Byrd House Farmers Market

Great Weeknight farmers market — helps to cutback a midweek grocery trip.
It closes at 7 so make sure to get there in time. I. Didn’t find the produce too picked over and the crowd was light.

Hey check that out, a farmer’s market that’s open on a week day. That can make it inconvenient for people who work during the day, except for their hours. They’re open 3:30 to 7 pm. Not only are they open during the week, they’re open afternoon instead of morning. I know right?! How unusual!
I found this smallish market because I was taking the back streets, avoiding some gnarly traffic. It’s tucked away behind Byrd house, hidden from everything. In its little grassy lawn, right off the Byrd House garden it’s a lot like a little oasis. Parking isn’t easy, since it’s Oregon Hill near VCU. They say that there’s a parking lot open but perhaps I’m blind, I’ve never noticed it.
Nice veggies, friendly people, some artists and performers make for a nice atmosphere. Every week they raffle off a box of CSA veggies for the next week. I’ve never entered but you gotta admit, it’s better odds than the lottery! Great place and great if you couldn’t bring yourself to get up early enough for the market on the weekend!
