The Old Town Farmers’ Market is the oldest farmers’ market in the country held continuously at the same site. George Washington sent his produce from Mount Vernon to be sold at this Farmers’ Market. Today, the market offers residents and visitors to Alexandria, VA, a way to reconnect to the past while participating in an ongoing local and national tradition. During the peak season, there are more than 70 vendors offering fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry, cheeses, breads, pastries, fresh pasta, pickled vegetables, cut flowers, potted plants, soaps, jewelry, and art.
All of Alexandria’s Farmers’ Markets are also compost drop off points for City of Alexandria residents.
