tldr: small but sweet spot. a nice place to visit once, and a great produce stop if you're local. we only spent under an hour, so i wouldn't make a special drive, but i'd happily go back if i'm nearby. AMBIANCE it's a small farm but a nice one. the flower and plant section is huge, and the plants were cute and fairly priced. not expensive, not a steal, just normal. the pumpkin area is also bigger than it sounds because they have a LOT of pumpkins, and they had some really huge ones, which i've never seen at a pumpkin patch before and was honestly the most fun part. SERVICE everyone was very friendly. it's also nice to see they employ young adults, which feels good to support. FOOD the small store has fresh produce plus unique butters, sauces, condiments, apple cider, treats, ice cream, and donuts. they only sell donuts by the dozen, so we didn't get any, but we left with sauces and candy. if i lived in the area i'd come back mainly for the plants. read more

Nalls Produce - huge pumpkins! - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Dear reader, Nalls Produce on Beulah Street is especially delightful during the fall festivities. They have seemingly every pumpkin and gourd one could imagine, from the perfectly round classics to the wonderfully odd little varieties that look destined for a harvest-themed centrepiece. There is plenty to wander around and see, and everyone working there is consistently kind, helpful, and happy to point you in the right direction. Beyond the pumpkins, they have loads of fresh produce, prepared foods, snacks, and products from local companies. It genuinely feels like you could walk in with no dinner plan whatsoever and leave with everything needed to cook an entire meal. The animals are another charming part of the experience and make the visit feel like more than just a shopping trip. Between the seasonal displays, local goodies, produce, and friendly atmosphere, Nalls is a thoroughly lovely neighborhood stop and one of my favourite places to visit in autumn. read more

I was in need for some locally-sourced, honey, and Google referred me to Nalls Produce. Let me start off this review by saying I had a positive experience, and I found exactly what I was looking for (plus a little extra). When I arrived, the first two people I encountered provided positive customer service, including taking me to the location where the locally-sourced honey is situated in the store (not just pointing to the general area). I really appreciated that. The other thing I found helpful was that when a team member didn't have an answer to my question, they were willing to defer to a team member who had more knowledge about what I was looking for. This is where Veronica or Victoria (I'm not quite sure of her name, other than the fact that it begin with a V) comes into frame. She provided really good and useful information in addition to asking really good questions. She also seemed to be sympathetic to the fact that I was not feeling well and was looking for something to help in the healing process. We need more of this in the world. Care and concern for humankind seems to be lacking here lately. If you are looking for locally-sourced honey and you live or work in VA, don't hesitate to stop by Nalls Produce! Happy shopping! Oops! One more note ; I'm not too sure Nalls is located in Alexandria as it states when you visit the website. After completing a pretty long day at work in Arlington, I didn't think a drive out to Alexandria (after primary rush time), would be so bad. But, the drive was a little further than expected. Because I'm not a Virginia native, I could be incorrect in my thought process. But Nalls Produce is not located in Alexandria, it is located in Franconia. That's not even Alexandria County...it's actually Fairfax County. Either way, it was worth the drive because I was able to find what I was looking for. However, had I known the drive would take it as long as it did, I would've probably done it on an early Saturday morning and spent a little more time to explore all of the other interesting items I saw. By the way, it looks like they do a monthly newsletter that highlights some great information for the upcoming month. read more

I feel like a lot of people come to Nalls for pumpkins and produce, but I'm here all spring and summer for vegetable seedlings and gorgeous perennials. After several years of unsuccessfully trying to start my vegetable garden from seeds, I'm now a convert to Nalls' seedlings, and I especially love getting seedlings of lettuce and other greens here in the early spring. Last year I bought some watercress and mustard greens, which tickled my itch to try new-to-me traditional vegetables. If you're getting plants here, check out the Budding Gardeners Facebook group run by Nalls. You can get support and advice on your plants after you get them in the ground without going back to the store. I'll also add that every Nalls employee I've interacted with, including all the young seasonal employees, have been truly so nice. A+ hiring, right here. Nalls is also a great place to get some native plants, such as Virginia bluebells. However, they still stock some nasty invasives, such as vinca. I'm currently battling long-standing patches of vinca and English ivy in my yard and am surprised and sad that otherwise reliable nurseries still stock them. Get rid of those, and I'll happily give y'all 5 stars. read more

