The rolling vineyard setting makes it more destination than errand.

Damascus

Run out of the Damascus FFA grounds on Ridge Road, this Saturday market (9 a.m. to noon) leans on a rotating lineup of small local sellers — Anam Cara Egg Farm for eggs, Pheasant Hill Farm and Willowponds Hydroponics for produce, and home-based vendors like CC Hsu selling jams, jellies, and baked goods. It's a modest, FFA-organized market rather than a big-production event, built around the same families showing up week to week.

Stone Ridge

This small market is listed at 24600 Millstream Drive, Suite 470, in Stone Ridge, a planned community in Loudoun County's fast-growing suburbs southwest of Dulles. The suite address suggests a market organized by or alongside a local wellness business rather than a large public square. Loudoun's farm belt lies just west, supplying regional produce. Given the limited footprint, confirm whether and when it operates before visiting.

Rockville

Rockville

Milk Lady Markets runs this Saturday market (9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May through October) in the lot outside Neighborhood Church of Rockville on Redland Road.

Established in 2018, it runs rain or shine, no weather cancellations.

Rockville

Rockville

This Wednesday market ran outside Dawson's Market, the specialty grocer on North Washington Street in downtown Rockville, from May through September — produce, gourmet cheese, baked goods, meat, and seafood pulled partly from the store's own local sourcing. Dawson's Market closed permanently in June 2024 after twelve years, and there's no indication the outdoor market has continued under a different host. Anyone updating this listing should confirm whether it still runs at all.

Lovettsville's market sits on South Berlin Pike in far northern Loudoun County, the old "German Settlement" between the Potomac and the Maryland and West Virginia lines.

Oakton

A Smart Markets location on Hunter Mill Road in Oakton, a wooded pocket of Fairfax County between Vienna and Reston.

McLean

This Smart Markets location set up on Westpark Drive in Tysons, the high-rise office and retail district within McLean in Fairfax County. Part of the Smart Markets network of Northern Virginia producer markets, it gave Tysons workers and nearby residents a place to buy regional produce and farm goods amid one of the region's largest job centers.

Frederick

This Frederick market runs a single day a week — Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. — at 1215 West Patrick Street, and closes the rest of the week.

Call ahead with questions before making the trip.
