This small Farmers Market is located in the Langley/Takoma Crossroads area, where Silver Spring kind of overlaps into Takoma Park. Located at 7676 New Hampshire Ave near the corner of New Hampshire and University Blvd.
Nice place to pick up fresh, local (with a capitol L) produce at mid-week. Smaller and not as crowded as the weekend markets, it is open on Wednesdays from 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm.
There was a laid-back guitar duo playing there yesterday, that was very good!
It is stawberry season now. The strawberries you get here are unlike anything you can buy in the grocery stores. There is just something about local that is fresher, juicier and tastier. I can't wait till it is tomato season!
