Farmers Markets near Mount Airy, MD

Mount Airy

Mount Airy's Farmers Market sets up Wednesdays from 3 to 7 p.m., June through September, near the town's historic train station on North Main Street. Local vendors sell produce, honey, eggs, meats, baked goods, and handmade jewelry, with live entertainment most weeks. The market is organized by the Town of Mount Airy rather than a private vendor group.

Damascus

Run out of the Damascus FFA grounds on Ridge Road, this Saturday market (9 a.m. to noon) leans on a rotating lineup of small local sellers — Anam Cara Egg Farm for eggs, Pheasant Hill Farm and Willowponds Hydroponics for produce, and home-based vendors like CC Hsu selling jams, jellies, and baked goods. It's a modest, FFA-organized market rather than a big-production event, built around the same families showing up week to week.

Sykesville

Frederick

Montgomery Village

Montgomery Village's farmers market sets up Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of Christ the Servant Lutheran Church on Centerway Road. Vendors including Abundant Grace Farm, Canela Bakery, and Holy Crepes sell produce and prepared foods to the surrounding community. The market was built specifically to give this planned community a weekly gathering point, not just a shopping stop.

Germantown

The Upcounty Hub is a farmers market at 12900 Middlebrook Road in Germantown, serving Montgomery County's upcounty communities north of the I-270 corridor. No independent website or social page was found to confirm current market days or vendor list.

Westminster

Carroll County Farmers Market is the oldest running market in the county and the second-oldest in Maryland, set up at the Agriculture Center on Agriculture Center Drive in Westminster. On a full Saturday it can pull 75 to 100 vendors selling seasonal produce, pasture-raised meat, local eggs, honey, jams, and baked goods — big enough to function as the county's default grocery run in season.

Gaithersburg

This farmers market runs only during the Great Frederick Fair itself — nine days in September, with 2026 dates set for September 18 through 26 — on the fairgrounds at East Patrick Street. Expect fresh produce, baked goods, flowers, and artisan products sold alongside the fair's livestock shows and midway. It's tied to one of the state's largest county fairs, whose Facebook following runs close to 50,000.

Olney

Rockville

Milk Lady Markets runs this Saturday market (9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May through October) in the lot outside Neighborhood Church of Rockville on Redland Road. Vendors sell farm produce and meats alongside breakfast tacos, croissants, quiches, honey, jams, coffee, and local artwork — more of a full breakfast stop than a bare produce stand. Established in 2018, it runs rain or shine, no weather cancellations.

This farmers market operates on the grounds of Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard in Dickerson, about 30 minutes from the Capital Beltway. Local growers sell seasonal fruit, vegetables, baked goods, and flowers spring through fall, giving winery visitors a stop for fresh food alongside the estate's Bordeaux-style wines. The rolling vineyard setting makes it more destination than errand.

Westminster

Frederick

The YMCA of Frederick County hosts a farmers market on North Market Street downtown, running Wednesdays from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., May through October. Produce, baked goods, wine, jewelry, and popcorn vendors fill the lineup, and the market doubles SNAP/EBT benefits up to $20 a day for qualifying shoppers. It sits inside the same downtown grid as Frederick's shops and restaurants rather than a standalone lot.

Frederick

Frederick City Market runs Sundays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., through late November, with free parking on Sundays including a small lot next to the market. It moved in 2025 from its long-time North Market Street corner to a new spot up the block at 662 N. Market St. — worth double-checking the address before a visit. Expect a mix of produce, artisan goods, and handmade crafts from local vendors.

Gaithersburg's Main Street Farmers Market runs year-round, Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Main Street Pavilion.

Rockville

Taneytown

Taneytown's farmers market brings together Carroll County growers like Natural Key Farm, Brennan's Produce, and Langelo Farms along East Baltimore Street, with Stone House Bakery among the regular prepared-food vendors. Listed locations have shifted in recent years between Baltimore Street, Memorial Park, and a parking lot on Old Taneytown Pike, so confirm the current site before visiting.

Frederick

Rockville

This Wednesday market ran outside Dawson's Market, the specialty grocer on North Washington Street in downtown Rockville, from May through September — produce, gourmet cheese, baked goods, meat, and seafood pulled partly from the store's own local sourcing. Dawson's Market closed permanently in June 2024 after twelve years, and there's no indication the outdoor market has continued under a different host. Anyone updating this listing should confirm whether it still runs at all.

Silver Spring

Oak Chapel United Ministries runs a food hub at 14500 Layhill Road in Silver Spring, connecting the church's ministry work to fresh food access for the surrounding Montgomery County neighborhood. No independent website or social page was found to confirm current distribution days or hours.

