If you happen to find yourself in Olney this weekend, or really any weekend this summer, then you’re in luck, because chances are the Olney Farmers and Artists Market will be up and running. It’s no secret that Olney is home to one of Maryland’s coolest restaurants, but this market is guaranteed to take your weekend experience to a whole other level with all the fresh produce, live music, fun activities, and unique vendors you could ask for. Open year-round, rain or shine (or snow), this farmers market in Olney, Maryland shines a spotlight on local farmers, artists, craftsmen, and businesses. It’s absolutely worth the Sunday morning drive.
There are dozens of vendors who gather every Sunday morning in downtown Olney, rain or shine! There’s always bound to be something new to discover whenever you visit.
The produce is piled high but it tends to sell out quickly, so be sure to arrive early! Of course, it’s all fresh and local, so it really can’t be beat.
Some mornings the local wellness center offers free yoga classes in the field next to the market, which is a great way to get up and stay active while you’re enjoying the company of other market patrons.
You can also grab some of the best breakfast in town, with vendors wrapping breakfast burritos, brewing coffee, and making fresh waffles. It’s always nice to start your Sunday morning with a great meal, in particular…
…When you have live music to enjoy it over! The performers will vary depending on the day, but on a bright summer morning there just isn’t anything quite like a mellow tune being plucked out on a guitar while you enjoy your coffee outside.
In addition to your usual farmer’s market fare of produce and food and music, Olney offers local artists and craftsmen to showcase their talents and sell all sorts of unique wares. There’s even a bonsai vendor, if you decide you want to put your green thumb to the test!
