This fall, Fairfax Park Authority farmers markets are hosting a fresh food drive to support communities. Residents can help local farmers by purchasing extra fresh produce at the farmers markets and donate to a Fairfax food pantry serving neighbors in need of food assistance. Donations can be dropped off at the information tent at any market location. The Farmers Market Fresh Food Drive program runs once a month at each Fairfax market through the end of November. Reston Farmers Market dates are Sept. 28, Oct. 26, and Nov. 30.
Start by grabbing a free, reusable basket at the market information tent at the Reston Farmers Market at Lake Anne, then fill it to the top with fresh produce as you shop. Once your basket is full, bring it back to the tent, donate the produce, and the basket is yours to keep!
