Two New Farmers Markets In Greater Silver Spring

Two New Farmers Markets In Greater Silver Spring

Milk Lady Farmers Markets has a mission: to bring fresh, wholesome, affordable food to the greater Silver Spring area, one neighborhood at a time.  New Burtonsville farmers market opens this Sunday, April 21, 2013.  Just in time for Earth Day celebrating.  Another, White Oak Middle School farmers market on Saturday May 4.

“Come after church, the library or pool for fresh local fruits, veggies and many more locavore delights."  Gigi Goin, the MLM market manager says invitingly.  “Our farmers markets provide that natural connection around fresh, wholesome food. This is an activity for the entire family. You come here every Saturday, Sunday, enjoy the fresh outdoor air; kids try the freshest produce… a real hub for neighborhood schmoozing, prepared food sampling and coffee sipping. Farmers markets are fun!”

Our Standards of Quality 
Remember, our markets are producer-only! 
This means real farmers, hand-craft artisans and vendors who grow, recycle or fair-trade their goods, not resellers of mass-produced or commercially grown products.  We invite you to visit our farmers markets listed below and enjoy the neighborhoods we serve.
