Karla Kelly

Beautiful area! Great selection of vendors. Fresh vegetables, fruit and plants to buy. The bakery has some very wonderful items to try... Will go back again!

Karla Bloom

Food festivals not as good as I would have expected. Nice merchants. The crane place though for an ice cream cones whole milk straight from the cow. I think because of the time of the year because of the extreme heat just made a difference in agriculture. I still would recommend this place because other times it's really good.

Lorrie Riddle

What a lovely place to stroll. The selection of goods is wonderful not just fresh fruits & veggies but the delicious bakeries, organic grocer and handmade soaps and other items. A great shopping and dining experience.

Chris Pennington

Such a great place to get organic and fresh food.

Marcia Richard

Gary Zalas

Tarra Ferguson-Davis

Hey if you can't find it at one try another, wide selection

Clarence Riggins

Its a little expensive but has good produce

Susan Shortridge

Though it was nice. A lot of businesses were reselling. Not From farm to table items.

Katherine Justice

I like it I go a few times a year. Its fun to take the kids and get ice cream.

Darryl Royer

There wasn't much going on in early March. Pretty empty. I've been there during the late spring and summer and there is a lot going on. I would give it 5 stars then.

Skylar Castaneda

Beautiful area with wonderful shops.

Valerie Ward

I really loved this place - at first. All of the vendors are friendly, fun to talk to, and there are great shops and good variety. I especially loved the bakery (makes a delicious "tomato pie" which is a quiche-like pizza). However, there are a couple of really problematic aspects to this place. First, after having several great experiences with purchasing freshly cut meats at the butcher shop, my husband and I got sick from their steaks. At first I thought this was just a freak accident, and even tried to blame the veggies we had for dinner alongside those steaks. However, the following week, when we purchased several cuts of meat, chicken, and tuna steaks, I observed the cashier preparing food, ungloved, and then operating the register without washing her hands between activities. The food she was preparing was rubbing marinade over meat and vegetable kabobs. I was so grossed out I nearly threw up. She literally handed back my credit card covered in marinade. Im now fairly sure that their meat did in fact make us sick. The manager was standing near this cashier and saw nothing wrong with what she was doing - I hate to think what else they do (that I haven't witnessed). Another issue : many of the produce vendors are awesome. Really lovely people that offer local produce - however, I later noticed that some of the vendors were selling produce that had stickers on it. Things like oranges (which I know are definitely not grown locally in VA). Like I said, I really loved this place, for a while. But for the reasons listed above, I grew disenchanted.

Jacob Becker

Best butcher shop in Virginia. Get some of their ribs.

Jermaine WIlson

A variety of local shops in one central location. Open year-round and a pleasant atmosphere. Love spending Saturday afternoons here.

Local produce, butcher shop, flowers and vegetables to plant at home, creamery, everything to shop local for your meal planning. Cute circular walking design means you park in the middle, and walk from your starting point around and back to your car. Walking area resembles a covered porch so you can shop on a rainy day. Open air shops are long standing local farmers tenants. Also gift shops with nice variety. Lots of beach and coastal items....no surprise, it IS Va Beach local, and tourists or locals can find items for their homes. Butcher shop sells meat packages ordered in advance. Great quality. Fun grocery shopping w kids. Started going there w mine over 20 years ago, and now it's cool to shop local. They listed it as a destination for visiting family.

Amanda Kilburn

Lovely. Everyone is very nice. And found wonderful trinkets to take home.

Sandy Thornhill

Very nice people. Fresh, local products!

Cristal Bass

Something fresh for everyone. The Princess Anne Grill is delicious too. Nice people. Go there and just walk and browse. You'll find something yummy.

Abbey Campbell

Great place to get fresh product .All the centers are helpful and polite

Courtney Oden

wonderful products and friendly staff they have a nice variety to choose from and right around the corner from us!

Debbie Wright

Several venders to shop for fresh produce. Also a meat market that carries a wide variety of meats plus the ecotic. They also serve fresh to order sandwiches. There's a dairy and ice cream shop, a restaurant, health food store, a gift shop and a bakery. Probably missed a few. There is a garden set up in the back we love walking through and say hi to the chickens.

Sofa Doctor Interiors

The diner here is one of those "GREAT HIDDEN GEMS"!.. clean, pleasant service, inexpensive and the food was FANTASTIC! ! Top off your meal with a stroll around the farmers market. Great experience. I would definitely make it a stopping point anytime I travel through that part of Virginia.

Alexander Mausser

I love the country grill and definitely go to Gillies ice cream for the kids. They have fresh vegetables and amazing products .

Michelle Story, MSW

The farmers market on Dam Neck in Virginia Beach is like stepping back in time (in a good way!). Take the family, buy local and enjoy a Virginia Beach experience like no other. P.S. the PA Grill is great for breakfast and the waitstaff is always sweet and greets you like a regular even if you're not!

Larry Pappas

Very good meat, ice cream was great

Maddison Lozier

They have great holistic and natural/organic options that are locally grown.

Perry Ketter

I love the natural organic honey they provide.

