"Large farmers market in the heart of old town Alexandria on Saturday mornings. Gorgeous fall day with an amazing array of apples, flowers, cheese, bread, pastries,veggies and more. Worth the visit for sure."

"Situated at 301 King Street, right in front of City Hall, the Old Town Alexandria Farmers' Market is a historic gem and a Saturday morning staple for those who live nearby. Open every Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to Noon, rain, shine, or snow, this is not just a farmers market; this is THE farmers market! Holding the title of the oldest farmers' market in the country held continuously at the same site, it offers a unique blend of history and community spirit. You can stroll through the same market that George Washington sold his produce from Mount Vernon and immerse yourself in a tradition that dates back centuries. From the moment you arrive, the market's lively atmosphere draws you in. With over 70 vendors during peak season, there's a dazzling array of offerings including fresh fruits and vegetables, hot prepared foods, cheeses, specialty sauces, freshly baked breads, pastries and much more. Some of my favorite and regular places that I visit at the market are Coulter farms (which provides high-quality dairy goods, beef, granolas and more from an Amish farm), Baked by Yael (which offers delectable bagels and treats that are perfect for a quick snack as you browse) and Hog Haven Farm which is a crowd favorite (their breakfast sandwiches are so good, there's often a line, but it moves quickly and is worth every minute of the wait). Also I can't forget about MB Bakery On The Go, located along the back side of the fountain, it has a lot of real estate showcasing their variety of baked goods and famous homemade pop-tarts. Chocotenango Chocolate is also great (chocolates handcrafted from bean to bar). Bigg Riggs Gourmet Farm brings some of the freshest fruits and vegetables, and Farm Kettle Corn is perfect for a sweet and / or savory, crunchy treat. If you're looking for something for the home head to Lily Shoppe which sells natural soap bars that are aromatic and sweet, you can browse them while snacking on an Maracas Ice Pop (all-natural fruit popsicles) from the corner. They are a refreshing and delicious way to help keep you cool on these hot DMV Saturdays. There are too many great places to list here but it's a overall a great opportunity to support local businesses all at once! Live musical performances also add to the festive ambiance, making the market experience even more enjoyable (these performances seem to rotate every week). With many public bike racks close to Market Square, it’s bike-friendly too—just remember to bring your own lock as bikes (as well as pets) aren't permitted on Market Square during market hours. The Old Town Alexandria Farmers' Market is more than a place to shop; it’s a place to connect with locals and local businesses, experience history, and enjoy the best local produce and artisanal goods the area has to offer. It’s an essential Saturday destination that promises a delightful experience for everyone. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this market is a must-visit if you are nearby!"

"Fantastic! Fruits, veggies, meats, fish, pastries and more. Lovely Saturday stroll in Old Town, great place to stop."

"This farmers' market is located in Old Town, Alexandria. It offers several fresh items, including vegetables, fruits, flowers, cheeses, honey, and baked goods. Walking from one stall to another can be an enjoyable experience as you can explore what each vendor offers and people at the market are friendly. The prices at the market may not necessarily be lower than those at a supermarket, but you support your local community by purchasing from them."

"We love this market. We plan visits to Alexandria and leave Philadelphia at 6am to ensure we're at the market before 9am. Our number one highlight is the Hog Haven Farm stand for their out of this world Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich. A Sage Sausage patti, fried egg & cheese on a Toasted homemade English Muffin topped with a savory slightly secret sauce. It may change your life. It will ruin your any garbage breakfast Sandwich from most other spots. You'll likely go back again. The foil wrapped deliciousness are cooked while you watch and served hot & fresh. There will be a line. They move it efficiently."
