In 1988 we decided to venture into the retail produce business. We started out with a small roadside stand, which we added on to four times to accommodate our growing business. In 2009 we demolished the old stand and dairy barn and constructed a beautiful new building. We currently grow five acres of fresh market fruits and vegetables. In addition to delicious produce, we sell a variety of local g​oods.


OUR PRODUCTS

FRESH PRODUCE

The produce available at the market includes blueberries, cantaloupe, cherries, corn, cucumbers, green beans, onions, peaches, peppers, tomatoes, watermelon, yellow squash, zucchini and more. We have three high tunnels to extend our season and all of the produce in them is naturally grown (untreated seeds, no conventional chemicals are used). We strive to grow our field vegetables (cantaloupes, watermelons, squashes​) in the same manner, although we do occasionally use treated seeds. We use the same natural fertilizers for both our high tunnel and field crops. Produce that isn't grown by us is sourced locally from other MD farms and, depending on the time of year, out-of-state farms as well.

 

LAPP FAMILY BAKERY

Although Mr. and Mrs. Lapp retired from their wholesale business, they have passed along their knowledge and recipes to a new family. John and Priscilla Lapp took over for Mervin and Sue in the summer of 2018, and we now carry their baked goods. Everything is baked fresh on Thursdays and delivered to us Friday morning. We carry a variety of fruit and cream pies, sweet breads, cookies, whoopie pies, pizza dough, and granola.

 

KRASZEWSKI FAMILY FARM

Kate's husband, Steve, grew up on a cattle farm in Corning, NY. In 2010 we began selling his family's beef products. Their animals are pasture-raised and supplemented with local grain during the winter months. The beef is all-natural, no added hormones or antibiotics.

 

BRYAN'S MEAT CUTTING

Located in Milan, PA, Bryan's is where we have our beef butchered. A family-run business established in 1981, Dan Bryan is an excellent butcher. Besides having our beef butchered there, Dan also supplies our market with pork from various small farms throughout Pennsylvania. As with Steve's parents' animals, the pork is all-natural, no added hormones or antibiotics.

 

NICE FARMS CREAMERY

There's nothing better than farm-fresh milk! This Federalsburg, MD dairy provides us whole milk and chocolate milk, as well as a variety of plain and fruit yogurts.

 

CHESAPEAKE BAY FARMS

Smooth, creamy, and delicious! We love this farm's ice cream! We carry eight different flavors that are available in pints.

 

EVE'S CHEESE

Eve’s Cheese (named after the family’s award-winning Jersey cow) is made with Grade-A milk from a Kent County (MD) dairy. The milk is transported to an Amish cheese maker who handcrafts the milk into Eve's Cheese. We sell a variety of their cheddar cheeses.

 

A LITTLE LOVELY COFFEE SHOP

Located at the Queenstown Outlets, this wonderful coffee shop supplies us with amazing iced coffee and tea. Every weekend we sell out of their Peach Green Tea Lemonade! Give it a try!

 

BACKYARD JAMS & JELLIES

We carry a variety of jams and jellies from this award-winning, Delaware based business.

 

LOCAL HONEY

The honey comes from hives located within a few miles of the farm! It's fantastic!

 

AND OF COURSE, DON'T FORGET THE SNOW CONES!

Kate wanted a business of her own when she was growing up at the market, so when she was thirteen she bought a snow cone machine and got to work. Little did she know that 28 years later they'd still be a hit.

In 2021 the local TV station interviewed us, so for a full overview of the market be sure to check it out!
