Fells Point Farmer's Market New This Season! Every Saturday!

Finally, Fells Point has a market. YES!

Don't get me wrong, I love the Sunday market. However, sometimes I run out of food by Friday or I can't make it on Sunday.

Now, I can walk to a Saturday market instead of planning to drive up 83, which is just a pain.

Market will run until November 12th. Hours of operation are 7:30am-11:30am [Rain or Shine].

I heard they may have music this week. Coming soon will be Chef demonstrations etc...

I love this poster!

I want to personally thank the Fells Point Main Street (local non-profit) for working to get a Market back in this community. I came to understand that a single business owner in the area provided the start up funds! WOW! How cool is that?

So, if you like the idea of having a market in the area you can walk to, get out there and shop until you drop!

If you have ideas on vendors or craftsmen let the Fells Point Main Street booth know. The goal is to expand the market down the pier so, go each week to see how it shapes up.

Another awesome thing about this market is the Market Manager. She is always visible and will personally walk you through the market. To my knowledge, Dogs are allowed!
She has even built a facebook page for the market to communicate to residents and allow for the vendors to communicate! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fells-Point-Farmers-Market/
