Farmers markets offer more than just produce—they showcase the heart and soul of the community through local makers, bakers, and growers. From handcrafted pastries and fresh-picked vegetables to pet treats and pantry staples, these vendors are the reason farmers markets feel personal. Across Loudoun County, these small businesses bring quality, creativity, and a direct connection to what you eat—and who made it.
A fixture in Waterford, Paige’s Pit Stop is more than a farm stand—it’s a local hub for everything from seasonal fruits and veggies to fresh eggs, meats, and snacks. Shoppers come for the quality but stay for the warm welcome and wide variety. The stand also features baked goods, jams, and flowers, making it a convenient and cheerful stop for market-goers stocking up or just passing through.
Arno’s Pastry brings a touch of European flair to Loudoun’s farmers markets with elegant desserts made using French and Italian techniques.

Known for its produce stand on James Monroe Highway, Farmer John’s Market also pops up at local farmers markets with the same commitment to quality and freshness. Their fruits and vegetables are sourced with care—often picked just hours before hitting the stands. Whether it’s sweet corn, juicy peaches, or crisp greens, their offerings reflect the best of each season, straight from the field to your bag.
Chase Your Tail Bakery is a hit with the four-legged members of the family. This Leesburg-based pet bakery creates natural, preservative-free dog treats that are as wholesome as they are adorable. Available at local markets and their downtown storefront, the treats come in fun shapes and flavors that dogs love—plus, the ingredients list is short, clean, and tail-wag approved.
