The 2012 So. Maryland, So Good Farmers' Market Guide lists 29 Southern Maryland Farmers' Markets located in Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George's and St. Mary's counties and other markets in the Washington metro area and Virginia that feature Southern Maryland farm vendors.
The free, full color guide contains market hours of operation, directions, contact details and a handy harvesting chart. Also listed are market websites that often feature information on farm vendors, produce updates and even great recipe ideas.
Many farmers' market vendors are now authorized to accept FMNP (WIC and Senior) and FVC coupons and some accept SNAP for fresh fruits and vegetables; for details on how and where to access these benefit programs in Southern Maryland visit the SMADC website at SMADC.
The Farmers' Market Guide is one of many resources created by SMADC in support of regional agriculture to assist local farm-based businesses in their continued growth and commercial viability. A related effort is the upcoming state-wide Buy Local Challenge Week (July 21 - 29).
Marylanders pledge to include local products (produce, eggs meat, fruit, wine, etc.) in their meals for one week. Visit the Buy Local Challenge website at Welcome to the Buy Local Challenge for details on how to take the pledge and find information about this year's "Take the Challenge with Friends" competition.
The Farmers' Market Guide is available while stocks last at Southern Maryland farmers' markets and regional public libraries, or call (301) 274-1922 for a list of pick-up sites. View or download the guide at So Maryland, So Good or SMADC.
