My first time here!…read more So much to see... Parking wasn't an issue, but it was fairly busy yesterday... early Saturday morning. Nevertheless, the people were friendly and willing to assist. My husbae picked up some items and check out was a breeze. I loved the variety and ease of shopping here unlike the chain stores. If you're in the area check them out. I understand this store has been around for decades. Have fun and enjoy life :)

The event included food trucks and a variety of vendors. My friend and I grabbed some BBQ from S&J Catering and it was delicious. We also grabbed donuts from Klassic Donuts and Glazed & Infuzed as well, which were very tasty. As we walked through the different shops, I absolutely loved all the fresh local, produce that was available. One of the shops offered a variety of jarred items and sauces so I purchased Crab Salsa and Spicy Pickled Okra. Both were very good and I definitely need to go back and get more! I absolute love supporting local businesses and I will definitely be returning very soon! Everyone was very nice and I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

There's a seafood market, a butcher shop, a dessert shop, ice cream shop, and a restaurant. The prices are pretty reasonable and the people who work there are pretty friendly. There's plenty of parking. They have carnivals, food trucks, and different events. Check their FB page or website for dates of special events. It's a fun place to go and kill time when you just need something to do. I enjoyed my visit!! Check them out!!

I've lived in VB for almost 11 years, and have NEVER gone strawberry picking! Crazy, I know. I knew…read morethis season I had to go, so I grabbed my friend and her two kids and we decided to give Hickory Ridge Farm a try! What a gem. They have buckets for you to grab, or you can bring your own. You get charged per pound that you pick and pay when you're done! They had so many strawberries ready to pick, I had so much fun doing this with my friends kids! I was already planning on making a homemade strawberry shortcake when I got home. They have a cute little coffee truck which I obviously had to stop by. If you have a strawberry latte during strawberry season - you can count on me to grab one! It was so good, and not too sweet or tart from the strawberry! I also had to grab their strawberry donuts from the farm stand. Which, needless to say ... they did not make it home with me. We scarfed those down! Incredible. I loved the "petting zoo" area. You can feed the goats, sit in the rabbit pen and give them some pets, and play with the piglets! Such a cute add on to this experience; and the petting zoo was no charge! They also have a ton of toys and bounce houses for the kiddos. If you're looking for a fun strawberry picking experience, give them a try!

The selection here is immense with a large variety of jarred goods, drinks, dairy products and even meats. I ended up buying a jar of pickled watermelon rinds and sweet potato butter. Both were delicious selections that I haven't really seen anywhere else. The cashier was really nice and bagged my items for me. They only accept Cash or Checks, not CC. This prevented me from grabbing more, so I'd definitely recommend coming prepared with cash so you can get everything you'd like. The prices are fair and cheaper than what you'd find in the grocery store, so it's a decent trade-off for the cash-only model!

As a child growing up in South Carolina my family and I would always get up on Saturdays and go to…read moreyard sales, flea markets, and farmers markets. I haven't been to any type of market in ages, but this morning I felt like exploring. I moved to Virginia 3 1/2 years ago and I enjoy cooking in my kitchen. I've had several thoughts about going to the farmer markets in the areas and I made those thoughts come true on today. My first stop was here at this particular one. Upon entering, we were greeted by Anna or Annie. She was working behind the counter and welcomed us inside. She even told me where I could find something specific I was looking for. As she waited on customers to shop she stocked up on some things and aligned items on shelves. Super helpful! We walked around and collected several items before heading to the register. I told her we hadn't been to a farmers market in so many years and she told us to come back any time and that they would be happy to serve us. Made my entire day!!! The ambiance of the market felt family strong. I loved the atmosphere and the foods/products made readily available. I can't wait to return. Upon leaving we saw that there was a food truck on the premises serving ice cream and hotdogs. We had just came from eating and didn't get to check them out, but if it's there when we return we'll definitely check it out. If you're reading my review, please go by and check them out.

I've driven by this farmers stand many times, but noticed that it was always closed. Recently, a…read moreneighbor told me that they had just reopened and it had been renovated inside. My kids and I stopped in last week and it was nice and tidy. There isn't a ton of inventory, but enough to line the shelves so it doesn't look completely empty. There were tomatoes, cantaloupe, blueberries (locally sourced) and some jams and other preserves. I was surprised that most of the produce was not locally sourced since there are sooooo many farms in Chesapeake and VA Beach. I'm sure they are working on getting more inventory as the weeks progress. We purchased a cantaloupe, tomatoes from GA and some local blueberries and all of them were fantastic! The cantaloup was super juicy and cantaloupe-y flavor, tomatoes were juicy (made a Caprese salad with fresh basil from the plant I've been keeping alive) and the blueberries were gone before I could even taste them. My little fruit fiends got to them before I could! They also have a little animal area outside. We saw some rabbits, chickens and baby goats. I would really call it a petting zoo (no charge to look at the animals), but still a nice area for the kids to explore. Look forward to see what else they add to their store! Stay safe, Friends!

I am definitely going back. It has so much of the same items that my favorite Farmers Market has but I can go on my lunch hour. I don't have to get up on a Saturday morning early and make it down there before the crowds. They have loads of fresh veggies and fruits - of course. Seafood. Nuts. Soup. Sauce. Candy. The prices are about the same as any other farmers market. They were super friendly and told gave me the lay of the land and what was fresh. Yup...this is going to be a regular stop for me.

Who wants to buy old fruits and veggies from the grocery store instead of shopping at an open-air market? From early May through November, the Suffolk Farmers' Market (SFM) provides a plethora for our senses. Approximately three years ago the SFM started a visitor center that has some nice features, including a pavilion and ceiling fans. Here are key features: -local produce -baked goods -artisan crafts (e.g., jewelry, bags, wood, etc.) -dog biscuits -live music -plants -petting zoo -grass-fed meat and eggs The SFM is open Wednesdays (3 p.m. - 6 p.m.) and Saturdays (9 a.m. - 1 p.m.); personally, I would recommend going on Saturdays as the selections on Wednesdays can be sparse. It is not the biggest market around; but, more so, it's about the community and supporting local businesses. Check it out!

I have been coming to the Pungo Strawberry Festival for several years. This year was absolutely the…read moremost hectic and crowded year I can remember. That's incredible for pungo and the festival vendors. Parking is $10 which is pretty pricey. I spend less parking at events at the oceanfront and waterside. It's nothing but locals so I wish they would decrease by $5 considering everything at the festival is pricey and people spend a lot on the food. A little cut in parking would make up for that. Sadly there wasn't as much strawberry items as previous years. I appreciated Lolly's and Sawdust having strawberry inspired drinks. I found a strawberry shortcake dessert and strawberry lemonade and that was about it. Really sad about that as pungo houses a lot of yummy strawberries. Nonetheless this is a local spot that I've come to for years and won't stop now. I just hope it continues to listen to the locals and adjust here and there.
