Community Visitors at the Market 👀 + Ramp Pesto Recipe!
April 18th & 19th
Charlotte Terry
April 17, 2026
Field to Table hosts four local farmers markets in the Arlington, Virginia area that provide goods grown, harvested, or produced within 125 miles of the markets. We are committed to providing fresh, high-quality products while facilitating a welcoming community atmosphere.
For the Weekend of April 18th & 19th
Weekly Scavenger Hunt Activity!
At all markets!
Each week, we post a challenge for you all to find chalk drawings of fruits or veggies scattered around the market. Find all of them, and come to the market table for a stamp on your punch card (provided there). Once you get 6 stamps (you get one per week), you get a prize!
Weekly Vendor Spotlight:
If you all have been following our winter newsletter posts, you know that we spotlight a vendor each week to tell you a bit about their story & what they sell. Given that two of our markets just reopened and our Spring-Fall vendors have returned to Westover our weekly vendors spotlight is…
💖 All of our Vendors! 💖
Our vendors work tirelessly each weekend (and week) to provide our community with fresh, local, seasonal food produced mindfully and brought straight to our neighborhoods. We have many new and returning vendors for the summer season and we invite you all to try shopping with a vendor you haven’t before!
If you do, we would love to know about it! Tag our farmers market accounts @westoverfarmersmarket, @cherrydalefarmersmarket, @lubberrunfm to be reposted!
