This is a small farmers market. If you hit this market on Saturday & the one in Columbia on Sunday…read moreor even Jennie's in New Friendship, and breeze by Franks produce, you'll have everything that you need. So about this market... do not come on any empty stomach. You will buy everything. That's what happened to me. I don't regret it and I'd do it again. I literally went from table to table and purchased. From the cookies, to the flowers, the puffin jars, the handmade jewelry, the salmon candy, the crystals, the freeze dried candy, pastries, the coffee, donuts, the veggies, the microgreens, & the breakfast stand with the fresh juice. It's not too busy and there's plenty of parking. All they need is a grill stand, bakery items, some tables/chairs, tshirts, face painting, music, a bounce house and it would be a party. I will add this to my Saturday routine.

We browsed every vendor's wares and she bought a LOT. Everything from jewelry to apples, fancy yeast rolls to the salmon, and an adorable and very useful bowl cozy* found their way into our cloth bags. *Ever heated something in your microwave, only to have the bowl get too hot to handle? You need one of these! It's microwave safe and does a better job than potholders! We enjoyed our visit so much, we plan to go every Saturday through their final one the first week of October.

I just love this spot. I've been coming here over the years to get my fill of Pennsylvania Dutch…read moretreats, which allows me to get from DC without having to drive all the way to Pennsylvania. This spot has so many wonderful food stands. Upon walking in, you can pick up a cart to explore all of the stands. My kids love this place as much as me since you can find so much variety. Our first stop is the very busy Amish soft pretzel stand. My kids love the standard soft pretzel dipped in melted butter and topped with rock salt. My personal favorite are the stuffed soft pretzels like the pretzels stuffed with roast beef and cooper sharp cheddar. Nothing tastes better! There are also many other stands that offer fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. I particularly like Bieler's Donuts, the same place you'll find packed lines in Philadelphia right here. It's such a fun place and my kids love it. But most importantly, this is dad's spot!

In the most visually-exciting sequence of Director/Writer Jalmari Helander's 2025 film Sisu: Road…read moreto Revenge, three Soviet Ilyushin II-2 Shturmovik ground-attack planes attempt to bring down the KraZ-214 armored, military-transport truck driven by the hero who single-handedly turned the tide for the Finns in the earlier film and in the sequel, set in 1946. Using his wits, his ingenuity, and unparalleled levels of skill and perseverance, Aatami Korpi, who earns the moniker of "the man who cannot die," escapes not just bombs and machine gun fire but a plane deployed as a missile. And yet, the most moving moment of the film is not found in one of its many arresting action sequences but in a single line of dialogue, spoken by one of six Finnish men, who, along with one teenager and one boy, carrying hatchets, axes, and tools, interrupts the battle-finished Korpi's work on his new home to ask in Finnish, subtitled in English, "We thought you might need some help?" Speechless and shaking with relief and joy, Korpi watches the strangers get to work on his roof, walls, and foundation. That level of kindness, assistance, delight, joy, skill, and service can be seen in every vendor at the Dutch Country Market Thursdays through Saturdays at 9701 Fort Meade Rd in Laurel, MD. Whether it is homemade pretzels, pasta salads, chili, produce, meats, cheeses, popcorn, donuts, or varieties of dark chocolate, candy, or fudge you seek, you will find plenty to whet your appetite. Mind you, most, if not all, of everything contains zero preservatives. Our advice is to buy what you can enjoy soon or share your purchases with company before it's too late.

My husband always picks up chicken Chesapeake sausage when available. There is an ice cream case and a refrigerator case with yoghurt and other dairy products. My neighbor mentioned she was looking for raw milk to make cheese and we think they carry it along with fresh eggs. We always go to pick up bread and sausage and end up with two grocery bags full of irresistible items.

Small but really nice. About 6-7 vendors selling a nice variety of veggies, fruits, flowers, meats, baked goods, and one selling cooked something-or-other for a meal to eat there. We will definitely be coming here again! Most of the items *we think* are locally-grown, but cannot absolutely verify this. Considering the pandemic and the physical distancing we all have to abide by, everyone was doing a really nice job, both sellers and customers. Definitely worth 5 stars!!

My search brought me to Gorman farm, which is very close to my home. I arrived to the farm to find beautiful expensive berries that were pick that day. I hesitated to buy them, but I was excited. I got them home to find fragile berries underneath the top berries. Quite a few berries had to be thrown out. Whether they were moldy or were home to bugs/slugs. I ended up cutting a lot away from the berries, trying to savage them. I am not sure I will give them another try pre-pick is $4/pint, $8/ quart, or self pick sign said $6/lb. Pretty steep!

If you live near Laurel, Columbia or Savage (or commute up Rte 29 into Howard County), then you…read moreshould buy vegetables at Gorman Produce Farm as soon as you have a free afternoon. You're interested enough to read a Web site about food? Go buy from people growing food in Howard County at the newly-rejuvinated farm between Rte 29 and U.S. 1. (UPDATE: My friend went today, and someone at the farm said they're not open for business yet. Definitely call ahead if you're going to drive a long way.) Lydia and Dave Liker have leased the farm on Gorman Road, and they sell produce just in from the field. This is about a mile south of the Harris Teeter in King's Contrivance. Much of the Liker's produce goes out through their "community supported agriculture" program where people paid $550 for weekly boxes of vegetables from June through October. But you can pick up fresh vegetables by stopping at the farm and buying from the Likers -- or from Dave's father, who helped me buy on Saturday. I saw a new sign for the Gorman Produce Farm on my way to the Savage library. The sign doesn't really say that you can buy vegetables there, but I drove down a gravel road to the signs that say "park here" and "produce here." Inside a building were plastic tubs and boxes full of vegetables -- squash, basil, cabbage, green beans, eggplants, chard, and on and on. I broke out my "emergency" $20 bill, and I bought carrots, kohlrabi, squash and lettuce. They're beautiful and delicious. The vegetables are not certified organic, but the Likers say on their Web site that they grow everything according to organic principles. That works for me because I'm skeptical of government "organic" labels -- just like I'm skeptical about the government labels for "local" produce. Why not believe a farm where you can look around yourself? You can meet the farmers most days until about 6 pm. The CSA pick-up is Thursday, and they say people can pick up until 6 pm. Dave Liker said that the gates on Gorman close when they're closed for the day. His father pointed out that it's a working farm, so there are times when people drive up and the Likers are too busy working to make a sale. Gorman's prices seem about what you pay at the Howard County farmers markets. Tomatoes should ripen in a week or so. Corn is on the way. The fields are just going to deliver more and more through the end of the summer.

I've been there a few times this past season. Yes, it's small and they only have a few farmers…read morethere but they had great produce. The times I went, the farmer from Virginia had a great selection of vegetables and the farmer from Pennsylvania had the delicious fruit. His peaches especially the doughnut kind were great (I bought all he had that day) and he had a lot of different kinds of apples. Parking is easy too so you can get in and out quickly. It's a market that is struggling to grow. I think it just needs more local support and it'll be more worth the trip for those who expect to see a lot more farmers at a farmers market.

Both were extremely knowledgeable and did an awesome job. They not only opened up the front of our house.

Two recipes--coarsely chopped tomatoes, vidalias, and feta cheese, salt and pepper and olive oil, amounts your choice.
