It’s early morning, but the scent of curried foods already wafts through the air. Clusters of people mill about, stopping at tables to sample farm-made jams, purchase seasonal vegetables, try on a handcrafted necklace or buy herbs for the home garden.
A Caribbean steel band group plays lively music that complements the festive atmosphere. Just overhead, the din of traffic moving along the Jones Falls Expressway ensures that no one mistakes this for a market on the farm. It’s the Baltimore Farmers’ Market — a market open every Sunday morning until just before Christmas. More than 200,000 visited the market last year, with peak Sundays bringing in 8,000 eager shoppers.
Markets Get a Foothold
Ever since the early 1980s, farmers’ markets in the region have taken off. Tony Evans, the former coordinator of Farmers’ Market Programs for the Maryland Department of Agriculture helped establish the markets in this part of the state.
He attributes that the success of the markets appeal to a very basic human need — “providing a community place for people to buy produce. At its core, a farmers’ market puts people back in touch with their community.
Eating Local is Getting Easier
As the mantra to “Eat local” has become lodged in our collective conscience, farmers’ markets have grown in both numbers and popularity. In Anne Arundel, Calvert and Prince George’s counties alone, the number of weekly markets has climbed to 19. Add in Baltimore and D.C. markets, along with neighboring counties, and the number rises to well over 50.
Many of the local venues have evolved through the Maryland Department of Agriculture. Others, though, have come to fruition through the efforts of FRESHFARM Markets. This nonprofit organization not only supports the region’s farmers, but also protects threatened farmlands, connects city dwellers with farmers, and offers vital economic opportunities to local farmers.
One of the most recent FARMFRESH markets opened June 1 in downtown Annapolis. Situated at water’s edge in the heart
of the city, this market moves beyond the often-standard lettuce-tomatoes-peaches goods for sale. Fresh-baked crusty loaves of bread, homemade jams, lamb meat and sheep wool, crab cakes and mushroom empanadas, along with samples of food from local chefs make sauntering around the marketplace sheer delight.
