Shady Grove Farmers’ Market

I lived pretty much across the street from here for almost 2 years and never actually made it out here. Probably because of the random day they chose? Well I finally got to check out this farmers’ market last week since I was in the area. It’s located in the parking lot near Hopkins’ Rockville campus, you can see it from Key West. It was pretty small, only about 10 or so vendors, ranging from food trucks to bakeries to produce. I was not impressed by the produce available (small selection and priced even higher than most FMs I’m used to), but they had some interesting food trucks, clothing stores (?), and bakeries. I ended up getting a shrimp and fish taco salad from one of the trucks– I wish I could remember what it was called! But it was decently priced ($ 10), really fresh, and pretty delicious. All the vendors were incredibly nice, as they usually are at farmers markets. Oh yea, beware of the waves of ppl from nearby offices who seem to come in waves. I hate crowds.
