Farmers Markets Vendor Information

The Fairfax County Park Authority operates 10 farmers markets across Fairfax County, Va. Our farmers market program strives to increase access to local food, improve the health of Fairfax citizens, support local food producers and protect the environment. Join us and become a vendor in our markets! 

Do you qualify? 

  • Our markets are strictly producer-only, meaning you must grow, raise or make from scratch all products you sell. Distributors, re-selling or brokers are strictly prohibited. All produce grown, meat raised and other products made must be within 125 mile radius of Fairfax County. 
  • 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.
