New Farmer’s Market to open in Urbana
According to the FNP, a new farmer’s market is going to open next month in Urbana at the Landon House. This is in addition to the other farmer’s markets in Frederick County. I am pretty excited about this news since we live in the southern part of the county. Although that corner where the Landon House sits is kind of a disaster, traffic-wise.
The first farmers market in the southern region of Frederick County will open next month.Kevin Dolan, owner of the Landon House, is hosting the market. It will take place on the grounds of the historic house, which will also be open for tours.
“(We’re hoping to) make it a regular Sunday community event where people can come enjoy getting together with their neighbors and enjoy the Landon House property,” Dolan said.
He has commitments from four farmers for the season, as well as people selling baked goods and crafts.
As the market grows, he expects more will join. He is also looking for bands and groups interested in performing music on market days.
“It’s going to be a cool thing because it’s just a great place to come and hang out,” Dolan said.
Another new site is-Grace Community Church located on Alt 40 (across from Trout Liquors). They are advertising a Farmers Market on Friday’s from 3-7.

So excited! It will be nice to have another option closer to home. Thanks for the info:)
I LOVE the Shab Row/Everedy Square Farmers Market on Thursday afternoons! I’ve gotten tomatoes, lil red potatoes, sweet cherries, and much more!