Want that local Market feel? Want to see fresh veggies, fruits, milk, candies, jars of fresh jams, local honey oh and fresh loaves of bread! And outside in the pens are piglets and a very nice adult piggy. Olivia I think is her name. There's fresh cut wood too. Endless items plus gardening tools and other yard/house plant stuff. It's family owned and locally run. Come support and join their social media pages!! read more

Great local spot that has a lot of local produce to sell to the public. During fall, they have some fall activities for kids and many adults come and take photos! There's a lot of pumpkins in various sizes for sale here read more

Love Nalls! Came here to grab some fall flowers and pumpkins and was really delighted at the variety, honest prices, and friendly & helpful staff. They really go above & beyond with their fall setup, which I'll add, is great for families as they have a play exhibit for kids and there are so many fun photo ops. They have all kinds of goodies for purchase in their store, e.g., cider donuts, jams, produce, gift items, etc. You can also get on their mailing list to get updates on events. I love that it's a local, family establishment that's been around for years. It has a nice suburban feel to it. read more

Beautiful, beautiful set up of flowers and pumpkins. This soon became one of my places I have visited in the area. However.... Produce is expensive and bad. I spent $20 on 6 peaches just to find out they were the tasteless and mushy. I was excited to eat fresh, farmers market produce. These were not that. They should not be selling these at $4/lb. They should not be selling them period. read more

Love, love, love their fall celebrations and this year they did not disappoint! Tons of pumpkins and mums galore for all! They also have local produce and local honey for those who use that to help combat allergies. I always go here for my corn and tomatoes as well when they are in season. Highly recommend stopping in and enjoy the festive atmosphere! read more

Love everything about this place. Pumpkins and flowers galore, and some of the most instagrammable spots in Alexandria! My favorite thing about Nall's though is the indoor farmers market. They have a great selection of fresh produce and locally made products including bread, cheese, jams, and fudge. Best time to visit is during October for their pumpkin festival. At the end of the month, they carve hundreds of pumpkins for an enormous Halloween display! read more

I'd never had a go-to garden center - especially one I'd try and go to weekly - until Nalls Produce. Nalls has it all. Seasonal flowers, shrubs, and plants. Pumpkins in the fall and Christmas trees and wreaths in December. Local vendors coming throughout the week to sell their goods (such as Smiths of Mecklenburg selling sausage and other meats every Friday), and featuring locally grown produce, eggs, and dairy products. They truly focus on seasonal, local, and small business products as well as a great experience. They are humble and extremely helpful. The staff are out on the grounds or inside the store area wearing their Nalls' shirts (or hoodies in colder months), so feel free to ask them questions. They also have chickens and a cat that freely walk the area which is always a treat to see. Lastly, there are a couple of geese that live there and a wonderful teacup pig named Penny. She's got her own fan club and a book share! Nalls is truly a special gem and a 60+ year old institution in Alexandria/Springfield. read more

Pumpkin Hill COVID-19 Update: With so many things being (rightfully) cancelled this year, I was so happy to be able to take part in opening day of Nalls Annual Pumpkin Hill. This FREE (yes, you heard that) free event is something that I look forward to every year with my family and this year was no different. While the parking lot was full when we arrived, there was plenty of room to socially distance. Masks are required and my daughter and her friend had so much fun exploring the different tunnels, searching for pennies in hay, clucking at the chickens, gawking at the pig, and checking out all the different variety of pumpkins available. I felt very safe the whole time and so thankful for the Nalls family for allowing this tradition to continue. Of course we could not leave without picking up some goodies -- there was freshly baked bread, yellow ears of corn, apple cider, apple cider doughnuts (a must), kettle corn, and all of the pumpkins and gourds that my daughter could pull on her little push wagon. We had a blast and will definitely be coming back soon to support this wonderful, family owned business. read more

Nalls now has a chicken in a tiny cage in the outdoor potting section. When I first saw it in the summertime the employee said a customer gave the hen to them and she was a "diva". She is still in a cage scarcely big enough for her to turn around. What a miserable life. I can't support inhumane animal treatment. read more

They have a decent selection of produce, LOTS of jam, LOTS of jelly, less than 10 types of bread, a variety of cheeses, milk, pickled food, chips, sweets (fudge, chocolate-covered peanuts, etc.), syrups, trees, flowers, and gardening plants for sale here. I love their walnut raisin bread. It's addicting (and I hate bread). Their produce are always fresh, the employees are friendly, and their flowers are so beautiful when in bloom. They have a pig and a rooster on the property. The second time I went here, the rooster went from the back of the parking lot to the front of the store by the time I exited the store. He was just standing there... perpendicular to the door. So still. It was kind of hilarious. Other than their walnut raisin bread, I really like their fudge, goat cheese, elderberry jam, and crisp vegetables. I've already gone back for more. I really liked this place. I can see myself becoming a regular customer. read more

