With the crisp, fall weather approaching, there is no better time to spend time outside to enjoy the last bits of warm sunshine before winter appears. The cool breezes and autumn air make Saturdays outdoors enjoying the cooler weather ideal, just like enjoying the harvest season. If you are wanting to spend time outside and support local farmers, bakers, and crafters, the Fredericksburg Framer’s Market is the perfect place for you. Shopping locally and buying fresh produce can be a fun family outing or a nice morning spent with friends.
