Highlandtown Farmers’ Market
July 11 - October 31
Saturdays, 8am - NOON
Bank & Conkling Street - Highlandtown
The Market prides itself as being one of, if not the only, all Maryland producer Farmers’ Market in Baltimore City. All of the Market producers are located within a 50 mile radius of Highlandtown!
Farm fresh product offerings include natural free-range brown eggs, pasture raised chicken & pork, seasonal vegetables, Maryland State Fair award winning fruit, jams, fall flowering mums, apple cider and more. Locally roasted 100% certified sustainable coffee is available by the bean or brewed by the cup!
A unique feature of our Market is a bakery that has been family owned and operated for 81 years. It is a “scratch bakery” that uses no mixes or bake-off items. Most of their recipes date back to the 1920’s and are still baked on the original brick hearth oven. The Baltimore Peach Cake and the Apple dumplings are made with the fruit from one of our Maryland farmers.
Being located in the heart of the Highlandtown Arts & Entertainment District, the Market provides a creative venue know as ART-ket @ the Market giving area artists and craftspersons the opportunity to showcase and sell their self-inspired talent and handcrafted wares.

32nd street Farmers Market
Saturdays, 7am - NOON
Parking Lot on E 32 Street and Barclay Streets - Downtown
Founded in 1980, the Market is a non-profit organization offering baked good, produce, fruit, prepared foods, and flowers to patrons from all economic, social, and ethnic backgrounds.
The mission is to provide a vehicle for independent vendors to survive large agribusiness competition, while making available a variety of produce, meat, bread, and plant selections to an underserved city community. Our vendors provide an opportunity for farmers to sell their products directly to the public, and for the public to benefit from access to fresh food that they would not otherwise have available to them in the immediate area. All funds collected from Market vendor spaces fees and membership donations are put toward market expenses. Any profits after expenses are paid are donated back to the community in the form of annual grants to local nonprofits.
Village of Cross Keys Farmers’ Market
June 6 - October 31
Tuesdays, 10am - 2pm
Parking Lot - Village of Cross Keys | 5100 Falls Road | 410.592.6095
Smaller than the others, Village of Cross Key Farmers’ Market was opened to give farmers another opportunity to sell their foods and to give consumers an organic option before the weekend. The Tuesday time slot keeps crowds smaller, which is appealing to the weekday gourmet in search of the perfect pepper, the freshest herbs and the ripest berries. Here are some other farmer’s markets listed in the Baltimore area on the Maryland Department of Agriculture website. Again, I can write a blurb about each one if you would like to use them in a spread.

Farmers will come from Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil and Garrett counties and Pennsylvania. The farmers use environmentally sustainable procedures, including fewer pesticides and no antibiotics or growth hormones.