This is a neighborhood institution. It has tons of family events year round from the fall pumpkin patch & coloring contests, to winter trees, summer has penny the pigs birthday celebration and more. The nursery and farm stand has been there for almost 60 years. As my kids have grown older they and their peers work there which they enjoy and are treated well. read more

I'm all for local produce, because it means ripe vegetables and fruit full of flavor. The issue I have with Nalls is their extremely expensive prices for many of the products with no justifiable reason (see pics for example). They sell the exact same brand of ghee that Mom's carries, but $5 more expensive *per jar*. A lot of their vegetables and fruit are also not local, but are still priced higher than local grocery stores. I wouldn't get anything from here that comes from a long distance, since you could get the same thing at other grocery stores, but I will still continue shopping here for local fruits and vegetables. The fruits here are amazing, you can actually smell the difference. read more

As a first-timer at Nalls Produce, I can confidently say that I am so happy to have visited this establishment. When you arrive, it is off a main road, so you can drive by it rather quickly. I had to use my navigation system because that is exactly what I would have done HAHA! There is so much to look at ranging from the variety of seasonal plants, herbs, flowers, and etc.! They also have gardening equipment, soil, and produce in their buildings that they have. Personally, I was more surprised to see that they had duck eggs, yogurt, and different cheeses. I have not come across these items at a produce stand before, so do not judge me (I definitely plan to purchase the duck eggs at some point in time). In addition to all their fresh items and produce, they also had interesting items such as their syrups (i.e., peaches and cream, maple, cinnamon roll (I could be wrong about that one) that can be used for a variety of food items such as pancakes, in yogurt, and waffles. Other items such as bacon ketchup, applesauces, butters, jellies, salsas, and more lined the walls of the store. I took a particular interest in their wildflower honey which is produced locally. The sign says to use it daily to help build your immune system against seasonal allergies. Honey, I I have allergies all year round, so you know I bought that (pun intended ). I am already on day two and I recognize a decrease in my allergy symptoms already! I also bought a rosemary plant that I will be using for other creations. The total price for the honey and rosemary plan came to about $25 and some change. Considering what I am using these items for, it was worth it. With the service being great and the products being of great quality, I will be returning for sure! P.S. - There are also have some awesome animals that you might hear during your time there! Also, this place is kid friendly as well. They have so much to offer to their customers, so I would suggest checking out their website for more information! read more

Nalls is great for so many reasons. They have fresh local produce, a beautiful sprawling nursery, and Penny the pig! The store is awesome, it's not outdated by any means, but it makes me feel like I'm somewhere else in time.. years back when all grocery stores maybe were quainter and more homelike. Seasonally there is always something going on. Right now, it's flower power week. In the fall there is a huge pumpkin patch and a penny (coin) hunt in a quartered off area of hay for the kids - adult kids included - to play in. At Christmastime they have hella trees of all shapes and sizes. It's almost impossible to return home from a trip to Nalls empty handed! read more

We are impressed and beyond happy with our visit here and I will be back some... actually quite a lot more now. 1) organized inside and out. All prices are displayed and all things are well stocked. 2) customer service is exceptional. I purchased yellow watermelon but when I got home, it was red. I called-they make no fuss at all. I was able to share the red watermelon with my in-laws and all my neighbors. I went back and they had just gave me the yellow watermelon. It was nice gesture and what draws me back to it. They're customer service oriented. 3) they had some eggs and cheese that I want to try next time. Not far from home-why not make it a regular stop for my produce! Come say hi to penny the pig and some loud roosters. They were fun and the kids loved it. read more

Came to Nalls to pick out pumpkins for fall decorations based upon a friend's recommendation. The selection was HUGE and the prices were affordable. Additionally, They offer a CSA that I plan on joining as well as goods in their shop. Nalls runs like a well-oiled machine as far as getting you checked out, making it very clear why they've been around for so long and are a staple in the community. read more

