Farmers Markets aren’t just a great way to get out in your community and enjoy the summer weather, they also offer a great avenue to support local farmers, growers and artisans by purchasing locally grown produce and products. Farmers markets stimulate the local economy, increase access to fresh food, preserve farmland and rural livelihoods and support healthy communities. The Thurmont Farmer's Market is located at the Municipal Parking Lot on South Center Street in front of the American Legion.

If you haven’t had a chance to visit the Thurmont Farmers Market, take some time on August 12 to check it out!
