Cox Farms in Centreville Seeks Anti-Trump Messages for Roadside Marquee

Cox Farms, a staple of Fairfax County’s fall festivities, has sparked conversations once again – not for its famous pumpkin patch, but for the witty political messages it displays on its roadside marquee. The farm, known for taking a clear stance against President-Elect Donald Trump, has become a local landmark for seasonal fun and its outspoken signage.

The popular Centreville farm, which recently wrapped up its fall season on November 5, is seeking input from the community to help keep its marquee fresh with new anti-Trump messages. Known as a “Never Trump” farm, Cox Farms’ previous signs have included statements like, “OMG SO EMBARRASSING,” “EW CRINGE,” “WE NEVER LIKED HIM,” and “WE’RE NOT MAD, WE’RE DISAPPOINTED (AND AFRAID).”

The farm’s owners say the signs, displayed along a busy road in Northern Virginia, are intended to make a statement and engage with like-minded community members. “We actually are mad,” they wrote in a recent post, clarifying their commitment to maintaining a “Never Trump” stance. Although the signs already make bold statements, the farm frequently rotates messages and invites the public to suggest new ideas.

The request comes as Cox Farms closes its doors for the winter season, typically from the end of April to early November. During the off-season, the farm uses its marquee to reach commuters with messages that, according to staff, serve as “yelling into the void that is NoVa traffic.”

While reactions to the signs vary, the farm’s online following has grown, with many supporters cheering on their stance and providing feedback. However, some community members have expressed disapproval, leading to heated discussions online. For Cox Farms, this blend of engagement is part of their brand’s identity.

Those interested in pitching a fresh anti-Trump sign idea can leave comments on the farm’s social media channels. With the next seasonal opening months away, there’s ample time for creativity. The farm has encouraged contributors to keep ideas clever and family-friendly while using all caps for maximum roadside impact.

Cox Farms’ political messaging has now become an off-season tradition almost as popular as their fall festival itself, drawing attention from Fairfax County residents and Northern Virginia as a whole.
