It’s guaranteed freshness at Rockville Farmer’s Market where produce is freshly picked each day. Take your pick of baked goods, cut flowers, bedding plants, herbs and so much more. Make a day of it every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. until November 18.

Montgomery Village Farmer’s Market

Montgomery Village Farmer’s Market offers a variety of organic meats, fruits and straight-out-of-the-oven sweet treats. Grab a freshly squeezed lemonade at the Carolina Squeeze stand. Then, choose a specialty soap for mom at the Mom’s Beauty Secret booth. Head here Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. until October 28.
