Farms Near Rockville, MD

Rockville

This Wednesday market ran outside Dawson's Market, the specialty grocer on North Washington Street in downtown Rockville, from May through September — produce, gourmet cheese, baked goods, meat, and seafood pulled partly from the store's own local sourcing. Dawson's Market closed permanently in June 2024 after twelve years, and there's no indication the outdoor market has continued under a different host. Anyone updating this listing should confirm whether it still runs at all.

The Saturday Rockville Farmers Market sets up in the Jury Building parking lot at the corner of Route 28 and Monroe Street, running 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from mid-May through early November. It's one of the longer-running markets in Montgomery County's rotation, and it takes FMNP, WIC, and SNAP/EBT — built for a regular grocery run, not just weekend browsing.
