Potomac Farm Market Opens New Stand in N. Potomac

Just two weeks ago, Potomac Farm Market opened a new produce stand in our midst. Located next to Sunoco and Safeway at 12311 Darnestown Road, you'll see the vacant parking space now has new life. 

Potomac Farm Market stocks its stand with fresh, locally grown summer produce like corn, tomatoes, melons, peaches, summer squash, cucumbers and peppers.

The stand is stocked in the morning and not replenished, so arrive early for your fresh ears of corn or they may be sold out.

Starting sometime next week, the farmers market projects to have eggplant, plums and some other new seasonal produce.

"Also within the next week or two," said Potomac Farm Market employee, Seth Tobar, "we'll be getting our corn from Poolesville."  

According to Jack Talley, general manager of Potomac Farm Market, the market is here for the duration. That's good news for locals who like their produce close to home. 

"In the fall we'll be bringing in apples, squash, pumpkins and, come Christmas, we'll be selling Christmas trees," he said.

Potomac Farm Market is open daily 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
