YOUR favorite farmers market

No matter which farmers market you attend, although we hope that you are coming to ours, you come for a reason.

That reason may be to get local fruits, vegetables, eggs, or any variety of meat.

That reason could be to grab breakfast, lunch, dinner, or any meal in-between from a valued vendor.

That reason could be to socialize, hang out with neighbors, or to meet new people.

Whatever that reason is, it is important to support your favorite markets. The American Farmland Trust is holding their annual "America's Favorite Farmers Market" contest and you can help get your favorite farmers markets noticed by voting for them online. When you support your local farmers markets you aren't just standing up for healthy produce and regional farmers, but you are also supporting and saving the agricultural land that produce your favorite fruits, vegetables, and grains and provides food for other animals. So go ahead and vote for the farmer, the market, and your support for the land!

"No Farms, No Food"

Location, location, location

Growing up we are always taught that location is the most important element to success. Be it a perfectly slopped vineyard in Italy that produces the best grapes or a sought after plot of land that will soon be home to a farmers market, the location is the first point of discussion.

The Tuesday Market in Lauraville is proud to announce its location change to

4500 Harford Road!

When the market began three short years ago this was its original home and proved to be a great success. We are extremely excited to welcome the market back to this loved piece of land and hope that you too will welcome it into your Tuesday evening schedule.

June 7th from 4-8PM, don't forget to mark your calendars for the beginning of an exciting market season!

Who wants to play chicken now?

With the arriving warmer weather the chickens at Sunnyside Farm can be seen frolicking in their fresh pastures on any given day. If they aren't running around or basking in the suns warm rays, then they can be seen chowing down on some delicious fresh grass or hanging out with their loving caretakers, Dru Peters and Homer Walden.

Picture thanks to Sunnyside Farm

Sunnyside Farm, located in Dover, Pennsylvania, is home to a variety of cows, pigs, turkeys, vegetable patches, hens and of course chickens. Each day the chickens get a fresh new piece of land to play in and feed on lush blades of grass and any other natural goodies they may find in the pastures (such as earth worms and clover.)

Picture Thanks to Sunnyside Farm

The chickens of Sunnyside Farm will be available at the Tuesday Market in Lauraville, but prior to our season beginning you can find them around the Baltimore area quite frequently. Visit their blog to keep up with farm happenings or their website to learn more about their great living situation on the farm!

You too will want to live the lifestyle of a chicken residing on Sunnyside Farm!
