Juliette, 5, helps her mom, Samantha pick out the berries at the McLean Farmers Market Photo by Mercia Hobson.
The McLean Farmers Market is one of 10 markets across Fairfax County that Fairfax County operates under its Park Authority. Each is different and has a distinct personality and community that it serves.
"I think what people like a lot about the McLean Farmers Market is that it is in Lewisville Park, in a treed area that feels like a park," said Caroline Hockenberry, Farmers Market Coordinator for Fairfax County Park Authority, on May 17 while she oversaw the day's event. "You are in this very serene setting."
The McLean Market is open Fridays from 8 a.m. to noon through November 11. It features 16 vendors who offer fresh veggies, ripe fruit, savory bread, coffee, plants, and much more.
