Feature News: 

Sorry, Roy & Rt's Kitchen & Garden

Our favorite urban farm, ECO City Farms, is back every week from here on out. We're glad to have their great crops, positive people, and presence back for the long term.

 

Maryland Market Money is back on with a maximum $5 per week match on WIC & SNAP purchases. 

 

We are offering a new option for local businesspeople that complement our food options. One local business per week will be offered a slot at the farmers market to offer services and goods that the market doesn't offer for $25 per week. We suggest once a month attendance. If you're interested, please contact us. 

 

Our music entertainer this week will be: White Port Wine, Americana roots music from College Park.
