Farmers Markets near Upper Marlboro, MD

Bowie Farmers Market takes over the Bowie High School parking lot on Annapolis Road every Sunday from late May through October, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Vendors bring locally grown produce, cut flowers, artisan bread, pastries, and meat — a City of Bowie-run market, which is part of why it's stayed consistent year to year.

Anne Arundel County's largest farmers market runs Saturdays, 8 a.m. to noon, in the Crofton Library lot on Riedel Road. It's producer-only, with more than 50 vendors selling produce, meats, dairy, breads, flowers, and crafts, plus food trucks on-site. Now past its first decade, the market draws enough of a following that its Facebook page tops 17,000 followers. Arrive early — parking fills fast.

Set up in the Cedar Grove United Methodist Church lot on Deale-Churchton Road, this market runs Thursdays, 3 to 6 p.m., from July through October. Vendors bring vegetables, cut flowers, fruit, baked goods, jam, meat, herbs, and plants — straightforward farm-stand fare with no middlemen. It takes WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits, but skip the credit card: cash only, by most accounts.

Odenton

Piney Orchard Farmers Market has run outside the Piney Orchard Community Center on Stream Valley Drive for more than two decades, one of the longer-standing markets in Anne Arundel County. Wednesday hours run 2 to 6 p.m. from late spring through October, with vendors selling local produce, baked goods, honey, and specialty foods. The wooded community-center setting gives it a quieter feel than the county's bigger markets.

Annapolis

This market sets up on the Anne Arundel Medical Center campus in Annapolis, at Riva Road and Harry S. Truman Parkway, giving hospital staff, patients, and neighbors a produce stand without leaving the medical campus. It runs on weekends during the season, with local vendors rotating through — a hospital system building healthy-food access directly into its own parking lot.

Route 1 Farmers Market & Bazaar occupies the former B&J Auto Lot on Rhode Island Avenue in Brentwood, inside Prince George's County's Gateway Arts District. The market opens for the season in early June, selling produce, baked goods, flowers, and artisan goods, and accepts SNAP/EBT. Its arts-district location puts it alongside galleries and studios rather than a typical town square.

This small Annapolis market sets up in the front parking lot of Clock Tower Place on Forest Drive, running Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m. through the summer. It's a low-key stop for produce and handcrafted goods from regional vendors — shoppers often grab what they need here, then walk over to Tastings Gourmet nearby for bread, cheese, and wine. No indoor stalls, no frills, just a parking-lot market locals fold into their Friday routine.

College Park

Downtown College Park's market has run since 2010, set up indoors on Knox Road every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. across the spring-through-fall season. It draws a mix of residents, University of Maryland students, and visitors looking for locally sourced produce and prepared foods, with vendors taking a mix of cash and card. It runs alongside the newer Hollywood Farmers Market a few blocks north, giving College Park two Saturday options.

Mount Rainier

Mount Rainier's Farmers Market operates seasonally at One Municipal Place, giving small regional farmers and food producers direct access to Prince George's County shoppers.

Confirm current weekly hours directly, since seasonal schedules shift year to year.

The USDA Farmers Market at Beltsville sets up in Parking Lot B of the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center on Sunnyside Avenue. Vendors including Harris Orchard, Melwood Horticulture, and Westmoreland Produce sell fresh fruit, vegetables, and plants to USDA employees and the surrounding community. Its location inside a federal research campus makes it one of the more unusual farmers market settings in the state.

College Park

A group of North College Park residents started this market in 2013 to bring fresh food to their side of town, and it's grown into a Saturday fixture — 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., through late November — in the Hollywood Shopping Center lot next to MOM's Organic Market. Live music runs alongside the produce and handmade goods stalls, and SNAP and WIC shoppers get matching-dollar incentives on top of their benefits.

Stanton and Alabama Avenue SE

Beltsville

Hyattsville's farmers market is marking its 25th season at 3505 Hamilton Street, with stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, baked goods, and bodycare products alongside nutrition education and chef demonstrations. The market accepts SNAP, WIC, and EBT, and runs a matching-dollar program that adds $10 for shoppers who complete an on-site market tour.

Annapolis

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources hosts this small market in the parking lot of its own Tawes State Office Building on Taylor Avenue in Annapolis, Thursday afternoons from June through early September. It's aimed at state employees and nearby residents rather than tourists — produce, eggs, milk, meat, and other farm goods sold straight from the growers. Call for this season's exact schedule.

Crossroads Farmers Market has run every Wednesday, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at Anne Street and University Boulevard East since 2007 — one of the longest-running markets serving Takoma Park's Langley Park corridor, home to a large immigrant community. Every vendor grows or processes what they sell within 125 miles of Takoma Park. The nonprofit behind it, Crossroads Community Food Network, built the market around a choice-based model meant to make fresh food affordable for low-income shoppers.

Fort Washington

Freedom Farmers' Market sets up on Livingston Road in Fort Washington, Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to noon, spring through fall. Regular vendors include H & H Farm and Miller Farms for produce, Calamity Carol's Bakery for baked goods, Wilholts Roasted Nuts, and Victoria Leigh Jewelry for handmade accessories — a mix of food and craft stalls rather than a pure produce market. It's built a loyal following in Prince George's County over the years.

Ronal Regan Building and International Trade Center

Briggs Chaney-Greencastle Farmers and Artisans Market runs out of the Fairland-area location on Briggs Chaney Road in Silver Spring, pairing local produce with handcrafted goods in what's now billed as an indoor, community-hub setup. It draws a mixed crowd — families doing a weekly shop and browsers there for the artisans as much as the food.
