Falls Church Farmers Market

Falls Church Farmers Market combines a deep Saturday vendor lineup with SNAP/EBT and Virginia Fresh Match, a pairing that can shape how households plan their weekly shopping here. The market is held in the City Hall parking lot at 300 Park Avenue and runs year-round on Saturdays, with one set of hours from April to December and a later winter opening from January to March. With a stated roster of 50 vendors, the mix stretches from orchards, produce farms, and meats to bakeries, coffee, seafood, mushrooms, kombucha, and prepared foods.

Why it matters locally

SNAP/EBT benefits and Virginia Fresh Match are accepted with certain vendors at Falls Church Farmers Market, which makes the market part of the city’s food-access infrastructure as well as its weekly shopping routine. The setting is also unusually civic: the market is held in the City Hall parking lot at 300 Park Avenue, placing it directly within downtown municipal space rather than on a temporary side street site. During the regular season, Fairfax County Master Gardeners are welcomed every week, adding a recurring educational presence alongside produce and food vendors. The city’s Recreation & Parks Department also helps offer Fit at the Farmers Market classes, extending the market’s role beyond shopping alone.

What you'll find there

The strongest impression here is breadth: a 50-vendor market where farms, orchards, dairies, bakers, beverage makers, and hot-food sellers all appear on the same Saturday roster. The lineup reads like a full-shop market rather than a produce-only stop, with familiar staples alongside specialty vendors and ready-to-eat options.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, a rule that can affect Saturday plans if you usually combine errands with a pet walk. The market is held in the City Hall parking lot at 300 Park Avenue, so parking is tied directly to that municipal lot rather than a separate field or park site. Hours shift by season: Saturdays run 8 a.m. to noon from April to December and 9 a.m. to noon from January to March. Jennifer Brady is the market manager and the contact for further information, including Fit at the Farmers Market class hosting.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted at the market, and Virginia Fresh Match is accepted with certain vendors, giving eligible shoppers another way to use food benefits here. The market also notes clear payment methods, which helps when you are planning purchases across farms, bakeries, and prepared-food stands.
