Following up on our previous post about Farmers Markets in Loudoun County, we sent Scott Koval, Realtor and co-founder of the JS Realty Team, out to Brambleton this weekend to visit their Farmers Market. Scott enjoyed some local and fresh food, entertainment, and fun! Check out the video he made at the Brambleton Farmers Market, and don’t forget to subscribeto us onYouTube!
By now you’ve probably heard the terms “Eat Local” or “Buy Local”. It may even seem like a fad. But knowing where your food is from can connect you to the people who raise and grow it. Eating locally grown, seasonal, sustainable and organic foods is tastier and healthier for you and your family. Locally grown foods are fresher, and retain their healthy nutrients longer. Sustainable and organic foods protect your health and the environment. These foods are free of antibiotics, pesticides and other potentially dangerous chemicals. It also helps local and small family farmers stay in business and produces more jobs in our own community.
So now you want to try some of these local foods – but where do you find them? Lucky for us, Loudoun County has several farmers markets operating seasonally (and in some cases, year round!) that are probably closer to you than you think! Shopping at a farmers market can teach you how food is grown, who grew it, and why it tastes so good. They are also FREE and often have cooking demonstrations and kid friendly activities!
Check out the five Loudoun “Producer Only” farmers markets: Note: “Producer Only” means that the vendor must be the grower or producer of ALL the products they sell. They must produce within a 125 mile radius of Loudoun County.
