Rockville Farmers Market Opening Day Approaching

From the City of Rockville: The Rockville Farmers Market returns Saturday, May 13 to give shoppers their pick of farm-fresh produce and more from regional grower/producers.

This year's market will include vendors offering fruits and vegetables, plants and flowers, herbs, baked goods, local beer and wine, knife sharpening, meat and coffee.

The market will be open 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays, through Nov. 18 in the jury parking lot at E. Jefferson (MD 28) and Monroe streets in Rockville Town Center.

The market participates in the Maryland Market Money Program.
