Reston Farmers Market

It's absolutely great! You can find anything there from fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers, to wonderful baked goods, and gourmet spreads. You can watch as fresh kettle corn is made in a gigantic copper kettle, enjoy the sights and sounds of Lake Anne, and the crafters/antiques market around the lake. This market has grown by leaps and bounds the past few years, thanks to a dedicated group of market volunteers and wonderful vendors. It is a weekend destination, not just an afterthought. My little boy looks foward to it all week long, and gets a "special cookie" (decorated as a football, or a leaf, or soccer ball, or something else seasonal) from one of the vendors every time we go. They know him by name, and even if he doesn't show it, it tickles him that they know who he is. It's like a big family.
