Farmers Markets
Organized by the Fairfax County Park Authority, these Farmers' Markets of
fer a wide variety of freshly picked fruits, vegetables, herbs and cut flowers. There are also fresh eggs, baked goods, fresh pasta, honey, jam, teas and cider to purchase. Milk and cheese products, and homemade ice cream, along with a wide array of meat products, round out the edible delights offered. If gardening is an interest, many vendors have small plants at the beginning of the season, while other vendors have larger landscape plants for those ambitious projects.
Vendors must grow, race, or produce their own products within a 125 mile
radius. The mission of these markets is to support local agriculture within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed area.
