    This is a small farmers market. If you hit this market on Saturday & the one in Columbia on Sunday…read moreor even Jennie's in New Friendship, and breeze by Franks produce, you'll have everything that you need. So about this market... do not come on any empty stomach. You will buy everything. That's what happened to me. I don't regret it and I'd do it again. I literally went from table to table and purchased. From the cookies, to the flowers, the puffin jars, the handmade jewelry, the salmon candy, the crystals, the freeze dried candy, pastries, the coffee, donuts, the veggies, the microgreens, & the breakfast stand with the fresh juice. It's not too busy and there's plenty of parking. All they need is a grill stand, bakery items, some tables/chairs, tshirts, face painting, music, a bounce house and it would be a party. I will add this to my Saturday routine.

    Solid 4 stars for the vendors and ease of parking, although I anticipated more farmer stands…read more DD and I had delicious coffees and a sample of maple salmon candy (yum!). We browsed every vendor's wares and she bought a LOT. Everything from jewelry to apples, fancy yeast rolls to the salmon, and an adorable and very useful bowl cozy* found their way into our cloth bags. *Ever heated something in your microwave, only to have the bowl get too hot to handle? You need one of these! It's microwave safe and does a better job than potholders! We enjoyed our visit so much, we plan to go every Saturday through their final one the first week of October.

    Gorman Produce Farm - Strawberry picking season

    I am a NC girl, and love the strawberry season. So, when I finished eating and putting up my NC…read morestrawberries from a recent trip to the freezer, I was longing for more. My search brought me to Gorman farm, which is very close to my home. I arrived to the farm to find beautiful expensive berries that were pick that day. I hesitated to buy them, but I was excited. I got them home to find fragile berries underneath the top berries. Quite a few berries had to be thrown out. Whether they were moldy or were home to bugs/slugs. I ended up cutting a lot away from the berries, trying to savage them. I am not sure I will give them another try pre-pick is $4/pint, $8/ quart, or self pick sign said $6/lb. Pretty steep!

    If you live near Laurel, Columbia or Savage (or commute up Rte 29 into Howard County), then you…read moreshould buy vegetables at Gorman Produce Farm as soon as you have a free afternoon. You're interested enough to read a Web site about food? Go buy from people growing food in Howard County at the newly-rejuvinated farm between Rte 29 and U.S. 1. (UPDATE: My friend went today, and someone at the farm said they're not open for business yet. Definitely call ahead if you're going to drive a long way.) Lydia and Dave Liker have leased the farm on Gorman Road, and they sell produce just in from the field. This is about a mile south of the Harris Teeter in King's Contrivance. Much of the Liker's produce goes out through their "community supported agriculture" program where people paid $550 for weekly boxes of vegetables from June through October. But you can pick up fresh vegetables by stopping at the farm and buying from the Likers -- or from Dave's father, who helped me buy on Saturday. I saw a new sign for the Gorman Produce Farm on my way to the Savage library. The sign doesn't really say that you can buy vegetables there, but I drove down a gravel road to the signs that say "park here" and "produce here." Inside a building were plastic tubs and boxes full of vegetables -- squash, basil, cabbage, green beans, eggplants, chard, and on and on. I broke out my "emergency" $20 bill, and I bought carrots, kohlrabi, squash and lettuce. They're beautiful and delicious. The vegetables are not certified organic, but the Likers say on their Web site that they grow everything according to organic principles. That works for me because I'm skeptical of government "organic" labels -- just like I'm skeptical about the government labels for "local" produce. Why not believe a farm where you can look around yourself? You can meet the farmers most days until about 6 pm. The CSA pick-up is Thursday, and they say people can pick up until 6 pm. Dave Liker said that the gates on Gorman close when they're closed for the day. His father pointed out that it's a working farm, so there are times when people drive up and the Likers are too busy working to make a sale. Gorman's prices seem about what you pay at the Howard County farmers markets. Tomatoes should ripen in a week or so. Corn is on the way. The fields are just going to deliver more and more through the end of the summer.
