Feature Farmers: We welcome back Cats Paw Organic Farm with their many tomato varieties, lettuce varieties and delicious baked goods. We are also congratulating Roy & RT's Kitchen & Garden for their entry into our regular lineup of veggie farmers. They have many unusual ethnic veggies and items that no other farmers will have.

Red Chimney Farm is back this week with their beautiful flowers!



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. Our new match amount for the Outdoor season is up to $7 for each $7 spent at the market.



You won't see at market this week: Sweet Tease Bakery will be back sometime this Fall (we hope).

Important Notices:

Food safety notice: Due to a preponderance of evidence and our county's health department regulations, dogs are no longer welcome at the farmers market. We regret the loss but hope that our dog owning customers will forgive us for this change.

Important note about parking: only parallel parking is allowed on Maryland Ave (the road that passes under East-West Highway) -- please do not park in any other manner.

Got ideas for improvements? Talk to or email Jim Coleman and share your thoughts!  We can do it: change begins in Riverdale Park!
