In 1988 we decided to venture into the retail produce business. We started out with a small roadside stand, which we added on to four times to accommodate our growing business. In 2009 we demolished the old stand and dairy barn and constructed a beautiful new building for the market. We currently grow 5 acres of fresh market vegetables, and in addition to fresh produce we sell a variety of local goods.
Our Products
Our Products
FRESH PRODUCE
Produce available at the market includes blueberries, cantaloupe, cherries, corn, cucumbers, green beans, onions, peaches, peppers, tomatoes, watermelon, yellow squash, zucchini and more. We have three high tunnels to extend our season and all of the produce in them is naturally grown (untreated seeds, no conventional chemicals are used). We strive to grow our field vegetables (cantaloupes, watermelons, squashes) in the same manner, although we do occasionally use treated seeds. We use the same natural fertilizers for both our high tunnel and field crops. The only crop we do use a conventional spray on is our sweet corn. We have tried growing corn organically in the past, but between the weeds and the pests it was nearly impossible. We spray our corn on a schedule to keep pests at bay, that way we use the least amount possible. Produce that isn't grown by us is sourced locally from other MD farms and, depending on the time of year, out-of-state farms as well.
In addition to produce, we sell goods from the following local businesses:
LAPP FAMILY BAKERY
Although Mr. and Mrs. Lapp retired from their wholesale business, they have passed along their knowledge and
recipes to a new family. John and Priscilla Lapp took over for Mervin and Sue in the summer of 2018, and we now carry their
baked goods. Everything is baked fresh on Thursdays and delivered to us Friday morning. We carry a variety of fruit and cream pies,
sweet breads, cookies, whoopie pies, pizza dough, and granola.
