by the readers of Northern Virginia Magazine  

The Reston Farmers Market Opened May 10
The Reston Farmers Market opened its eleventh season on Saturday, May 10 at 8:00 AM at its usual location, Lake Anne Village, North Shore Drive. The Market will be open from 8 AM until 12 noon every Saturday morning from May 10 through November 1^st.

This year, the Reston Farmers Market, which was recently named the best farmers market in all of Northern Virginia, will feature 28 vendors, including 24 favorites from prior years plus four new ones. The freshest fruits, vegetables and baked goods along with fresh beef, pork, lamb, goat, dairy products and, of course, buffalo will all be there. And, the new vendors are: Cherry Glen Farm featuring a variety of fresh goat cheeses; Veggielicious Cookies and Cakes featuring all veggie treats; the Crackpot Gourmet offering jams, jellies, chutneys, and marmalades you may never have seen; and, Bees and Blossoms featuring real honey and bee products!

The market is managed by community volunteers co-Market Masters John and Fran Lovaas. All the vendors grow or produce what they sell and do so within a radius of 125 miles of Reston in order to qualify as fresh, local produce.
