Farmers Market

Located just minutes from Washington, D.C. and Metro accessible from the East and West Falls Church Metro stations, Falls Church City's Farmers Market has something for all. Buying locally not only supports local farmers, but also helps protect the environment by reducing packaging and transportation demands.

Open year round, the Market hosts more than 15 local farmers and producers in the winter and more than 40 the rest of the year. Vendors offer fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables, cheeses, meats, baked goods, plants, and wine. The Fairfax County Master Gardeners also staff a booth at the Market to answer gardening questions.

The City of Falls Church Farmers Market Chef Series brings local Washington DC area restaurants into the Market to develop recipes using local, seasonal food showcasing the bounty of the Mid-Atlantic region. The Series also highlights the importance of eating local seasonal food for the health of our environment, economy, and ourselves.

Check out the schedule below, or for more information including video and recipes, visit the Chef Series website.
