The fruits and vegetables are fresh, the prices are good, the people are friendly, and I feel as though I'm helping people who live nearby.

I have lived in the Manassas area since 1959 and have seen it grow and grow, but still remain a downhome type of town. The farmers market is there for everyone to enjoy. Young and old. Just to walk down the main street and enjoy the neat little shops. Come and Visit and I now that you will enjoy.

Because we always get super selection and pricing, besides, it's FUN to talk to the people who produced the products!

Whenever I go to the farmer's market in Old Town Manassas, it always smells so good and sometimes some of the people let you taste their food, especially the watermelon. The watermelon is so juicy and very sweet, so my family always make sure we get at least one big watermelon. Plus, I like that the people are very friendly and very helpful in choosing your fruits or vegetables (sometimes even bread)!

I can always count on great fruits and veggies, organic honey and great plants for my herb and flower gardens. I've been going there for more than 10 years, and will never give it up!

I saw that there was little to no information about the Manassas Farmers market, so I thought I should right one. I have lived in Manassas most of my life and I go to the farmers market.
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!

Thank you, Jessica. I find that the more time goes on and we see more and more "unnatural" foods plaguing our stores and advertisements, the more that some of us are becoming more (am I using that word too much?) focused on - almost obsessing on - finding natural foods that are supporting our local farms and reducing our consumption of pesticides, herbicides, etc. I will make a point of checking out the Manassas Market.
