The Best Farmers Markets in Arlington

Through all the bustle of daily Arlington life, it is easy to overlook something that has been here all along; a thriving network of Arlington farmers markets just outside your door. Fresh produce, artisan goods, cold drinks, and a genuine sense of community, all within a few miles of home. Whether you are in 22202, 22205, or 22207, or just passing through Northern Virginia this summer, here are the best farmers markets in Arlington, VA worth adding to your weekend rotation.

Eat Loco at Metropolitan Park — Pentagon City

Not a weekend person? The Eat Loco market at Metropolitan Park gives you a midweek option, open on Tuesdays in the heart of 22202. It is a natural lunch stop with a surprisingly diverse spread; local staples alongside international options ranging from Bolivian to East Indian cuisine. A stroll through the park with good food in hand is not a bad way to break up the workday.

FRESHFARM Arlington Farmers Market — Courthouse

This is the largest farmers market in the area, and one of the few that runs year-round. Every Saturday at the corner of N. Courthouse Road and 14th Street, you will find some of the best local produce around, along with coffee, fresh meat, and gelato when the temperatures climb. It is the kind of place where you can knock out your grocery run and support local vendors at the same time.

Field to Table Farmers Market — Westover

Westover's Sunday market on North McKinley Road is the kind of weekly ritual that quietly becomes a non-negotiable. Set up along a long stretch of tents in the heart of 22205, Field to Table brings together some of the freshest produce in the area. The market also runs deeper than just shopping. They participate in Westover Day, partner with the Arlington Food Assistance Center, and keep an event schedule worth bookmarking.

The Pike Farmers Market — Columbia Pike

The Pike Farmers Market has a little something for everyone. Tucked into Pike Park on Sunday mornings, neighbors from across the area use it as an excuse to catch up, grab something good, and support their community all at once. You will find baked goods, jellies and jams, dairy products, and Lunar Links hot dogs. Yes, that is a thing and yes, it is worth the trip.

Make the Most of Your Summer in Arlington

The best part about these markets is that what you bring home is only half the fun. Fresh peaches from the Pike, heirloom tomatoes from Westover, or a bundle of herbs from Courthouse, they all taste better when you know exactly where they came from.
