The Farmers Market is a great place to catch up with neighbors, support local artists and stock up on fresh eats for the week. You’re not limited to fruits and veggies, either. You’ll find meat, eggs, pastries, flowers, honey and more all right here. Don’t forget to bring a cloth bag or two. They’re much easier to transport your goodies home with and have a much smaller environmental impact.

The Fredericksburg Farmers Market hosts several great family-friendly events throughout the year like The Kid’s Market, Art In The Park, Community Day, Harvest Festival, and more.

Not close to town? Don’t worry. There are Farmers Markets in Spotsylvania County and Stafford County, too! No matter where you live, be sure to follow your favorite Farmers Markets on whichever social media platform they use. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are all solid bets and you’ll find up-to-date news on openings, closings, events, and even facts about vendors.
