FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA (GNB) — Farmers Markets in Northern Virginia becoming popular in the last couple of years. Residents enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables and can cook and eat fresh all week long.
There are fewer farmers markets available in spring and summer 2021, but several year-round, and many of the seasonal markets are open. Many farmers markets in Northern Virginia have added online ordering options, and all have enacted new rules during this time of social distancing due to COVID-19.
