Farmer’s Market: Baltimore, Maryland

Markets | June 1, 2016 | By

It’s my favorite time of year:  farmer’s market season.  It’s a thing.  Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring, Farmer’s Market.

The Baltimore’s Farmer’s Market is certainly worth a visit.  It’s filled to the brim with seasonal fruits, vegetables, poultry, seafood, beef, pork, lamb, bison, goat, rabbit, fresh baked goods, flavorful herbs, organically produced milk, yogurt, butter, eggs, cheeses, flowers and vegetable seedlings for your garden.  It’s literally a cornucopia as far as farmer’s markets go.  To top this, there are numerous food vendors dotted throughout the market.  Pit beef sandwiches, omelets, breakfast burritos, crepes, wood-fired pizzas, pies, quiches, soups, noodles, dumplings and mushrooms (more on this later).  Vegan items are sold as well, which may not have been obvious yet…  Crafts, candles, organic dog treats, art, retro clothing, kombucha and kimchi.

The market is held on Sundays from 7:00 am – 12:00 pm between April – December.  Many Sundays also feature live music performances and cooking demonstrations.  The market is located below the Jones Falls Expressway at Holliday & Saratoga streets.
