Fairfax County Farmers Markets Guide
Ten county-run markets plus a strong independent scene. Days, hours, and locations for the 2026 season.

Market tips
- Go early for the best selection — popular vendors sell out by 10am at the Saturday markets.
- Bring cash. Most vendors take cards now, but cash is faster and some still prefer it.
- Dogs: policies vary by market. EatLoco explicitly welcomes dogs; for county-run markets, check the specific market's rules before bringing yours.
