Leave it up to me to visit the Crofton Farmers Market at the end of summer! Le Sigh! I actually…read moredidn't know about the Farmers Market until I spotted one of my favorite dessert shops are vendors at this location. So what did I do, planned to go first thing Saturday morning! Located at the Crofton Library parking lot, parking for the Market is onsite - front and back parking lot options, street parking and the church across the street provides parking. Open at 8am - noon and food trucks until 2pm on Saturday's, I saw any and everything you could imagine. Farm fresh produce, pies, goats milk soap, freshly pressed juices, speciality cookies and cupcakes, and EMPANADAS! We were like kids in a candy store, so clearly everything I just listed, we purchased. All of the vendors we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The Farmers Market opens in May and closes for the season in November. My top 3 vendors, Sugar Butter Love, DMV Empanadas, and the Goats Milk Soap vendor - sorry can't remember their name. All had quality options to purchase. The Market has a website to check out the vendors that will be on display, as well as social media pages. I was impressed and will absolutely be back! Note to the wise, bring a reusable bag or two to collect your purchased items. I even brought an insulated bag for my hot/cold items.

I asked for a seeded watermelon and I realized when I got home they sold me a seedless one. Also…read morethey charge $15 for it! You can get an organic seedless watermelon right now at Whole Foods. They also don't get them locally. I only paid it because my normal farmers market was closed (that also charges 1/2 the price for seeded). Much of the fruit and veggies I saw looked/felt past their freshness period. I doubt they will refund my money so I'll never go back. There are much better farmers markets in the area.

We've driven by many…read moretimes since we moved the area and chose to go here for our Christmas tree this year based on the convenience factor (close and open late). This was our one and only time (so far) purchasing anything from here so my review is limited to this one experience. Expect sticker shock if you're getting a tree (but I think that's true anywhere). The tree we got was absolutely beautiful and perfectly shaped. We didn't even have to trim it when we got it home! The staff was very friendly, prepped the tree for us and tied it to our car. I would like to go back here again in the spring when they're back with seasonal produce!

Small but really nice. About 6-7 vendors selling a nice variety of veggies, fruits, flowers, meats, baked goods, and one selling cooked something-or-other for a meal to eat there. We will definitely be coming here again! Most of the items *we think* are locally-grown, but cannot absolutely verify this. Considering the pandemic and the physical distancing we all have to abide by, everyone was doing a really nice job, both sellers and customers. Definitely worth 5 stars!!

We are here ALL the time for the farmers market which is 2x a month, both times with different…read morevendors so its always new people each month. Example: plants, clothing, hummus, drink mix in, crafts, candles, usually a hot dog or food truck but that's hit or miss lately. Vendors themselves - I come here to get my daughters cupcakes or cookie whatever she picked out that day. Bows, snacks, soaps, candles, and sustainable items. Generally I always walk away with something. Usually 20 vendors or more and the list of vendors is posted on FB so I follow their page to check on when my favorites are there. Parking- is easy even with a full lot, its on their property with almost no need for walking. Very close. Accessibility- okay for stroller that have bigger tires, maybe less for umbrella strollers. It's all grass so wheelchairs may be hit or miss depending on arm strength. Bathrooms - Portapottys are available. Only negative is as a bunny mom I didn't love they had bunnies out on display for the kids and didn't have a cooling bottle (frozen bottle of ice) to keep the bunnies cool. This is not uncommon especially for a farm. I gave them a cold bottle I had. Afterwards I never saw the bunny out since I'd been back so perhaps they took heed? Either way this is a great market and a consistent family outing. Highly recommend to anyone.

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.
