Farmers Markets Vendor Information

The Fairfax County Park Authority operates 10 farmers markets across Fairfax County, Va.

  • We do not accept vendors that sell olives, chocolates or other non-local products. We make an exception for locally roasted coffee.
  • We do not accept any craft vendors or food trucks.
