There is enough space to maintain social distancing protocols in both the blueberry and blackberry sections. Although you can't pick peaches here, you can buy them fresh! Toddler and double stroller friendly. There's not a lot of signage. You'll want to stop at the market at the front to pay for your picking containers. If you keep driving (like we did!) your little ones will get to see more of the farm which is cool!

Plus the berries were delicious of course, as were the corn, watermelon, and tomatoes we bought at the farm stand and all really affordable! I'd recommend going at a slower time - we got there at about 10:00 on a Saturday and by 11:00 it started getting crowded. For the first hour it was easy to avoid other families, and get lost in picking out our berries, but when it got crowded it became a little harder, but not impossible to stay spaced out. Plus only 45 minutes from DC, it's a nice get-out-of-the-house, forget about COVID, and get-out-of-the-city activity, and you could even do it with friends you are distancing from and spread out while picking. And bonus - they plant and give to Maryland Food Bank. We plan on going regularly until the season ends, for sure.

When you get inside, you will see a plethora of different stores inside. My favorite is the meat market in the back. They always have the best quality meats that you could only get from a butcher. Their prices are on par with your local grocer. My little family loves the pretzel place in the front. Warning: this specific store only takes cash I always bring people here when they come to visit us.

So happy this Dutch farmers market is relatively close!

It may seem overwhelming at first, but it's actually easy to get around even when it's crowded. The lines are usually long, but they're very efficient. You grab a ticket to place your order, and things move quickly. Keep in mind there are extra charges for bags and card use. Cash is recommended, though cards are accepted at most stations (except the pretzel and ice cream lines). There is an ATM on-site. Note: The market is only open Thursday-Saturday, so plan ahead!

My sister, my granddaughter and I went out today to get our Christmas tree. After looking at a few…read moreother places and not finding any that we liked, we ended up at Chesapeakes Bounty in St. Leonard, MD. We parked, got out of the car and started looking at the trees. A gentleman came over (with a cute elf hat on) and he took the time to answer any questions that we had about the different trees. He showed us the area that had the size trees we were interested in getting. He told us to be careful as the ground was saturated from the melting snow. He was so kind to my granddaughter and even agreed to pose for a picture with her. The selection of trees was better the any we had seen elsewhere, it was clean and the trees were organized by size and price with plenty of room to walk around each tree. I told Will, the man that was helping us, that Chesapeake Bounty will be my go to not only for our yearly Christmas tree but all year round! Thank you for the Christmas cheer and Merry Christmas!!

Miller's has always been the best as far as I can remember out of the three.

Finally had a moment to make it over to this Saturday farmers market! It happens on Saturdays at…read morethe Marietta Mansion. Compared to others I've been to recently, it's definitely on the smaller side. I'd say there was about 5 food spots there, 2 other random popups (like body care), and then your go-to produce. Food options included some amazing brownies and cookies, a Thai food truck I'm very fond of, BBQ, and one or two others I feel like I'm forgetting. A DJ was spinning some awesome beats that really set the vibe. Parking can get a little tricky though -- it doesn't have to get too crowded before you're forced to park in the grass, and it gets a little hilly. The road is fairly small, so if there's one backup (like waiting for someone to move), a line of cars can easily form. All that to say, I'm quite glad I dropped by this market finally -- there are some hyperlocal awesome businesses to check out.

The woman who checked us out was an absolute delight, warm, funny, and exactly what you hope for at a local farm stand. Unfortunately my experience in the herb section was the opposite. When I asked about strawberry plants and was told they didn't have any, I mentioned I was a first time gardener and asked if she could recommend something beginner friendly. Her response was essentially "just pick something, all you have to do is water them." When I explained again that I was new and looking for guidance, she told me she couldn't help me. As a first time gardener trying to learn, that kind of dismissiveness was discouraging. If it weren't for the lovely woman at checkout, I likely wouldn't return. I ended up going to Ed's Plant World in Brandywine where the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful to a beginner. The difference was night and day. That said, I'm giving 4 stars because the place is really awesome in terms of selection and variety. The woman in the herb section may have just been having a bad day. It's absolutely worth checking out.
