National Farmers Market Week: Support Arlington Market Vendors

ARLINGTON, VA — The first week of August marks National Farmers Market Week, and there's no better time to visit Arlington Farmers Markets and support local producers.

Customers visiting the 10 Arlington Farmers Market are going to find the same produce, fruit, plants, and flowers that you'd find at other markets around the region.

This year, National Farmers Market Week from Aug. 1 to 7 celebrates the resiliency of farmers markets during the COVID-19 pandemic. Amid challenges with conventional food supply chains at the start of the pandemic, farmers markets stepped up to meet a growing interest in local foods. Markets adapted to restrictions with social distancing, regulating traffic flow, advance ordering systems and more for the safety of vendors and shoppers.

COVID-19: Face coverings are required for all Arlington Farmers Markets' vendors and staff who are not fully vaccinated. Face coverings are also encouraged for shoppers. Some of the markets' vendors offer preordered sales. Check each market's website for more details.
