******************************************************
Welcome to the Olney Farmers
& Artists Market!
The Spring/Summer Market opened
Sunday, May 10.
NEW PANDEMIC HOURS are from 8 am to 1 pm for the month of May.
The Market is now a "Grab and Go"
market. So please, no lingering after you make
your purchases. Also, a reminder that social
distancing and masks are required!
Medstar Hospital workers will receive 20 percent discounts
during the first hour.
Welcome to the spring season of the Market! We're a Grab 'n Go Market for now, so we won't have our usual cafe seating or live music. Our Crafters are also on hold, until we get word from Gov. Hogan.
What's at the Market?
Strawberries, white and red potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, broccoli, radishes, lettuce, kale, sausage, ground beef, fresh poultry, maple syrup, honey, Vietnamese, Polish and Mediterranean cuisine, homemade scones, croissants, bread, cookies, fresh coffee, iced tea, pies, spices, crepes, omelettes and spring flowers and plants. We also have handmade masks and a wide variety of soaps.
BikeWerks will be at the market. Please contact Carl in advance 301-310-6765 before arriving.
Please don't forget masks, and social distancing are required.
Lastly, the Olney Market is donating produce to 3 families in need each week. If you know of someone who can use our help, text 202 257 5326 or email jterrymarket@gmail.com
Please be patient! We cannot have crowds, due to health concerns, so we must limit the number of customers at any given time. Monitors will be stationed at the main entrances to ensure that everyone is social distancing. After purchasing your items, please take them home, so that others can enter and enjoy the market, too.
Once the situation improves, we promise that it will be business as usual again.
Hope to see you at the Market!
Market runs rain or shine!
The Market has stopped pre-ordered boxes for now, but some vendors will be offering them instead. The Market will still be serving 3 families in need each week, with fresh produce donations. We are also partnering with Manna to serve our community.
The Olney Market is considered an essential service, under the Governor's orders. All customers and vendors are required to wear masks, and we'll provide gloves and a sanitizing station. Enjoy the fresh air, but please plan to 'Grab 'n Go' and social distance, until we get the all-clear signal.
There will be no music or chef's demo, nor will there be a children's tent for now.
IMPORTANT UPDATE ABOUT THE OPENING OF THE OLNEY
CRAFTS MARKET: IT IS ON HOLD, UNTIL WE GET THE ALL-
CLEAR SIGN FROM GOVERNOR HOGAN.
Also, the only vendors at the Market for now are those selling food and drinks, as well as other essential
services. The timing of our artists and craftspeople return will
be in compliance with State's guidelines on re-opening businesses.
