A new farmers market is coming to Mount Vernon this summer. The Mount Vernon-Belvedere Association is partnering with Midtown Baltimore to launch the Mount Vernon Farmers Market, which will be held every Thursday starting June 25.

Free and open to the public, the market will take place from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 100 W. Eager St., next to the Waxter Senior Center. This farmers market will help the local community access fresh produce and other products that have been difficult to come across since the closure of the neighborhood’s one grocery store in 2023.

Local farmers and other vendors will sell fresh fruits and vegetables, prepared foods, baked goods, and more. Visitors will want to return each week to see new vendors and attractions featured throughout the season. So far, vendors featured on the Mount Vernon Farmers Market website include Communitas Farm, Toads Wild Ride, Dmitri Olive Oil, Dear Globe, and Panzinos Rolls.

Organizers are looking for volunteers to help with market setup, promotion and outreach. Interested individuals can email [email protected].
