Come see us at the market!
The Takoma METRO station (along with the Silver Spring, Forest Glen, Wheaton, & Glenmont stations) will be closed Labor Day weekend, so you may need to arrange alternative transportation that Sunday.

Market Rules
The market operates on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. No bagging or selling may take place before 10 a.m. This gives all vendors an equal chance to set up. Farmers may continue selling after 2 p.m. but must be packed up and off the street by 2:30 p.m. when Laurel Ave. reopens.
Dogs are not allowed in the marketplace. The market is teeming with children and food, and dogs represent both health and safety risks.
Only food and agricultural products may be sold at the market. Crafts may not be sold. Vendors selling prepared foods, such as baked goods, jams, cider and dried herbs, or certain other agricultural products, such as honey, eggs and meat, must obtain the Montgomery County Health Permit and other county or state licenses as required.
Interested in promoting something at the market? The farmer's market rents the street from curb to curb and no other activities are permitted in this space. The City of Takoma Park allows non-profit groups to set up on the sidewalk outside the church to distribute information or sell something as a fundraiser. Space is first-come first-serve. Promoting a for-profit business or selling anything for profit on the sidewalk is prohibited.
Gleaning
Farmers at the Takoma Park market have a long tradition of donating perishable food at the close of the market to the Shepherds Table, which provides meals to needy people in the Takoma Park-Silver Spring area. Members of the Friends Meeting serve as volunteers to collect and transport the food.