Nalls Produce - Couldn't not take a pick of this pumpkin with the best name around! - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This is such a cute, lovally owned, business! I've been eyeing it since I moved to the area almost a year ago. They hooked me when I drove by after Halloween and they had at least a hundred carved Jack-o-lanterns lit up when we drove by!!! For this visit we went to peruse their Christmas trees. I was excited to see a great variety, from very small to very large trees. They also had different varieties of trees as well (fur, pine, etc). Once we chose our tree they drilled a hole in the middle of the base so it would fit the tree stand they sell there. We did actually purchase a tree stand from them, but it did not fit in our space at home. We called Nalls and explained what was going on. They were happy to accept the return of the unused tree stand. One of the clerks explained that Nalls has food co-ops that you cant participate in. They also do special events for families on holidays - which is what we saw with the pumpkins! They were actually carved by customers! They also sell plants (with warranties), home decor, firewood, and local baked goods and produce...there is really so much that it's worth stopping by to check it out. read more

This place is completely adorable. We came to pick up some pumpkins, which they have a HUGE variety of, including some very huge pumpkins. Some of them were so large they were $80+, so we ended up with a 30lb one - $30, so still a little pricey, but I didn't really care. They have farm animals, too, which simultaneously brought out in me both the inner four-year-old and the inner voice of guilt screaming at me that I should really go vegan one day. Penny the pig was cute af, if a little standoffish, and they had some roosters and chickens strolling around loose as well. My fave animal was Lugnut, a super sweet sixteen-year-old cat. He's deaf so he couldn't hear me babbling at him like a crazy cat lady, but he did enjoy being pet! Make sure you say hi to him, he's the best. In the little checkout barn, you can pick from a variety of fresh farmy stuff like cheese, cider, etc. We picked up some cider to make adult beverages with later, and it is delicious (although it's branded, so I don't think they made it themselves.) The only thing that would make it better would be apple-picking, but it's a pretty small place, so I get that they don't have room for apple trees. Definitely come here for your fall-related needs! read more

Stopped by the annual Nalls Produce Block Party! This is a free annual event. There are amazing samples such as the ever so yummy Trickling Spring Ice cream! I sampled both the creamy raspberry and the caramel. O.M.G. So delicious! Nalls carries the small pints in tons of flavors. We also purchased some yummy seafood and chicken paella, chorizo sausage, and burgers. Yes, we like street food. Catering was provided by Chef Feliciano located off Backlick in Springfield. I heard that they make amazing sandwiches too. The event was very kid friendly with lots of vendors providing kid activities. There was a live band and a moon bounce for the kiddies. Nalls has an amazing selection of plants and they also provide a CSA Crop Share. They hold all sorts of activities including their upcoming pumpkin patch. It's a photographer's dream canvas! Definitely follow them on Facebook because they offer specials and provide all kinds of community events. read more

They have Greek olives, Amish noodles, duck eggs, blue cheeses, homemade ice creams, jellies, butters, fresh yoghurt, bbq sauces, meat rubs, chilies, zucchini, peaches and a whole ton more for sale. Come and be blown away - and wonder why you would ever shop at any supermarket! Flat-out impeccable.. a chef's dream!! Rebel review: 6 stars read more

Sweet small business where you can find a lot of beautiful plants and produce and get really personable service! There are some cool animals roaming the property cared for by the owner like Boo Boo the cat, Penny the hen (and some other chickens), and a dog that I didn't get the name of. It's a family owned business right in the middle of the street with two different entrances, in case you miss the first lol (which I did). I went here with my mom on a Sunday right before they were closing so we promised ourselves that we were gonna come back to get a more extensive experience, but a super cute touch was the radio flyer red wagons available to help you gather whatever you wanted to buy on the property. I only left with two plants, but I will be back. Definitely recommend! read more

We absolutely love that this is our local produce spot! Nalls is exactly what you would want in a local, family owned business. They are the nicest people and they have the highest quality. That's a combo that is hard to beat! We drove by several times after moving into the neighborhood and would always find ourselves stretching our necks to get a better view of what they had to offer. For Halloween they had TONS of pumpkins for sale. They even had one of those record-breaking type huge ones out front. Nalls hosts a community carving day as well. They invite everyone in to carve some pumpkins and then they have a huge roadside display of everyone's art. It is a really cool way to engage the community. We even bought our very first real Christmas tree here as well. Everyone was super friendly and helped us find that magical tree. They took their time answering our silly questions re: maintenance and upkeep. The country store inside is filled with great products as well.
