Mosaic Central Farm Market

My go to farmer’s market!
Pro:
–Decent size, nice variety of vendors without making you feel overwhelmed (like the one in DuPont)
–I love going to Number One Sons for all of their fermented products (from pickles to kimchi!)
–Rita’s crepes are delicious (go early to avoid the long line)
With that said, here’s what I’ll like to see added to the market
–A creamery that sells fresh milk and other dairy products
–A pastry stand that sells fresh baked goods. There’s only a bakery stand that sells fresh bread currently. Sunday morning croissant? Yes please!

I really enjoy this farmer’s market. There was a woman there selling homemade chips and salsa, and they were SO good. I noticed a yoga class happening on the lawn by the market, which was pretty cool. It’s a little on the small side compared to the Burke farmer’s market. Plus, when I went, there were a lot more things like chips/​salsa/​food stands/​etc. rather than farmers selling freshly harvested vegetables.

This place is so fun. Really nice shopping district with free parking nearby. Delicious and diverse foods at the stands. Sweet heirloom cherry tomatoes («dark chocolate» :p). Crab cakes. Lobster rolls. Beignets. Bbq Filipino sandwich. Home made Popsicles. Need I say more ???

This is by far the best farmers market in the area. They have awesome made to order food as well as a wide variety of farm fresh fruits, veggies and baked goods. They have the most amazing cheese selection of any market around. And anything you can’t find right there at the market, you can find at mom’s organic market in the same shopping center. We don’t go anywhere else!

Love the variety of options from fresh produce to dumplings to meats !
Favorite vendors include the sausage maker, westmoreland berry farm, pinch dumplings especially if they have the crab ones and number 1 pickle company !
Very easy to get in and out though sometimes the strollers make it quite crowded.

As if I didn’t love Mosaic District enough, they went and added in a farmers market! I have thoroughly enjoyed their FM this year. They have a great range of vendors including two of my favorites: Betty’s Chips and the crepes! There’s also live music to help entertain you. Parts of the street can be hard to walk on if there are lots of strollers, but overall this farmer’s market is a great size to just zip in and out.

Cyndy’s Bottom Line: A great variety of vendors
Happened to walk into the Mosaic Central farmers market and enjoyed the different varieties of vendors.
There are a lot of food vendors ranging from yummy meat pies, beautiful wheels of cheese, decadent chocolates, cookies, brownies, breads, and even a knife sharpening service.
Meat Crafters offer a wide variety of sausage & salami. They are so friendly and enthusiastic about their product and offer tastings of it all. The sausages are simply savory and delicious. There is a wide variety of delicious salamis too. Or better yet you can buy a brat to eat there.

Visit frequently and the same visitors come every week which is good for somethings. There are a few vendors that I only buy tomato’s and peaches from and another place that I always get quality steaks and lamb from so its great from that point of view. Family friendly atmosphere so bring the kids, and the dogs. One tip, you will find a guy that makes crepes. The owner has a small selection of crepes and they are not good. I wouldn’t even say they are mediocre either I would just stay away unless you are starving. and I mean starving. I tried this place out and had his assistant make my crêpe, his assistant SUCKS — he is TERRIBLE. He needs to go back to culinary school and refine his craft. You have been warned.
Have fun.

I visited today, and I think this is a cute market for the casual farmers’ market customer. If you are the type who likes to stock up on fresh ingredients, this place is somewhat limited in what it has to offer produce-​wise. There are many stalls of local food artisans to include: breads, desserts, crepes, sausage, cheese, pickles, etc. The list is pretty varied!
I liked that the sellers weren’t shy about giving out samples. It really helped me to decide what I wanted to buy. I got some scones from a bakery; I’ll definitely get their bread next time because it was so well-​priced! Some of the other vendors were pricey, but I guess that should be expected.
My go to is Nicecream Factory (they go to Kingstowne’s farmer’s market on Fridays as well). I got apple pie today, and it was delicious! Their table could use a bigger name sign though. I also got coconut curry caramels from one lady; they were so amazing! For lunch, my friend got a crêpe, and she said was tasty. For $ 8, it’s a better deal than $ 8 for six dumplings.
Cons: no one sells any drinks! One stall had water bottles, but I’ve been to other markets that sell juice or coffee. I went to Pastry Xpo afterward to quench my thirst. In addition, there weren’t many places with savory, non-​sugary items.
Parking is relatively simple due to the numerous garages. It helps to come early so you don’t run into too much of a crowd, and to make sure the vendors haven’t run out of anything. I really like that this one stays open until 2pm; most markets I’ve been to in VA end by noon. It’s also fun to people– and dog-​watch here!
Bottom line: It’s a smaller market, but it’s nice to roam around for a short while. I’m sure you if visit, you’ll end up buying something!

FINALLY a big farmer’s market on a SUNDAY! I will be back!

Pretty standard farmers market but much smaller. Which is perfect for summer days when it is hot out and you have kids with you. I love how at almost every single one of the vendors provide samples. I tried the crepes which is mediocre. There’s an ice cream stand that uses nitrogen to make the ice cream and it’s kind of fun to watch. I think I may want to try the Maine lobster sandwich stand next.
The plus side is the location and plenty of parking available (couple of covered garages nearby).

Great option for Sunday, lots of parking, and friendly vendors from local farms. The wine tasting from Château O’Brian was fun. I’ve never been a fan of VA wines, but really liked their dry rose.

Sort of small, but does the job. if your looking for a dupont type farmers market this is not it. However, the place has a good selection of produce, products from local stores, ready made food, and unique products. Try the spice from one of the vendors, and ask for suggestions how to use. NEGATIVE one star for the nicecream vendor on customer service and simply not being anything special for the high cost. Nicecream is the typical store that tries to make their food good by being expensive.

Many of the same options that you will find at the Falls Church farmers market but with a little twist that they add in some of the vendors from the Mosaic District.
Easy to find parking in the Target parking lot, easy to get to just be aware that all not all of the vendors take credit cards.
The baker that makes the cupcakes that are vegan is a great place to start because their cupcakes do not taste vegan: they taste like regular cupcakes.
Lots of kids, lots of dogs, tons of strollers but with the convenience of this place you will not regret trying it out!

Came here on «opening day» and was pleasantly surprised at the variety of vendors offering farm fresh veggies, eggs, meats, salsa and more. Scored a cool Mosaic reusable canvas bag to stash everything we bought too. There was also music, a splash fountain outside the coffee shop, and free food samples from the neighboring restaurants (Sweetgreen, Cava, Taylor’s) PLUS a photo booth, DJ and kid-​friendly yoga. to celebrate the 1^st Sunday of the market. Yep, we basically achieved suburban family-​friendly nirvana here.
The booths were located in the alley between the Film Center and the new construction lot which was a bit odd, but thinking as they continue to build and add vendors it will improve the space and overall vibe. While it doesn’t compare to the city atmosphere, it’s sure easier to get to (and park). Highly recommend Betty’s homemade chips and picante salsa. Olé!
