THIS WEEKEND! Opening Day + Egg Hunt

April 03, 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 4th & 5th
Our Egg Hunt has Finally Arrived!
This Saturday & Sunday meet at the market table at 10am at all markets! (Lubber Run, Cherrydale, and Westover) for this family friendly activity!
Inside the eggs there are prizes including VENDOR PRIZES, stickers, candy, and others!
If it is too rainy on Sunday, an announcement will be made through the newsletter and the Egg Hunt will be postponed.
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. In honor of 2 of our markets opening up this weekend, 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!

Coming to all Markets!
Given the success of the weekly scavenger hunt at Westover Farmers Market, we will be hosting weekly scavenger hunts at all of our markets!
Weekly Scavenger Hunt Activity!
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!
The weekly challenge will be posted in the newsletter and Instagram, which can be found, here!