Chris Mccloud

Great fruit @ veggies friendly plans to return

Ryan Johnson

Has some cool shops. Feels a little too commercial for my tastes. No one who sells anything here actually made/raised it which is the whole point in a farmers market. These people are just trying to profit off the "Farmer's Market" buzz word.

Megan Russell

Good stop for veggies, meats, fruits and veggies, even a dessert shoo. Great choices, friendly relaxing atmosphere

Briana Fuentes

We love coming here for our fresh vegetables. The kiddos love the giant chocolate chip cookies.

Mary Kinslow

Great little outting with the kiddos. Quality stuff and good prices. :)

Kim T

You can find that unique oddball item And fresh vegetables

My first time here. Loved it. Too much to do and get this far from payday BUT I will be back. Met some lovely vendors so helpful in getting what I came for and the soap vendors...how did you know that is my one luxery!?!

Wanda Akiyama

Variety of places to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Don't forget to stop at the Princess Anne Grill for lunch!

Angela Dehart

Love all the shops at the market! Great way to support local businesses, artists, and food. The prices for the products are fantastic! The addition this year of the ice skating rink is just awesome! My family and I visited the stores and picked out some gifts, then went ice skating, then brought home a tree. Perfect way to start the season!

Beverly McCormick

Good food with fair prices

Amy Gragg

We enjoy going to Farmers Market for fresh local produce, fresh meat from the butcher shop and seasonal items such as pumpkins and gourds. There are many unique items in the shops for home and for gifts.

Taryn A. Myers

Great space but not all the vendors grow their own products. I like Skipper Farms because they do grow their own produce. The butcher, bakery, and creamery are all also great stops with high quality products .

charles ogden

Great selection from several local farmers, ice cream, bakery, butcher, seafood, all on site. Full calendar of activities for all ages.

Debbie Benjamin

Good collards greens...around this time of the years .....good season meats as well. .

Andrew Hampton

The Creekmore porduce stand is phenomenal. Miss Sharon and her husband Dione make us feel like family everytime. Great interactions + great produce = well worth the trip!

Jay Zongolowicz

Grew up going here. Not the same as it used to be but Gilley's ice cream is great. I even try raw corn and it was amazingly sweet.

Scott Simpson

The different stands offer a great variety of fresh foods.

Tressa Shifflett

Great place to walk and get fresh produce and other items. Love the food places.

Ruthie Edwards

Very good local veggies, baked goods, gifts, flowers, Amish furniture, and etc.. I love just browsing and having lunch at the restaurant. Plus, if you go on Friday night, you can listen to live music during the summer.

Keisha Rorie

Some take cards and some dont. Not everyone these days carry cash and the first lady was rude

Jayson Young

I love the farmers market. It is really close to my house which is great but the staff is always friendly and they have so many options. Make sure to check out their events that they have as well. It gets really busy but they also have been vendors.

Song Salieri

Well laid out, nice shops. I would have liked to see a little more variety in produce, such as blue potatoes and purple carrots, but there was quite an assortment otherwise. Friendly service, honest people. You can get everything from fresh fruits and veggies to ice cream. The meat selection was amazing. I took home some elk medallions.

Victoria Shackleford

This farmers market is perfect <3 everyone is so helpful and so sweet and I love it

Alexandra Mireles

Nice Farmers Market. There are a few vendors with good produce. I like that there is a butcher shop and ice cream shop located here, very convenient. During the Winter its a ghost town because there is no produce.

Fred Gutermuth

Great place for fresh produce

Eleni Adondakis

I love this place!! Great vendors, great food!

Marianne Apiag-Smith

I love this place! I love that I can come here and get fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat. I also love the flower shop there. It's a great place to spend an afternoon.

Lacey Gordon

They have great produce, all of the vendors are nice, really cute shops, and the best part is when they have carnivals or festivals where you can see animals, go on rides, and see more artistic vendors or others selling fun items. I can walk here too which is great for myself and my daughter. Love this place!

Cv Owens

Amazing place to take a date and the pa grill is really good food

Beth Thompson

It was a farmers market with no vegetables! The one place with vegetables didn't take cards. The seafood market has a fresh catch sign out front stating "caught today" with a list of about 8 items. The only thing he had was frozen scallops! So disappointing!

Ginny Shrimplin

We were there the day after Memorial Day and some places were not open yet. It also had rained the day before so new produce was not available. ..not their fault. We did find everything we needed and a nice visit with Mary at one of the stands.

Melissa Harrison

Great family friendly place amd educational

Kristan Youngblood

Love coming here, the quaint stores have lots of things to look at and buy. I buy my local honey there, the gentleman that i spoke wuth was very helpful and knowledgeable!! Right accross the street to a nice park and more shopping plazzas. Farmers market has small carnival set ups all the time. Penny candy is always a good thing to stop and pick up.

Gail Webb

Prices are high, but it's nice to walk around and look.

John Carlock

Clara Camp

There was a Craft show, entertainment, food trucks, and an ice skating rink

Margaret Devan

Great place for local fruit and veggies. Creekmore's Place is the best.

The PA Grill is always worth a visit.

