2017 FARMERS’ MARKETS ARE HERE!
Enjoy healthy living and teach your children about plants, food, agriculture, and commerce with a visit to a local farmer’s market. Children might be more inclined to eat foods they have chosen themselves, so taking them shopping at a farmer’s market is a great way to support local businesses and provide nutritious food for your own family. Below is a list of the farmers markets in and near Fairfax County. Many are run by Fairfax County or other local governments, while some others are run by Smart Markets, Inc., a private company and others are run by nonprofit or co-op groups.
Some of the markets also feature entertainment and kids’ activities. As always, schedules are subject to change so always check the websites and/or call ahead to confirm! And remember to bring your reusable shopping bags! 🙂 For your convenience, we’ve organized our linked list below by day of the week and neighborhood.
