Either time the farm has a friendly team who will go out of their way to greet you and help. It has consistently been a great experience and there's always treasures to purchase. I recommend a visit to Zekiah Farms on days they are having and are not having an event. Both are great and don't forget to take a good look in the meat coolers to see what good stuff you can take with you. My haul included sweets, honey, and meats. This time.

We had stopped in because we were considering purchasing goats in the future. We are just a novice at this point.

We will be shopping there again in the near future. Craig & Cindy Jolly

Otherwise, please park on the street alongside the entrance and exit of the library. Over the past two years it has doubled in size and is now around 72-75 vendors so it is PACKED. Takes place every Saturday between 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM and the food trucks are there from 8:00 AM until 2:00 PM.

Leave it up to me to visit the Crofton Farmers Market at the end of summer! Le Sigh! I actually…read moredidn't know about the Farmers Market until I spotted one of my favorite dessert shops are vendors at this location. So what did I do, planned to go first thing Saturday morning! Located at the Crofton Library parking lot, parking for the Market is onsite - front and back parking lot options, street parking and the church across the street provides parking. Open at 8am - noon and food trucks until 2pm on Saturday's, I saw any and everything you could imagine. Farm fresh produce, pies, goats milk soap, freshly pressed juices, speciality cookies and cupcakes, and EMPANADAS! We were like kids in a candy store, so clearly everything I just listed, we purchased. All of the vendors we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The Farmers Market opens in May and closes for the season in November. My top 3 vendors, Sugar Butter Love, DMV Empanadas, and the Goats Milk Soap vendor - sorry can't remember their name. All had quality options to purchase. The Market has a website to check out the vendors that will be on display, as well as social media pages. I was impressed and will absolutely be back! Note to the wise, bring a reusable bag or two to collect your purchased items. I even brought an insulated bag for my hot/cold items.

The farm also has fresh vegetables, ciders, honey, jams, meat and other items available for purchase. The entry fee is $11 for those 2 and above which I think is reasonable. They also have ice cream(which they all loved), milkshakes, root beer floats and pulled pork sandwiches available for purchase. They have strawberry and blackberries for picking in the spring(will be back). The family was very friendly and informative. was friendly. My Grandkids had a ball.

There are lots of "pick your own" pumpkin farms in the DC Metro area. Some have autumn "fairs"…read morewith rides and all kinds of attractions, and others are basic, traditional spots where you can enjoy a bit of sunshine and a wander in the pumpkin patch. Y Worry Farm is definitely the second group. We went on a beautiful October day with our 3-year-old, and it was less than 30 minutes from downtown DC. We loved it: beautiful pumpkin patch, lots of folks but didn't feel crowded, a fun corn maze, and a real "farm stand" feel to it. Definitely recommended for folks with little kids who don't want the craziness of some other spots. No admission fee (for some other places this can be $25 per person!), so you don't feel like you need to stay for hours and hours, and everything was reasonably priced. Great family fun.

Down near the Annapolis harbor you can take in the visuals of the boats that are docked or sailing, people watching, the multitude of restaurants or shops. Or you can stop by this quaint little farmer's market just before you do all the the other things. Although small, this farmer's market has a small town appeal with just a few vendors, but I found them attentive, personable and and plain old nice. From Belle's Acres soap, balms, salves, and body washes to Karen Kay's table of cakes and other sweet treats with no sugar, calories, just LOVE as she tells it. So, stop on by this charming farmer's market on Sunday and leave with a SMILE.

Glory Hallelujah! FreshFarm has come to Annapolis! The folks who brought you the Dupont Circle…read moreFreshFarm market, along with several others, has opened a new location at the Annapolis harbor. We ran down this morning for the inaugural launch and they did not disappoint. Criteria for vendors at a Freshfarm Market include, that you must be located within the Chesapeake bay region and you may only sell what you have either grown or made yourself. With that said, there is a definite slant towards sustainable and organic product of high quality. Today's offerings included: Quail Creek Bakery, Cherry Glen Goat Cheese Co, Flower vendors, Springfield Lamb, Local produce featuring early tomatoes, mini cucumbers, herbs, sweet cherries, asparagus, strawberries and much more. We also scooped up a delicious homemade gazpacho and mushroom empanadas for later. Local favorite, Chef Jim Wilder of the Wild Orchid Cafe was on hand for food demonstrations. We watched as he prowled the market for his ingredients but were unable to stay. There is plenty of room for expansion and we have hopes that as the season progresses, even more vendors will join in. The market is open Sundays only, June 1 - October 5. 8AM - 12PM. If you live in the area and you are serious about food, then PLEASE don't miss this opportunity for yourself and for Anne Arundel County. www.hardypartyreview.blogspot.com

La Plata Farmers Market is a cute, small farmers market with a lot of neat items to purchase…read more I decided to pop in for my first visit recently and enjoyed it. While the market is on the small side, they maximize space and have quite a few vendors and plenty of parking. Despite being able to conduct a rather brisk walkthrough of the market, I was also able to pick up several items along the way before I headed to another market. Overall, if you're in the area this market is worth a visit. It's also worth considering if you're not in the area but keeping in mind that it's small would be prudent.

Came here in early May on the recommendation of some friends who live in the area. Since we were…read morevisiting La Plata, we figured we'd see what the locals recommend. Pretty respectable-sized establishment! There were a lot of vendors selling things that were not food/produce. I think I saw more people selling soaps, creams, and body butter than any other product. Great selection to choose from if that's what you're looking for. I ended up having a nice chat with one of the guys who had a nice variety of soaps both scented and unscented. Several vendors were selling potted plants. I imagine the produce stands are more represented in the peak of summer and fall. There were a few when we went (early May) selling some cabbages and other leafy greens as well as some apples and root veggies. At the one end of the parking lot were several trucks hawking food and drinks. I had been told to look for a donut truck, but none to be found the day we went. There was one selling coffees, another selling cold-pressed juices, and another selling pizzas. Bonus: there is a port-a-potty available to all. I've been to bigger markets without one and I think it's brilliant that one is available.

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.

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!
