ATTENTION VENDORS!   SPRING APPLICATIONS will be ready by the end of next week.  Look for them at olneyfarmersmarket.com.  Our Spring season kicks off on Mother’s Day.  Get your application in early!  We already have a waiting list in some categories.

VENDOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE:  We are looking for a few vendors willing to be consulted about Market issues and special events, like Mother’s Day and the Holiday Market.  This is a voluntary position that would not require any major time commitment.
Crafters who are interested should email [email protected].
Jewelers and Artists should email [email protected];  Food vendors and student volunteers who are interested should email [email protected].

LOOKING BACK AT 2025 AT THE MARKET: Our security and safety manager, Doug Terry, recalls two particularly satisfying events. First, with the help of two high school volunteers and parking coordinator Lenny Rosenberg, they were able to close a manhole that had somehow been left completely open on the sidewalk by the large parking lot.  A child could have fallen in the hole with disastrous results.  Also, Doug found a toddler and a baby who had been left alone in the same parking lot. The toddler somehow got out of the car and was crying for his Mom. Doug stayed with the children until the mother returned.  A reminder: never leave children alone in the parking area. Come to the Information tent, and get assistance. We will watch your children, either in your car or at the information booth.

SNAP:   Yes, we still offer SNAP benefits during the Winter Market.  This week, ask for Chris or Brooks at our Info tent.  

THANKS TO NICHOLAS BOSS:  We want to wish Nicholas, our former Treasurer, the very best in his new job.  We appreciate all his hard work over the past 2 years.

 
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)

HOPE TO SEE YOU ON SUNDAY!

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!!
