Join us for the new Antique Mall Farmers Market on Tuesday evenings from 4 pm to 7 pm!
Located at the Antique Mall on the corner of Hahn Road and Rt. 27, the newest Westminster market features fresh, local fruits and vegetables as well as homemade breads, cinnamon rolls, and other sweet treats. This market is in keeping with our philosophy of 'producer only'. Everything you find at both of our markets are grown or made by the farm represented at that stand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Downtown Westminster Farmers Market
Located in the Conaway Parking Lot on Rt 27/Railroad Ave.
Saturdays - 8 am to 12 pm
If you find it here, it's grown here.
This is what 'producer only' means. We require all produce and primary products (meaning eggs, meats, flowers as well as fruits and vegetables) to be grown by the farm represented at that stand. All 'value added' products (such as baked goods, jams and jellies) must be handmade by the person selling them or have originated entirely from products raised on that person's farm.
By shopping with us, you can be sure that you are buying products that were locally grown and produced. You may not find watermelons or corn in May, but this may very well be the only drawback to our form of marketing. In exchange for waiting until these items come into season in north central Maryland, you will get:
~The freshest produce available, because it just was picked and not shipped long distances.
~Reduced environmental impact because the produce was not shipped long distances.
~The satisfaction of supporting local farmers (preserving ag land and food security).
~Many organic and natural produce, meat, and cheese options.
~To know your farmers and make inquiries into specific growing practices, varieties, and other things you'd like to know about your food.
Our Market focuses on locally grown food and farm produced items. We hope you go home with ingredients for fresh, healthy meals for the week. From veggies to fruits, cheese to meat, we are working hard to bring you the freshest, healthiest food available.
