Now in its 33rd year, the Baltimore farmers' market boasts more than 80 vendors peddling fresh produce, meat and fish, baked goods, flowers and crafts — not to mention hot, ready-to-eat food. The market typically runs each Sunday from spring into winter. City officials estimate the market draws more than 200,000 patrons a year, with attendance topping 8,000 on some peak days.
"We're a one-stop shopping location," said Carole Simon, who manages the market for the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.
Lars Turner and Bree Murphy could attest to that. They came to pick up eggs, broccoli, collard greens, carrots and onions — and some fresh meat."I had a hankering for breakfast sausage," explained Turner, 32, of South Baltimore. He and Murphy said they were relative newcomers to the market, having moved to Baltimore recently from Texas."There's other markets out there, but this is the largest," said Murphy, 32. The couple said they especially savored the freshness of the produce, since they'd grown their own before moving here.