Frederick

This Frederick market runs a single day a week — Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. — at 1215 West Patrick Street, and closes the rest of the week. It's built as a traditional cooperative, meaning the vendors themselves run the show rather than a hired promoter, selling produce, baked goods, artisanal foods, and handmade crafts. Call ahead with questions before making the trip.

North Potomac

Fulton

The original Maple Lawn Farmers Market at 7405 Maple Lawn Boulevard has closed permanently, according to its own Facebook page. A successor, the Fulton Farmers Market, now runs nearby on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., April through November, selling seasonal produce and prepared foods. Shoppers headed to this address should confirm the current market location before visiting.

Ellicott City

Howard County runs this producer-only market at the Miller Branch Library on Frederick Road, Wednesdays from 2 to 6 p.m., May through October. Every vendor here sells what they've grown or made themselves — produce, pantry goods, flowers, baked goods, and local drinks, no resellers. Call the county line for this season's vendor list or weather closures.

Columbia

Frederick

Hosted at Grace Community Church on Old National Pike in Frederick, this seasonal market runs spring through fall with fresh fruit, vegetables, baked goods, flowers, and craft items from area vendors. Listed hours vary by source, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm which day the market runs before making the trip.

This East Columbia market runs Sundays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., spring through fall, at 6600 Cradlerock Way — part of the same county-run system as the Ellicott City market on the other side of Howard County. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, flowers, and artisan goods; some offer pesticide-free options, though it's worth asking individual sellers directly since not all are certified organic.

Kensington

Briggs Chaney-Greencastle Farmers and Artisans Market runs out of the Fairland-area location on Briggs Chaney Road in Silver Spring, pairing local produce with handcrafted goods in what's now billed as an indoor, community-hub setup. It draws a mixed crowd — families doing a weekly shop and browsers there for the artisans as much as the food.

Ellicott City

Ellicott City's Old Town Market sets up in Tiber Park on Main Street, Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through the spring-to-fall season. Vendors sell seasonal produce, mushrooms, meat, dairy, baked goods, flowers, and artisan crafts, with most stalls taking cash and card and some accepting SNAP, EBT, FMNP, or WIC. It sits in the middle of Ellicott City's historic Main Street shopping strip, an easy add-on to a day downtown.

Emmitsburg

Emmitsburg's market has run Fridays, 3 to 6:30 p.m., from late June through mid-October on South Seton Avenue, selling organic food, local specialties, vegetables, fruit, and crafts, with WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits accepted. The town closed out its most recent season and is rebuilding the event for 2026 under a new name, Emmitsburg Fun, Farm and Family Day. Contact the town's market coordinator for the new format.

Hampstead

Hampstead's market runs Saturdays, 8:30 a.m. to noon, June through September, in the parking lot at Coppermine Pantherplex — the former North Carroll High School building on Panther Drive.

The Owings Mills Farmers Market sets up at the Jewish Community Center on Gwynnbrook Avenue, with a Wednesday evening market from 3 to 7 p.m. running June through October and a Sunday market from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. earlier in the season. Now in its sixth consecutive year, it draws local farms and vendors selling produce, baked goods, jams, and honey.

This Saturday market runs at 518 Goldsmith Lane in Great Falls, a wooded Fairfax County community near the Potomac in Northern Virginia.

Montgomery Farm Women's Cooperative Market has operated on Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda since 1932, making it one of the oldest continuously running markets in the region. Indoors, vendors like Mullinix Meats and Bakery St. Michel sell fresh meat, seafood, cheese, and baked goods; outdoors, farmers set up produce and flower stands several days a week. The market predates the Bethesda commercial district that now surrounds it.

The Great Falls Farmers Market runs every Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., year-round in the Walker Road parking lot in Great Falls, a semi-rural, affluent corner of Fairfax County near the Potomac. The outdoor market brings together regional growers and food producers each week. Its name nods to the falls of the Potomac at nearby Great Falls Park.

Savage

Vendors including Zahradka Family Farm, Metro Microgreens, and Hexed Honey Farm sell locally grown produce, honey, and handmade goods, and the market accepts SNAP/EBT with matching funds through Maryland's Money Market program.

Shoppers can also pre-order for pickup through the Foraged app.

The Cascades Farmers Market sets up at the senior center lot in the Cascades area of Sterling, in eastern Loudoun County. Loudoun holds one of Northern Virginia's most active farm belts, so seasonal markets here draw vegetables, orchard fruit, meats, and baked goods from county growers.

Beltsville

Crossroads Farmers Market has run every Wednesday, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at Anne Street and University Boulevard East since 2007 — one of the longest-running markets serving Takoma Park's Langley Park corridor, home to a large immigrant community. Every vendor grows or processes what they sell within 125 miles of Takoma Park. The nonprofit behind it, Crossroads Community Food Network, built the market around a choice-based model meant to make fresh food affordable for low-income shoppers.
