Reviews for: Columbia Pike Farmers Market

The veggies and fruit are fresh and delicious. You can get an iced coffee and chocolate some Sundays.

It's the only one that I can walk too, and the neighborhood has lost two supermarkets and a natural foods store over the past five years.

It makes good use of a public park on a weekday (Thursdays); it straddles "rich" and "modest" neighborhoods and brings people together; it offers a great variety of fresh veggies plus some home-made goodies, like jellies.

It's a small market, easy to cover, and it has a wide selection. The Sunday morning schedule is convenient for me.

I helped to start it as a member of Va's oldest food cooperative at the time ^_^ I love that our local farmers have a place to sell their harvest so they are NOT selling their land to developers. Big agra cannot provide us and our children with the needed minerals that have been stripped from the soil... shipping costs us $ in pollution, unripe veg sitting in storehouses, yech! Fresh picked, garden ripened, organic that benefits the community is what I prefer and fight for. We have entertainment too. Kids need live music to learn how it's made.

The vendors are wonderful and have great wares to sell to the community at affordable prices.
