For a delicious Thanksgiving, get your turkey and all the trimmings—pumpkin pies, potatoes, sweet potatoes and much more—at the Mount Vernon Farmers Market, held every Wednesday (including the day before Thanksgiving) from 8 a.m. to noon at the Sherwood Hall Regional Library, 2501 Sherwood Hall Lane. Both Honey Brook Farms and Valentine’s Bakery & Meats are taking orders now for locally raised turkeys.
For an appetizer or alternative to turkey, Arnest Seafood offers impeccably fresh fish, crab cakes, crab dip and more from the Chesapeake Bay. The market’s produce vendors—Laurel Grove Farms, Ochoa Produce and Three Way Farms—will have plenty of potatoes and vegetables, while Twin Springs Fruit Farm offers award-winning apples, cider, vegetables and more.
Stop by Grace’s Pastries, Great Harvest Bread Co. and Valentine’s Bakery & Meats for a variety of breads, rolls and pies for your Thanksgiving table. The Jammerie will be selling cranberry sauces while No. 1 Sons offers a variety of pickles, kimchi and more. Pick up herbs and spices for your feast at Sharkawi Farms’ stand. In addition to its farm-fresh milk, chocolate milk, cheese and ice cream (including pumpkin spice), Misty Meadow Farm Creamery is taking orders for pumpkin cheesecake.

The Mt. Vernon Farmers Market will be open every Wednesday through Dec. 18. It is one of 10 farmers markets run by the Fairfax County Park Authority. All of the Park Authority markets are strictly producer-only, meaning that all of the farmers and producers may only sell what they raise on their farms or make from scratch. All of the farmers and producers come from within a 125-mile radius of Fairfax County.
