For those looking for an escape from the processed, manufactured food you find at a fast food joint or from the microwaved, frozen stuff at the local chain restaurant, check out the FreshFarm Market in Silver Spring. In the heart of downtown Silver Spring on Ellsworth Drive between Fenton Street and Georgia Avenue you can find this fantastic open air market.
The market features over a dozen vendors who offer fresh produce, dairy, vegetables, fruits, flowers, meat and so much more. A few of the more exotic items offered are buffalo beef jerky, sunflower bread, spicy corn muffins and local honey. Some of the featured vendors are Atwater's Bakery, Blue Ridge Dairy, Chesapeake Greenhouse (NEW!), Evensong Farm and Everona Dairy.
The vendors are extremely knowledgeable and helpful and are eager to help with your selections. Recipes are available through FreshFarms so you can put your new fresh and organic ingredients to good use.
Beginning April 3rd the regular season market hours are Saturdays from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm. There is free parking available on Saturdays at the nearby public garage accessible from Georgia and Wayne Avenues. The closest metro stop is the Red Line Silver Spring stop which is about 1/3 of a mile away from the FreshFarm Market. There are many payment options including cash, debit card, food stamps, WIC and Seniors' Farmers Market Coupons.
