Who's in the strawberry patch with Sally, now that she's not picking them with me? Oh no, I don't care what they're doing there, 'neath the shade of the old apple tree. -Who's in the Strawberry Patch with Sally, Tony Orlando & Dawn
WHAT'S IN SEASON IN JUNE? We love June because it's truly the beginning of harvest season. In June, you may find locally grown Strawberries, Blueberries, Cherries, Raspberries & Apricots plus Asparagus, Beans, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Chard, Collards, Eggplant, Garlic, Herbs, Kale, Lettuces, Mushrooms, Onions, Peas, Radishes, Rhubarb, Potatoes, Spinach, Summer Squash, Turnips and Tomatoes. Early Corn may arrive in Late June in time for your 4th of July picnics! Many farms use high tunnels or green house environments in order to produce their crops early. We pride ourselves that our vendors are from within 50 miles of the market and they bring the best in Locally Grown and Produced farm-fresh foods to the market!

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Ina Garden's Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp courtesy of the Food Network! Ina Garten’s strawberry rhubarb crisp is a dish best served warm (and with a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream). The crispy crumble topping gives way to a warm, gooey fruity filling. What's that? Rhubarb, you say? Rhubarb is the fleshy, edible stalks of species and hybrids of Rheum in the family Polygonaceae, which are cooked and used for food. The whole plant – a herbaceous perennial growing from short, thick rhizomes – is also called rhubarb. Rhubarb is not especially rich in essential nutrients, and its calorie content is low. Learn more about the nutritional benefits of Rhubarb by visiting Healthline's article, Is Rhubarb Good for You? All You Need to Know. COVID 19 Updates: Our patrons may still place preorders for pick-up at the market during 2021. While the statewide mandates set by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan to mitigate COVID-19 have been relaxed and lifted, we request that everyone entering the market show respect for our community. Our patrons, vendors and farmers' market team appreciate it. We encourage social distancing, and hand washing/sanitation while on-site at the market. Our vendors who are serving samples and prepared food will still wear masks to protect the public; however, we leave the choice to you to mask up. Patience is appreciated as we navigate health and safety practices as we recover from uncertain times. As Spock would say, "Live Long and Prosper."
