Fairfax Farmers' Market - Market Opens May 9, 2026 — Local services in Fairfax

I have been here 3 times, once on a Sunday (a smaller market) and twice on a Saturday. The cons first: there is very little in the way of seating or trash disposal. One vendor lifted his nose at me when I politely asked if he could dispose of a single can of soda. I may have offended him, I suppose, but then I’m a mere peasant. The pros: check out the Valdez Brothers for produce. It’s varied and good. I’ve bought from them on the three occasions I’ve been there. Basil, fennel, radish, squash blossoms, tomatoes, dill, a mixed lettuce greens bag. I’ve seen stunning flower bouquets there as well. Go to the vendor selling fresh brat sandwiches. Grilled in front of you. Just be careful not to stroll too closely to the Valdez’ as you might offend a vegan. As I said, I’m just a peasant. For a good hand cream, go to the Watkins (brand name) stand. For jewelry, go to the ladies from Mumbai. For fresh lemon and pineapple juices, visit the ladies who will also cook tasty dumplings for you. There is a bread vendor who sells delicious ginger bread among other delectables. And a coffee vendor who gives brief lessons on coffee as well as samples or a fresh cup. You’ll also find candles, soaps and shampoo bars. Local honey, fresh chicken and pork. Empanadas and pastry. Worth a visit if you’re in the area. Remember to bring your...

First visit here, but not my last! This is a smaller, more manageable farm market than Falls Church (the gold standard) or Springfield (Meh. Spread out and not very many stands). In Fairfax, you can select your own produce at the stands.

Happy to find my favorite farmers -- Tyson's Farm & Orchard -- are here. Spectacular peaches all summer and wonderful bicolor corn! They're also at Springfield on Saturdays and Kingstowne on Friday afternoons.

This farm market is open on Saturdays & Sundays -- check for their hours. They ask you to wear masks but won't prevent your attending without one, which I found worrisome; fortunately, everyone was masked!

Ate some yummy crepes there, cooked on the spot. My partner loved the "Hawaiian" and I loved the strawberries & ricotta.

Brought home some empanadas & a box of tasty alfajores.

Sadly, no butchers or eggs available.

Had some interesting-looking jewelry, which I'll happily peruse the next time. We arrived at 12:30 & they close at 1:00 on Sun. Also a bookseller/illustrator with the most charming prints!!

It was a beautiful day to be outside and everyone there seemed very cheery. I'll take...
