This week, we are pleased to announce the first ever outdoor season
extension to Thursday, December 18 (*with November 27 off for Thanksgiving*).
We also have exciting plans coming for  the Winter Market starting in
January 2015.


Through the generous contributions from the Riverdale Park Town Council and
the facilitation of the Maryland State Farmers Market Association, the
Maryland Market Money program is up and running again. We will continue the
