"I gave my love a cherry that had no stone; gave my love a chicken that had no bone.
I gave my love a baby with no crying, And told my love a story that had no end."

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! ​ Sautéed Chicken with Fresh Blueberry Sauce from My Recipes.com. Fresh blueberries are as much a part of summer as corn on the cob. Bake them in pies and muffins, or try them in a sweet and tangy sauce for chicken. Find your ingredients - including chicken, blueberries and dry white wine - at the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market this Wednesday! 

Did you know? Blueberries are native to North America, and the highbush varieties were not introduced into Europe until the 1930s. Hailed as a "superfood,"  blueberries are an excellent source of dietary fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese, iron, and a number of antioxidants. Learn more by reading this article from, Just Fun Facts,  Interesting facts about blueberries.


​​Be sure to visit all of our amazing farmers and producers as listed above, and cool your core with a Jessica's Snowball while you're at the Market this Wednesday! Jessica would like you to know that Corn Crib Honey Co.'s mobile store will be set up next to her snowball stand on the following dates: June 23, July 21, August 25 and September 8. ​

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." That's what we want for you, so come Buy Local and Eat Fresh and Healthy, and spend time outside with us at the 2021 Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market!
