Also La Table du Chateau expands to 2 tents, one featuring Chicken ‘n Waffles.

Come to the Info booth, if you need help finding a specific vendor. VENDOR ALERT: DON’T FORGET THE 1:10 RULE STARTS THIS SUNDAY! NO MOVING YOUR VEHICLES UNTIL THEN.

VENDOR ALERT! A reminder that all vendors are required to have weights of at least 25 lbs 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:
STAY SAFE! PARKING IS ALWAYS FREE! During the regular season starting on May 10, vendors are asked to stay until1:10pm. 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. THANK YOU!! ***Customers: Please do NOT remove barricades at our entrances and exits.

We ask that you leave your pets at home. We allow service animals only. Note to Vendors: Remember that every tent must have at least 25 pounds of weight per tent leg. Thank you for your cooperation.
