She was 90. Karen and her late husband Harry Montgomery were fixtures at our Market for years. They couldn’t wait to bite into the Egg Stop’s Breakfast burritos on Sunday mornings and shop for our wonderful local produce. It was Karen who found our original Market site outside the old Pumpernickel’s Deli in October of 2007. When a county official insisted we would not be able to find a site or enough farmers, Karen proved they were wrong. Karen was a fighter; she was passionate about gardening, art, and French fries. She also loved swimming in her backyard pool in Brookeville. We will miss her dearly.

Thank you. SNAP: Yes, we take SNAP! Stop by the Info tent and ask for Charles for details. OVERFLOW PARKING: Please respect our neighbors in the Tall Timbers community, just across the street from our Market site. We ask that you not park there, since it can be difficult for them to get out. Instead, please use our overflow parking, just past our large parking lot, across from the hospital. 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:
STAY SAFE! PARKING IS ALWAYS FREE! Vendors are asked to stay until 1:10pm. There are 2 main lots, one outside the professional buildings on 108; the other opposite the Thrift Shop on Prince Philip. 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. THANK YOU!! ***Customers: Please do NOT remove barricades at our entrances and exits. These are meant to keep all of us safe. In the event of dangerous weather conditions, we'll post our decision on whether to close on our website, olneyfarmersmarket.com and on Facebook. NO PETS! We ask that you leave your pets at home. We allow service animals only.
