EatLoco Farmers Market at Brambleton — Local services in Brambleton

This is truly one of the more underrated farmers' markets. Just to be clear, this is one of the highest ratings I have given to any farmers’ market, and that should def say something.

I am not a guy who is easily impressed. It takes a lot to sway me. And maybe this is not the perfect farmers’ market. Probably there is no such thing.

Most times I don't buy anything at the market. Occasionally I'll buy the usual odd stuff: snacks, honey, produce, (too sugary) bread, maple syrup, whatever.

Unless I'm out of town, I typically visit each weekend to stock up for the following week. Seriously, there is nothing better than getting a bunch of sweet potatos, turnips, beets, brussel sprouts, etc. And baking them in olive oil and spices on the weekend and having it to munch on...

This is the tiniest market I’ve every been to. No offense to the vendors. Vendors looked nice and tasty. But wow. Compared to the others…. I walked through this one in 5 minutes. If you’re going to the library or Harris Teeter check it out. There was not much in the way of produce and the 2 or so produce stalls had the same limited options. The options did look fresh.But don’t make a separate trip just for it. Fortunately I live 5 minutes away and had...
