At this market, you will find a full variety of conventional and certified organic fruits and vegetables, pasture-raised meat, poultry and eggs, artisan sweet and savory baked goods, fresh milk, butter, yogurt, goat/cow cheeses, fermented foods and pickles, jams, jellies and sauces, flowers, plants, handmade soaps, and more! You name it, this market has it all. One additional note to know...."It's a year-round" market! Unlike most farmer's markets in the area, where you are limited to summer-only and seasonal openings. The market is open only on Saturday mornings between the hours of 9am-1pm. Parking is available on the streets for free and parking meters are free as well on weekend. And, if it helps...all vendors accepts SNAP/Food Stamps and WIC. In all, lot's of great finds and a great way to connect with local farmers in/around the DC metropolitan area. It is definitely worth a visit. It's the perfect place to spend part of your Saturday morning on a nice day...and on the cheap.

I just love this spot. I've been coming here over the years to get my fill of Pennsylvania Dutch…read moretreats, which allows me to get from DC without having to drive all the way to Pennsylvania. This spot has so many wonderful food stands. Upon walking in, you can pick up a cart to explore all of the stands. My kids love this place as much as me since you can find so much variety. Our first stop is the very busy Amish soft pretzel stand. My kids love the standard soft pretzel dipped in melted butter and topped with rock salt. My personal favorite are the stuffed soft pretzels like the pretzels stuffed with roast beef and cooper sharp cheddar. Nothing tastes better! There are also many other stands that offer fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. I particularly like Bieler's Donuts, the same place you'll find packed lines in Philadelphia right here. It's such a fun place and my kids love it. But most importantly, this is dad's spot!

The times I went, the farmer from Virginia had a great selection of vegetables and the farmer from Pennsylvania had the delicious fruit. His peaches especially the doughnut kind were great (I bought all he had that day) and he had a lot of different kinds of apples. Parking is easy too so you can get in and out quickly. It's a market that is struggling to grow. I think it just needs more local support and it'll be more worth the trip for those who expect to see a lot more farmers at a farmers market.

The lady there told me they were expecting a baker and someone else. It was 1 1/2 hours after the starting time. She didn't have rhubarb, but said she sold out at her booth in Gaithersburg the day before. She promised to have some the following week (today). Well, I bought rhubarb in Bethesda yesterday, but it is green and I kinda wanted the traditional red; just in case. I ventured back today and sure enough, she had rhubarb! It was the red kind and it was also 1/2 the price I paid for it in Bethesda. ($2/lb.) I was planning on giving this market only two stars, but the lady there assured me that as the harvest of fruits and vegetables mature, more farmers will show up. OK Lady, I am going to hold you to that. Now I am off to make my Rhubarb Slice. Operating Sundays; June 7-October 25; 9am-1pm

I do agree that this isn't so much a farmer's market as a bunch of prepared food and drink vendors, for the most part. Once (or if) you get over what you thought't'd be based on the name and get into what it is, it's really fun! I really enjoyed talking to all the vendors -- they were all very friendly and open, informative and I must say, joyous! Some were also a bit apologetic for being out of certain things, because I went at the very end when some things were sold out. There was still a great selection, though! I obtained much deliciousness from Rosemary Bistro Cafe in the form of Local Grilled Stuffed Zucchini, Watermelon Gazpacho, saucy beans, and a many-greens soup. This alone fed me for days .... There was also a great and greatly innovative cross-cultural mix in the Black Bean Hummus from Layla's Food Company, and a most wonderful Pesto Genovese from Open Hand that I used to make a beauteous pesto pizza -- mmm!

