ATTENTION VENDORS!  Winter Applications are now online at olneyfarmersmarket.com   The new season starts the second Sunday in November. Also a SAFETY REMINDER: vendors must NOT move their vehicles until 1:10pm.  This is so we can safely clear out children first.  In an emergency, come to the Info booth. Also, our vendor party is this Sunday, starting  at 1:15.  Bring something delicious! Market will provide Carl’s sausage, lasagna and Caprese. 
OUR HOLIDAY MARKET is set for the first Sunday in December.  A reminder that our HOURS CHANGE FOR THIS ONE DAY ONLY: 11A to 2 PM to accommodate Santa’s schedule.  Vendor Market fees are due in advance.  Look for a hot chocolate bar, along with smores and chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Dozens of food vendors, crafters and farmers have already signed up to participate.  You’ll be able to shop til your drop for one of a kind, handmade items. And we’ll keep you warm! 

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:

• Fruit and Vegetable scraps
• Cooked Food

• Dairy (cheese and yogurt)
