Fresh Food Abounds at The Avenue's Farmers Market

Fresh fruits and vegetables, honey and honey-based products, fresh breads and baked goods—you don't have to travel far for these items, thanks to the weekly Farmers Market at The Avenue at White Marsh."

Held each Friday until Oct. 30 this year, from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., this small yet diversified market features food grown in Baltimore and Harford counties.

You'll find The Avenue at White Marsh Farmers Market in the parking lot behind Barnes and Noble.

"Unlike many of the other 'local' markets, our vendors must produce or grow what they sell," says Janelle Vane, a market planner. "We have a good, loyal following that knows our products and keeps coming back. The Avenue has supported the market for about 10 years and many of our customers say they have been coming since the beginning."

The Farmers Market accepts WIC, the federal program for women, infants and children, certificates for fresh vegetables.
