Oakton market featured in the Washington Post

Our Oakton market was featured in a Washington Post article that surveyed year-round farmers’ markets in the area.

Many vendors at the winter markets were new to the scene. When Thomas Venable lost his job as a graphic designer last year, he launched TommyV’s, a line of salsas (eight ounces, $5) at the Oakton Smart Market on Saturdays. Also at Oakton was Kathy Huff, who shut down her bricks-and-mortar coffeehouse last fall and began roasting her beans, called Sommo, in Reston (11 ounces, $9.95); and Dilek Kaygusuz, who hawks Turkish prepared foods such as tahini and yogurt dip (eight ounces, $3) and baklava ($1 per piece) under the brand Sofra.

Check out the full article here. There’s also an interactive map of all the markets. Come visit us in Oakton!
