Overlea Farmers' Market returns

All over the county, state and nation, the long-awaited farmers’ market season is in full swing.

In recent years, Overlea Farmers’ Market is one of eastern Baltimore County’s prize possessions and highlights of the summer months.

Back for its ninth year, Overlea Farmers’ Market began June 8 and will run until Oct. 26. It reconvenes every other Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on parking lot of Natural History Society of Maryland, located at 6908 Belair Road in Overlea.

The dates for the remaining farmers markets are:

July 6 and 20

Aug. 3, 17 and 31

Sept. 14 and 28

Oct. 12 and 26

Enjoy fresh local seasonal produce, baked goods, coffee, pastured eggs and chicken, hot foods, fresh flowers, fresh bread, sauces, local honey, jams, olive oil, seasonings and more.

This market prides itself on featuring local products. Returning this summer is Kids Activity Table and themed market dates.

“My favorite part about the farmers market, and what it means to me at least, is community connections,” Overlea Community Association President Melissa Davis said.

The Farmers’ Market organizers expressed gratitude toward the Baltimore County government for its sustained funding and support. For more information and details, call 410-322-1273 or email overleafarmersmarket@gmail.com.
