About the Market

Background

The Silver Spring FRESHFARM Market has established itself as a hub for local agriculture, exclusively featuring regional growers from Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. By prohibiting brokers and resale vendors, it ensures that customers receive the freshest produce directly from the source.

Practices

The market emphasizes direct relationships between farmers and consumers, supporting regional agriculture and ensuring transparency in food sourcing. By maintaining a producer-only policy, it fosters a community of trust and quality, where every item sold is grown, raised, or made by the vendor.

The Rest

Open year-round, rain or shine, the market accepts EBT/Food Stamps and offers Matching Dollar tokens up to $20 for EBT and WIC/Senior coupon customers. It features 'Chef at Market' cooking demonstrations, flower arranging, food tastings, food preservation demonstrations, and activities for kids. Educational materials are available every Saturday at the Market Information Table.
