Four Mile Run Farmers & Artisans Market

Great to have a local farmers market. Pretty good selection. They even have music some Sundays. Wish there was a little more selection, but there’s only so much room in the park area.

This is a pretty good farmer’s market. I am a fan. We got to 4 mile super early and not many vendors were on site yet, which is a pet peeve of mine because if the market opens at 8am and you expect to sell your wares, you should be there at 730am at the latest. What was there was a nice array of veggies and fruit, of course it was the height of the season so moving into fall the selection may be more limited.
I would say make this your first stop on a Sunday morning for your weekly grocery shopping and then hit up the Columbia Pike Farmer’s Market for the rest of your culinary needs.

This is a smaller market than the ones in Del Ray or King Street. Although both of those markets are closer to me, I prefer this one. First, the layout is so much better than Del Ray, where you’re constantly being run over by a stroller the size of a VW bug or struggling to figure out what is in each stall. I also like that it runs on Sundays, as that’s just a more convenient morning than Saturdays, for me.
They have everything I need, and more. The vendors are all local, and very friendly. I bought some plums today that were so ripe and fresh that one bite took me back into childhood memories of picking plums off my grandparents’ trees all summer long. Bread and Chocolate is there, too, for lovely, delicious baked goods. The prices are very good, at least with the items that I buy.
Anyway, check out this market. It’s a great alternative to the other markets in town, and, as far as I know, the only one in the area that runs on Sundays. It isn’t open in the winter, but for the months it’s open, it will be my go to market.

If you’re looking for locally grown vegetables and fruits, eggs, or meats — then this is a nice, small market to visit. Open Saturdays in the summer from 8 – 1, at this time there are maybe 8 to 10 tents and vendors. Worth visiting if you live nearby.

This is a great new farmers market conveniently located on Mount Vernon Avenue near Glebe Road. It features a wide (and growing) array of fresh vegetables and seasonal fruit, as well as local free-​range beef and baked goods. There are a couple of bakeries represented, some with artisanal breads and scones and others with empanadas and sweet pupusas. The vegetables and fruits are delicious and fresh; I recommend getting there early to get the best selection. There is iced and hot coffee/​tea and the whole vibe is very neighborhood funky/​friendly. The market is active from 8 am — 1 pm on Sundays from April to October. Check it out and come home with some berries and fresh okra.
