How long have you been at the Reston Farmers Market? Since it started, about 14 years ago.
What do you sell? We sell everything from asparagus to zucchini, A - Z. We raise everything under the sun having to do with agriculture. We begin the markets with garden starts, then slowly get into fruits and vegetables and finish the markets with pumpkins, apple butters and apples.

What’s your story? I’m a third-generation farmer. I used to get dropped off at my grandmother’s during the summer, and fell in love with it. I realized that this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. The family farms 600 acres. I farm 180 acres with my father. We have 200 acres of apples and peaches alone.
