“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.” – Wendell Berry

Freshfarm Markets strives to build and strengthen the local food movement in the Chesapeake Bay region. The idea of a fun and beneficial market is needed to create vibrant urban and community places, to provide economic opportunities for farmers and to showcase our region’s agricultural bounty. Freshfarm Markets aim to create a sustainable urban-rural partnership that brings the blessings of healthy local food to our communities and sustains the working landscapes that feed us.

All Freshfarm Markets are producer-only markets. Farmers may only sell what they grow or produce themselves. This ensures that the money you spend goes directly to farmers, helping their operations remain economically viable so they can continue to farm their land. The Annapolis Freshfarm Market welcomes food stamps, WIC “Get Fresh” Checks, and Senior Farmers Market Coupons and offers FREE matching Market Dollars.

Some space at the market is designated for nonprofit and community organizations that wish to prove outreach information about their programs. The space is only for local organizations that serve the Annapolis community and encourages outreach and education about a variety of subjects.

Shop for pasture-raised meats and eggs, artisan cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and shellfish, breads and baked goods, cut flowers, plants and so much more. Feel great knowing that you’re promoting local food with a face, a place and a taste in the Chesapeake Bay region.
