The Manassas Farmers market takes place early on Saturday mornings in a parking lot next to Manassas's historic train station. There is also a Thursday market at the Harris Pavilion (just across the tracks).
Thursday Market 7:00am - 1:00pm. Closing date this year is November 6, 2008. Saturday Market 7:30 am - 2:30pm. Closing date this year is November 22, 2008.
The Manassas market requires that all items not grown by farmers be clearly labeled.
I really enjoy going to the farmers market. The parking lot is full of tents full of produce, plants, fresh bread, & kettle corn. This last Saturday, there was even live music for the enjoyment of all those at the market. That beats chain grocery store music any day. Some people ride their bikes to the market. I like to walk around old town a little bit, get a little excersice before I start my shopping. It is nice to enjoy old town before or after I do my shopping, with it's coffee shop, attique stores, and out of service train that the kids can climb on. There are several banks you can walk to after you park, so you have the cash for the market.
Pick up your reuseable shopping bags and shop local with me at the Manassas Farmers Market!
