Market
Opens May 8, 2010
In May, you’ll find fresh veggies at Northern Virginia ’s Number One farmers market, including include crisp asparagus, broccoli, spinach, and other spring greens. And, did we mention the sweet, juicy strawberries that we’ve all been missing!?
The Reston Farmers Market is now the place to come for the freshest baked goods including a tremendous array of breads, biscuits, scones, cookies, cakes, pies—everything you can imagine. We think we not only offer a great variety but also the best bakers anywhere: A Bit More; Baguette Republic , Grace’s Pastries and Valentine’s Country Bakery. There is also no better place to come for the widest selection of fresh meats. Our five fine meat vendors offer free range buffalo, beef, chicken, goat, lamb, pork, turkey, and an occasional rabbit. New this year will be a scrumptious array of ethnic sausages and soups.
What else could one find at the Reston Farmers Market at Lake Anne? How about fine goat and cow cheeses? Beautiful cut flowers and every plant and flower you can imagine for your garden! Virginia’s finest honey and honey products, too! And a morning of shopping at the number One market is not complete unless you get a bag of hot, delicious Kettle Corn and terrific ice cream with 100% organic butterfat and seasonal fruits mixed in the luscious cream!
As the spring moves on and we come to summer the amazing cornucopia grows and grows. Of course, everything at the Market is grown, baked or cooked locally guaranteeing freshness and products made with care on a human scale.. Music also makes the Reston Farmers Market a hit and we expect to have
Blue Grass and other music during the season.See you every Saturday, beginning May the 8th from
8:00 AM until 12 Noon at beautiful Lake
Anne Village Center
