Sunday Brunch Market

Sunday Brunch Market sits within GrowRVA’s orbit, a network built to connect local farms, local food, and local arts with Richmond-area communities. That matters here because GrowRVA’s markets follow a producer-only model, meaning products sold through its markets must be handmade, homegrown, or homemade in Virginia by the vendor. For shoppers in Glen Allen, that frames this market less as a generic resale stop and more as part of a Virginia-focused food-and-maker system shaped by the same organization founded by Karen Grisevich. The market is located at 2880 Mountain Road and runs on a seasonal schedule from May through October.

Why it matters locally

GrowRVA says its mission is to connect local farms, local food, and local arts with Richmond communities while promoting sustainability and healthy food options for all Richmonders. Sunday Brunch Market belongs to that same framework, so its local value is tied to a model that keeps selling centered on Virginia producers rather than outside resellers.

The clearest local anchor is GrowRVA’s producer-only rule: all products sold at its markets must be handmade, homegrown, or homemade in Virginia by the vendor. That standard keeps the focus on direct regional production, whether a shopper is looking for farm goods or crafted items. GrowRVA’s markets also pair food and arts rather than treating them as separate spheres, reflecting Karen Grisevich’s aim to bring open-air markets built around both interests to the Richmond area.

What you'll find there

The strongest throughline here is the producer-only standard, which points shoppers toward Virginia-made and Virginia-grown goods rather than a mixed resale market. GrowRVA describes this market style as a place where farmers and artisans sell locally grown and handmade items, with produce, handmade goods, and more in the mix.

• -Find locally grown produce sold through a producer-only market format.
• -Browse handmade goods from artisans working within GrowRVA’s producer-only rules.
• -Expect items that are handmade, homegrown, or homemade in Virginia by the vendor.

GrowRVA also uses Facebook for weekly vendor lists and event updates across its markets, which helps shoppers track who will be on site on a given Sunday.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, a rule that can change plans before you leave home. Sunday Brunch Market is at 2880 Mountain Road in Glen Allen and runs Sundays from May through October, 10am to 1pm. The market’s payment information is clear enough that shoppers can plan beyond cash-only assumptions, and SNAP/EBT is accepted.

One practical gap: restrooms are not available, so this is easier to treat as a focused shopping stop than a long linger. GrowRVA also leans on Facebook for weekly vendor lists and event updates, which is useful if you want a sense of that week’s lineup before heading over. The producer-only standard means the emphasis stays on goods sold directly by the people who made or grew them in Virginia.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Sunday Brunch Market, giving shoppers a clear option for using food assistance benefits while buying from Virginia producers. Payment methods are presented clearly enough to plan a visit without assuming cash only, and the market operates within GrowRVA’s producer-only system.
