Residents can enjoy local produce and products at farmers markets throughout the county, something the Anne Arundel Economic Development Corp. says supports small businesses and the county economy.
Vendors at the county markets can only sell goods they produce, grow, or harvest and not items they have purchased and plan to re-sell, according to the development corporation, which produces an Arundel Grown Guide, a directory of locally grown and produced goods in the county. To see the listing, go to aaedc.org/agriculture/farmers-markets/agriculture-guide/.
From milk and cheese to beef, pork, fermented food and more, there is something for everyone made in the area. Here’s a listing of markets in the county:
