Farmers Markets near Chestertown, MD

This Grasonville market runs Thursdays, 3:30 to 6 p.m., on Main Street through the spring-to-fall season. It's a small Eastern Shore stop for local produce, baked goods, and prepared foods rather than a large-vendor destination — worth a look if you're already passing through Grasonville on Route 18.

Perryville

The Perryville Farmers Market has run at Lower Ferry Park on Broad Street since 2013, drawing farm and craft vendors to a spot overlooking the Susquehanna River near Rodgers Tavern Museum. Saturday hours run 8:30 a.m. to noon, May through October, with homegrown produce and homemade goods filling the stalls. It's one of the few Cecil County markets with river views built into the shopping trip.

Bel Air

Marketplace on Main is Bel Air's producer-only farmers market, running Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon, April through November, with a shorter winter market in late November and December. More than 60 Harford County vendors sell only what they grow, raise, or make themselves — produce, non-GMO meat and eggs, baked goods, honey, and local beer and wine. The market has served the area since 1975.

Bel Air

Bel Air Farmers Market has run as a producer-only market since 1975 — everything on the tables is grown, raised, or made by the more than 60 Harford County vendors who show up, not resold. Saturdays, 8 a.m. to noon, in the parking lot next to the Mary Risteau building on South Bond Street. Fifty years running makes it one of the older markets in the state.

Baltimore

Set up in the Eastpoint Mall parking lot on Eastern Avenue in Baltimore, this market runs Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., from mid-June through October. It's a straightforward produce-and-goods market — fresh vegetables, organic items, crafts, and local specialties — and accepts WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits, making it one of the more accessible stops for shoppers using those programs on the east side of the city.

Dundalk

The Greater Dundalk Chamber of Commerce ran a seasonal farmers market at 44 Shipping Place for several years, offering the usual mix of fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and locally sourced items each spring through fall. The chamber announced it would not open the market this year, citing unforeseen circumstances, and thanked the vendors and shoppers who'd supported it. Check with the chamber directly before assuming this market is running.

North East

Cecil County Farmers' Market sets up on South Main Street in North East, Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., pairing area growers like Carlisle Produce and cheese with local crafters selling homemade goods. It's a small-town market walkable from the North East waterfront, running through the growing season with a loyal, regular crowd of vendors.

Denton

Held in the St. Luke's United Methodist Church lot on South Fifth Avenue, this Denton market runs Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., roughly June through mid-October. It's a modest, church-hosted market rather than a big vendor lineup — locally grown produce, fruit, and handcrafted goods, with WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits accepted. Call ahead to confirm a given week's setup before driving out.

Severna Park

Hydes

Good Life Thursday turns Boordy Vineyards' lawn in Hydes into a weekly market and hangout — local, organic produce and crafts starting at 4 p.m. every Thursday through the growing season, with live music and food running alongside it. It's less a grocery stop than an evening out that happens to include a farmers market, which fits a winery hosting it.

Annapolis

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources hosts this small market in the parking lot of its own Tawes State Office Building on Taylor Avenue in Annapolis, Thursday afternoons from June through early September. It's aimed at state employees and nearby residents rather than tourists — produce, eggs, milk, meat, and other farm goods sold straight from the growers. Call for this season's exact schedule.

Baltimore

Hamilton-Lauraville Main Street runs the Tuesday Market across Harford Road from the neighborhood Safeway, with a policy that everything sold must be homemade or locally grown. Regulars include Prigel's Family Creamery, Fetter's Fruit Farm, and Chef Mac's Louisiana Cuisine, plus live music most weeks. It functions as much as a neighborhood gathering as a shopping stop in this corner of northeast Baltimore.

This small Annapolis market sets up in the front parking lot of Clock Tower Place on Forest Drive, running Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m. through the summer. It's a low-key stop for produce and handcrafted goods from regional vendors — shoppers often grab what they need here, then walk over to Tastings Gourmet nearby for bread, cheese, and wine. No indoor stalls, no frills, just a parking-lot market locals fold into their Friday routine.

Annapolis

This market sets up on the Anne Arundel Medical Center campus in Annapolis, at Riva Road and Harry S. Truman Parkway, giving hospital staff, patients, and neighbors a produce stand without leaving the medical campus. It runs on weekends during the season, with local vendors rotating through — a hospital system building healthy-food access directly into its own parking lot.

Baltimore

Baltimore Food Hub operates out of 1801 East Oliver Street in East Baltimore. Its website returned a security certificate error at the time of research, so tenants and hours could not be confirmed — treat this listing as unverified until checked directly.

Baltimore

Baltimore

The BMI Farmers Market runs Saturdays from May through November on the waterfront grounds of the Baltimore Museum of Industry at 1415 Key Highway — roughly 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with produce and prepared-food stands set up alongside cut flowers, cheese, and baked goods. It shares the museum's Key Highway lot, so a market run doubles easily as a stop at the exhibits.

This Glen Burnie market sets up in front of Best Buy on Ritchie Highway, Thursdays from 4 to 7 p.m., running June through late September. More than 30 vendors turn out alongside live music, food trucks, and free ice cream giveaways — enough of a draw that the county extended its season. Call the county line for current details.

Baltimore

Govanstowne Farmers Market has run on York Road since 2011, Wednesdays from 3 to 6 p.m., June through November, backed jointly by Loyola University Maryland, the York Road Partnership, and the Govanstowne Business Association. It sells fresh vegetables, fruit, eggs, milk, and meat, and takes a wider range of payment than most small markets — cash, cards, EBT/Independence Cards, WIC, SFMNP, and FVC benefits all work here.

Baltimore

State Center Community Farmers' Market sets up on Preston Street in Baltimore with vendors including Calvert Farms, Valencia's Produce, and WestBrook Orchards selling fresh produce alongside stalls like Nuts to You and You and Me Soap Company. Many growers here emphasize chemical-free fruit and vegetables. It serves state office workers and residents around the State Center government complex.

Smyrna

Smyrna Farmers Market runs seasonally, June through October, at 106 W. Commerce St. in downtown Smyrna. Like most small Kent County markets, it centers on direct-from-the-grower produce and local artisan goods rather than a large vendor roster — check locally for the current week's lineup.

The Village of Cross Keys Farmers Market runs Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., June through October, in the shopping center's parking lot on Falls Road. Greenwood Farm and Anson Farm anchor the produce stalls, with Carol's Bakery, honey, apple butter, and pickles rounding out the food side, plus jewelry and container-gardening vendors. It draws a mostly North Baltimore crowd running errands during the week rather than a weekend destination trip.
