Takoma Park Farmer's Market

Our farmer's market allows only REAL farmers to sell their produce. No middle-folks here. We're a small city and the Sunday farmer's market - held on our main street, appropriately closed off for the weekly event -- is key to giving us our identity as well as a gathering place. Folks come to buy, but they also come to socialize. As is the case for many small cities, the current economic crisis is hurting our downtown merchants. We, as a community, are trying hard to keep ou downtown alive and vibrant. Our farmer's market is one of the key things that we have going in terms of getting local and not-necessarily local folk to come and savor our town in all its specialness.