Lexi Ayala

Fresh local food, talented artisans,family events. I really enjoy all the wonderful events this place puts on. A great place to spend the afternoon with the family. Overall one of my favorite places.

Natashia Hill

I was disappointed. It's permanent location, but not a traditional farmer's market. The prices are higher than Whole Foods and that's saying a lot in itself. It must be a tourist attraction because it's nothing like the farmer's market in Yorktown, VA (which I loved). This one didn't have a lot of variety and many of the vendors sold the same products. However, the bakery was the only redeeming part of my visit. I had the most delicious sweet potato monkey bread (only available on the weekends).

stephanie allen-abreu

Bought some loose leaf tea today. This was my second visit. Just as helpful as my first time and very knowledgeable. Prices on the the teas I bought were great. Definitely will be returning.

Ricardo Vidallon

Always a great experience. Great produce and very friendly people.

Mary Giangregorio

Pumpkins, lovely Jam and fresh picked Apples..Oh my!! My grandson and I had a fun time shopping and of course there is the Creamery! A fun afternoon outing.

Tara Hawkins

Great little market to pick up produce, soaps, meats and dairy!

Sean Tosloskie

Love this place, it has everything you need!

Taylor Wentworth

This place is absolutely amazing! I love the produce and prices, and all of the other vendors have such amazing products, also. I highly recommend Flutterby Soap! They are dog friendly! The whole Market is, but you can take your pup into their store and their soaps are AMAZING!

Earlene Mayhorn

Quaint, creative shops! I strongly encourage supporting small businesses!

Susan Grunewald

Love the produce ,and the little cafe there.

Meg Turley

My favorite farmer's market in Virginia Beach. You can get everything you need in one place! Flutterby Soap is AMAZING and is highly recommended! The Virginia Organic Market carries Polyface meat and eggs which are delicious! The butcher and creamery are both excellent, and the produce at all the booths is incredible! And while you are in the area, the Amish store next door is a must visit!!

Margie Smith

Always helpful. Always organic fresh and wonderful.

A small cat

I love this farmer’s market. It is my favorite in Hampton Roads. We go here several times a year to get steaks from the butcher shop and sometimes buy produce, pottery, baked goods, ice cream, and gifts for friends and family from the specialty shops. This is a great location and it has plenty of parking inside the circle of the farmer’s market and behind the stores. They have a public restroom and a diner as well. It is shaded as well so that helps a little during the summer time for the sunny days and the winter time if the wind is really chilly. Everyone that works here is friendly (all the shops). They are helpful as well trying to make sure you are finding what you are looking for, if they have it. There are some great prices/deals too especially at the places we frequent here and love the most – amish bake shoppe, butcher shop, and the moosewood creek store (pottery). We can’t wait to go back again.

Ashley Pittman

Love this place, we specifically go for the Oberweis milk from Gilly's but there are plenty of other great shops & produce stands to check out. We love our fresh foods & supporting local business is always a plus!

Alyssa Maclin

Everyone is soooo helpful! I'm excited to see this place during the busy season.

Chelsea Duncan

They have a great selection of lovely plants and produce, and the homemade ice cream at the creamery is delicious.

I love this farmers market. They always have great produce, and I love going to Flutterby to get soaps and lotions.

Megan Spotts

Had a great time, the shops are great and everyone is so friendly! Lots of great finds, really loved the butcher and seafood place! Just a great experience.

Susan Moore

I like to stroll the covered walk way around the circle of shops and produce vendors. Summertime, FREE Friday nights live music. Pumpkins galore in fall. Be sure to walk through the educational garden in summer. It's beautiful! They have chickens! Lots of activities all times of the year. - craft shows, carnival, music and more. Local grown produce is great!

K. Susan Huffer

Love going to the Virginia Beach Farmers Market! Lots to see and look at. You can get fresh vegetables and fruits that are delicious. One of my favorite stores sells jewelry and I have gotten many beautiful necklaces and earrings there. The ice cream store is always a treat with a good variety of ice cream flavors. There are two restaurants to eat at and both are good for a quick bite and are reasonably priced. There is an Amish store that has homemade desserts like pies and cookies for sale that are yummy. They also sell homemade furniture there. I have taken my grandson when they have a carnival there and he loves going on all the rides. If you haven't been to the Farmers Market you should definitely go! It makes for an enjoyable day!

Barry Wilson

Had the lunch Blue Plate special at the PA Grill it was very good

Lex Morgan

Excellent service. Great selection. Go Steelers!

Wilson Mourino

Over priced due to over population best to head to a local ranch or grocery store.

John Hudnall

Great place ... but most shops close at 5pm. Makes it hard to get to during the week.

James Jordan

Great place for PRODUCE AND LOCAL food. Be sure to check out the Garden Box!

JENNIFER WINN

This is the best place to come and get local fruits, vegetables, and other products. The food at the restaurant is wonderful and a great price too! Creekmore's always has beautiful and delicious produce and Season's Best Bakery has tomato pies and Greek pies that are to die for! Friday nights features music - a good ole hoedown that's fun for all.
