for kids to climb on and space for them to run around. Strawberries are the main draw here!

We came here for strawberry picking. It is a nice place for family who has small kids. There is a huge playground. It was my first time to do Strawberry picking. Our kids definitely enjoyed it. However most good ones are gone. I appreciate that this place is super low key about everything and reservations are not necessarily. They have a small shop sells local produced fruit vegetables and dairy product. They have an ice cream shop which is reasonably priced. I highly recommend this.

So happy we found this place today! It was not super crowded and a lot of fun for my 3year old. She did so many things and kept saying how happy she was. The store had quality items and the food was good. Clean bathrooms available. Many activities!

OMG, their custard/ice cream stand is the best we've ever had. You could make any flavor a milkshake and customize it with your choice of toppings. Inside their homemade pies are to die for, and their selection of fresh produce is quite delicious also.

I went here for strawberry picking a few months back and it was a lovely experience. It was one of the few activities that could be safely done during the pandemic. I really liked how Messicks farm noted social distancing rules and tried to keep everyone safe. Strawberry picking wasn't too intuitive. You go into the general store to get a bucket. You then pick all you want and come back to weigh the bucket and pay. You have the option of purchasing their bucket too. The superstar was their food! They had amazing, hot items in their general store, like fried chicken livers. (I like that stuff). They also had a variety of local-ish items. We got lucky and there was also a fantastic BBQ truck in the back parking lot. Probably the best BBQ I've had in VA! I will definitely be back for other Farming adventures.

Meh! Way overpriced and not worth stopping for, unless you just want to get the frozen custard.

Let the Market get bigger! It takes all of 5 minutes to see…read moreall the vendors. Having recently been to the farmers market in Stanton, I come back to Warrenton and am baffled by the repetition and lack of activity at the Warrenton Market. Maybe it is that there is no place to have one, but I am sure there must be somewhere bigger for the market to grow. How about a park or something? Shoot, I have a pasture they can set up in. So, maybe I am a little biased. I tired to get a spot to sell eggs and poultry and was told that they did not have any room for new vendors That they have a limit to number of booths. Competition is what makes the world work. Let a few more soap/bakedgood/mushroom/spice/livestock vendors, whatever, join in. Let it grow. Let some people making things in, that is what a free economy is all about. And what better place to showcase everything that your county/city/burg can do. Just my 2 cents.

Warrenton has two farmer's markets, this one (Saturday mornings from 7 am to noon) and another one…read moreduring the week (different location, sorry I don't know the specifics). The Saturday farmer's market is at Lee & 5th Streets in Old Town and is a nice place to stop and do your week's worth of veggie shopping. It's a small farmer's market, but there is always a selection of seasonal, locally grown fruits and veggies. In the spring you'll find plant farms offering veggie and flower seedlings, and nurseries are sometimes there with annuals and perennials for sale. There's generally vendors with fresh baked goods as well, and sometimes crafters. I usually hit this market on Saturday mornings and the Green Barn market in The Plains on Sundays.
