FRESHFARM Downtown Silver Spring Market

Good mix of prepared food as well as fruits , veggies and greens . Also several stands with craft beer and mead

From your favorite Bagels to the freshest vegetables and fruits to chilled yogurt! The SIlver Spring farmers market is highly recommended for anyone looking for a healthy switch or just hungry for an inspiring morning walk! Everything is weighed and priced. No need haggling over the price.

Excellent place to visit. Tons of options for produce, mushrooms, cheese.
CYM bagels are a must try.

Everything from produce (multiple vendors), decorative/house plants, multiple alcohol vendors, great meat vendors, and a couple of great places to eat. If you do stop by, grab some bagels early or empanadas later. Definitely worth it.

This was a cool farmers' market to visit with family. While the balance tilts more toward prepared food, there is a great contingency of local regular, non-pesticide, and organic farm stalls offering a variety of produce. There were at least a couple Amish stalls, including dairy stalls. I saw two butchers present. One coffee shop and a small variety of brewers and a couple distillers.

Downtown Silver Spring is a pretty good melting pot too. You see a good variety of people in the crowd, from locals and Washingtonians to folks from the surrounding counties, all kinds of cultures, and humorous new-to-the-area yuppies who seem periodically upset/sad that they couldn't use Apple Pay at all the stalls. Immediately surrounding the market is all that Downtown Silver Spring has had to offer since it was finished in the early 2000's.

It's a cool scene and compares very favorably to most other pop-up farmers' markets that are actually in DC. Most of those are smaller and have less options and much less produce and actual whole foods, and are focused on craft items and food.

See end for why only 4 stars. I have been coming here for over 10 years, and have always loved it! A great mix of farm and other vendors are here, several bake shops, distilleries, and more!
I am glad that the market continues, and has restrictions for safety. At least half of the vendors from other years continue to sell here, and there are even some new ones.
BUT they do not allow any eating
anywhere in the market! There are tables around the edge of the plaza recently added, and they are 6 ft apart. Why can we not eat there? The rule is strictly enforced. The tables meet guidelines !!
🤬🤬🤬🤬
I hope they can change this rule to earn that last star.

Many stalls with fresh local produce, meat cheese, herbs, plants, cut flowers, honey, meat, cheese, etc. Employees are friendly as helpful.
