Full-season vendor applications for the 2026 season have closed. However, vendors may still apply for the pop-up program. Pop-up vendor applications open July 1 at 8 a.m. and close July 10 at 5 p.m.
Pop-up vendors must comply with all full-season vendor requirements, including liability insurance, TFE permits and food safety certificates. More information is available in the 2026 Vendor Handbook.
The pop-up fee is $35 per market day. Vendors will be billed at least seven days before their pop-up date, and payment must be received before participating in the market. No refunds or date transfers will be issued once pop-up dates are confirmed.
Participation is at the discretion of the Farmers Market managers and Farmers Market coordinator.
Pop-up availability is based on each market’s needs, available space and regular-season vendor schedules. Pop-up opportunities are not guaranteed.
Pop-up vendors are allowed one 10-by-10-foot space unless otherwise approved.
Effective January 1, 2026, Fairfax County will begin levying a tax on the purchase of all prepared food and beverages sold as a meal. The Food and Beverage Tax is 4% of the total cost of food and beverages sold by restaurants, caterers, or other designated establishments defined as a restaurant in the Code of Virginia § 35.1-1 and includes vendors at farmers markets selling ready-to-eat prepared and/or hot food.
