Market Frequently Asked Questions
What hours is the market open?
We are open Saturday April 27th though November 23rd, 9:00am to 1:00pm. We are open Rain or Shine, except for the two weeks of the Frederick Fair (September 14th & 21st).
Can I bring my dog to the market?
Yes, you and your dog are welcome at the market. However, they must be on a leash and not be allowed to come in contact with any goods being sold. Of course, if “nature calls” we expect that you will be prepared to and clean up after your pet. Management does reserve the right to ask you to remove any animal that is aggressive or making themselves a nuisance.
If I have extra produce in my garden can just come to the market to sell it for the day?
No, all of our vendors have applied to be members of the market and pay rent for their spaces. They must be approved to attend and must furnish all necessary permits and licenses before attending. They must also agree to have their facilities inspected by management to be certain they in fact are the producers of what they sell.
Can I select my purchases and pay at one location?
No, each of our vendors represent individual businesses. As such, they each are responsible to collect payment for their sales.
What type of payment is accepted?
Since each vendor is an individual business they choose what type of payment they accept. All accept cash, some vendors accept checks and several accept credit/debit cards. Other forms of payment accepted by a limited number of vendors are WIC farmers market coupons, WIC Fruit and Vegetable checks and SNAP.
Is there designated parking for the market?
Yes, we now have ample designated parking for the market. Most weeks a parking attendant is available to assist you.
During the Frederick Fair Week will the market be open?
We will be open September 7th, across the street from the Frederick Fairgrounds. We will be closed on September 14th & September 21st.
How can I get updates on what is being offered and what is going on at the market each week?