While the…read moremarket is usually at the elementary school, it sometimes took place at the Bethesda Farm Women's Market near Bethesda Row. There's plenty of parking in the back! There's an impressive variety of 20+ vendors with scrumptious pastries and gluten-free baked goods, fresh squeezed and cold-pressed juices, dog treats, empanadas, alcohol, and fresh made-to-order pizza and crepes. Here are my favorites: El Jefe Wood-fired Pizza - The new wood-fired pizza is delicious and the Margherita pizza tastes like Napoletan pizza, replaced Cipolla Rossa pizza. Grandma Vera's Bakery - You must try the cheesy Brazilian bread, gooey and gluten-free before they sell out! The Oreo scones are truly a delicacy! The fresh squeezed OJ and smoothies are refreshing and great way to cool off during the summer. Fresh Market Bakery - Located at the front of the market, the vendor has a variety of scrumptious breads, quiches, pies, and other baked goods. The fluffy asaigo cheese and seasonal focaccia breads is divine and sell out fast!. The cheesy and blueberry scones are my favorite! The spinach mushroom quiche is bursting with flavor and worth $25. Family of Nuts - Galore of roasted and flavorful, healthy nuts. The Apple and Truffle Parmesan almonds are my favorite while hubby likes the Everything Bagel seasoned Cashews. Jarabe Paleta - The paleta popsicles are refreshing and perfect way to cool during the scorching summer heat. The mango, watermelon, apple cinnamon and peaches and cream are my favorite! The strawberry yogurt paleta and creamy cinnamon horchata are fun to try, the spicy mango delivers with a tangy tamarind flavor and a spicy kick! Little Sesame - The caramelized onion hummus hit the spot! While hummus can be a bit bland, the caramelized onion added a nice sweet touch and paired well with the fluffy pita. The pita was nice to try, but quite dense and hard to conquer all 4 pitas. Yoga in a Bowl - Delicious Peace Kathi paneer breakfast wraps and Rose and Mango Lassi cold drinks. Arepateca - While the arepas were fun to try, there were dense and overstuffed, and quite messy! The hot chocolate with a spicy kick was good! Rita's Crepes - The Veggie Supreme with scrambled egg is bursting with flavor and quite filling! My toddler enjoyed the crispy crepe and it was so much fun to watch the staff make the crepe. Fight Juice - Cold-pressed fresh juice that's healthy and not too sweet. The Strawberry Lemonade is quite refreshing! Simply Delicious Desserts - True to its name, the fresh eggplant parm and butternut squash ravioli lasagna are simply delicious! Rita's Crepes - The Veggie Supreme with scrambled egg is bursting with flavor and quite filling! My toddler enjoyed the crispy crepe and it was so much fun to watch the staff make the crepe. Jinlan Wenhua - Authentic hand-made dumplings with an impressive variety of vegetarian and meat hearty dumplings (sell out early!). They come frozen and are best prepared at home by pan-frying for crispy edges or steaming for soup dumplings. The sweet potato and glass noodle dumplings were bursting with flavor and the Carrots and Zucchini dumplings were also tasty. Yufka Bakery - Crispy phyllo spinach and feta cheese sandwich with spicy mayo. Bun'd Up (Alternate Weeks) - Scrumptious soft handmade bao buns stuffed with tofu, chicken, beef, pork, etc The bite-size buns are airy and light and topped with greens, scallions, crunchy fried onions, and aioli sauce. Rice Culture - Loved trying the waffle cone fish shaped Taiyakis filled with custard and red bean paste. The custard was my pick while my daughter enjoyed the red bean paste. Butterfly Spirits - The 4 pack of Eldenflower Seltzer is boozy and delicious! Twin Valley Distillery - The Apple Cinnamon Whiskey costs $29 is refreshing and pairs well with apple cider and prefer it over the flagship 1812 Blended Whiskey at $42, which isn't that smooth. Clear Skies Meadery - Bought a bottle of the maraschino liquor. Potomac Sweets - With a galore of scrumptious pastries to choose from, the Almond Croissant and Almond Chocolate hit the spot! The baked goods are definitely on the sweeter side. Baked by Jael - The decadent raspberry crumble bar and the fudgy chocolate chip brownie hit the spot! Impasta Gluten-Free - The mini berry tart was delicious! Not a fan of the dense Chocolate Chip or Garlic Sour Dough Scones, they had a weird smell and taste to them. Rise Gluten-Free Bakery - The Buttermilk Biscuit was delicious and stayed moist for 2 days! I wasn't a fan of the chocolate croissant. While the rich decadent chocolate filling was tasty, the doughy shell was underbaked with a sour taste and didn't settle well . Pearl Iced Tea - The passionfruit tea is quite bitter and wish their tea could be sweetened by simple syrup or sugar. Wonderful market and always love coming back and bringing home a bunch of goodies!

Over the years, we've done apple, strawberry, and blueberry picking here, but the fall pumpkin festival is the best.

Although the Apple selections were few, we did gather some pink lady apples, which were a huge hit! Sadly, the Gala apples were not doing well this season so we didn't get to pick any of those.

Note that the entry fee does not cover your cost to pick apples so prepare to spend around $60 total. Overall, this place was great and I cannot wait to return!
