Burke Farmers Market Opens For 2021 Season This Week

BURKE, VA — The Burke Farmers Market will be one of three park-authority run farmers market opening for the 2021 season in April.

The farmers market will operate Saturdays from April 10 to Dec. 18 from 8 a.m. to noon. The location is unchanged: the VRE parking lot at 5671 Roberts Parkway in Burke.

Shoppers will find fresh produce, baked goods, meats and more at the farmers market. It is open to only vendors that grow or produce from everything from scratch to sell at the market.

COVID-19 health requirements will continue to protect customers, market staff and volunteers. Groups of shoppers will be limited to four people, and face masks are required for everyone over age 2. People should maintain six feet of distancing from other customers, vendors and market managers. Customers may not touch items, as vendors will bag all purchases. Anyone with symptoms of illness is asked to stay home. Online sales and contactless payments with credit or debit cards are encouraged.

Other markets opening in April include the McCutcheon/Mount Vernon Farmers Market on April 22 and Herndon Farmers Market on April 22. The Fairfax County Park Authority's other farmers markets will open in May.
