Fall Into Farm-Fresh Food at the Rockville Farmers Market
The Rockville Farmers Market has officially opened for the fall season, featuring a wide variety of fresh produce that includes apples, cider, gourds, and pumpkins. Operating every Saturday from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m.
until November 23, 2024, the market is located in the jury parking lot at East Jefferson and Monroe streets in Rockville Town Center. A key highlight of this year's market is the dollar-for-dollar match program, which provides up to $20 for customers utilizing SNAP/EBT and WIC-FVC benefits. This initiative is part of the Eat Fresh Rockville program, now in its 13th year, which aims to remove financial barriers for food-insecure shoppers while promoting access to fresh produce. In addition to fruits and vegetables, the market offers a variety of locally sourced products, including baked goods, local beer, and spirits. The program not only helps combat hunger but also strengthens the local food system by investing directly in farmers.
Shoppers can visit the market tent at the entrance for more information about the program and participating vendors. For further details, the community can visit the official website or follow the market on Facebook.
