Reston Farmers Market Convenient Source For Autumn Produce, Fruit

RESTON, VA — John Lovaas, who founded the Reston Farmers Market, wanted to remind Restonians that they didn't have to go far to get their seasonal produce such as gourds, apples and root crops.

It's also a convenient place to pick up pumpkins for a family's Halloween jack-o-lanterns.

Lovaas, who co-manages the market with his wife, Fran, sent some photos to Patch from a recent Saturday market. It was a little damp, but that didn't deter the market's 34 vendors from show up to sell their wares.

The Reston Farmers Market is open, rain or shine, every Saturday through Dec. 2, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., in the Lake Anne Village parking lot, located at 1609 Washington Plaza N. in Reston.

SNAP beneficiaries receive up to $20 match at the Reston Farmers Market.
