“Great market with more than just vegetables. This market has a variety of soaps, salts, breads, vegetables, eggs, meats, dog items, food trucks offering vegan/vegetarian options, as well as regular fare, and even offers a Christmas Market during the holiday season. If you haven't been - go. Unlike other farmer's markets in the area, South of the James Market is open year round. The market is dog friendly (be sure they are leashed) and there is plenty here to please the whole family.”

“This is a great Farmers Market, you can find everything you can imagine, from vegetables to clothes to jewelry and more. The produce is fresh and tasty and you get to learn about a lot of local farms. There is live music and pets are welcome. You can eat at the food trucks and there is free parking. It closes at noon, so it is best to get there early. Forest Hill Park is awesome as well, so you can spend an entire morning here and it is totally worth it.”

“At least on Father’s Day, it was a little small. You can buy coffee from five different vendors can’t figure out why some vendors have long lines and don’t but the coolest vendor was a person giving out free books. Lots of good music.”

“Just got breakfast at Hog Haven Farm. The original biscuit under whelmed. The very thin sausage patty made it hard to taste the sausage (McDonald's is bigger). The long wait was not worth the end result. The English Muffin was so hard zip had trouble cutting it with a knife much less actually bitting it. It ended up in the trash. I would have returned it if I had TRIED to eat it there. Please choose to do better.”
