AFTER FURTHER REVIEW,  we’ve decided photographing at the Market is fine.  The exception is if a vendor asks you not to take photographs or posts a sign outside their booth.  Of course, taking photos of minors without written permission is NOT permitted.


Yoga! Join us at The Olney Farmers Market each Sunday at 10am for community yoga! This is an all levels class adaptable for every body and all levels.  We will be in front of the Thrift Shop in the wide open field.  All are welcome and class is free as sponsored by Medstar Health!  Come get your veggies, do your yoga, & see your community!
 
Please bring your own mat or beach towel.  Please be courteous and only sign up to hold the spot if you know you can be there.  Class is free but pre-registration is required.  https://upliftyoga.net/schedule/

AUGUST 7th:  NIGHT MARKET AND MOVIE NIGHT
The Movie is ‘Encanto’, perfect for families.  Enjoy delicious Market cuisine, and shop among our juried Crafters; then enjoy the movie.   
Anyone in need should come to the Info tent for a discount coupon. Special thanks to the Olney Civic Fund for making this possible.  And thanks to Neil Rubenstein (All Earth Desserts) for handling the production.

VENDOR ALERT!   A reminder that all vendors are required to have weights of at least 25 pounds per leg, no exceptions!  In the event of strong winds, you will be asked to take down your tent.  This is for everyone’s safety.  Anyone who refuses to comply will be subject to termination.  We just can’t take any chances.  Thank you.

FOOD SCRAPS: As part of a Montgomery County-sponsored pilot, Compost Cab will accept food scraps 
from our customers. Look for their tent in the rear of the Market. You may drop off:

NO PETS PLEASE!

DONATIONS WELCOME!   Please consider a donation to our 501-C-3, Friends of the Olney Farmers Market.  The Market provides vouchers for fresh produce to those in need.  This season, we’ve given out more vouchers than ever before. It would be great to replenish our fund.  We also need funds to support our music program and our children's tent.
Checks can be mailed to PO Box 1787, Olney, MD 20830. We also accept donations at our Info tent.  You may also use the Donate button at the top of this newsletter.
