Mountain Fresh @ Oakland, MD!

Lined Up For Peaches & Apples!

LFLF took a day trip on Saturday to Deep Creek Lake & had a chance to stop in again at the Mountain Fresh Farmers' Market in Oakland, Maryland.  The market opens at 10AM and we got there around 11AM, so there were still a lot of folks shopping.  The orchard had customers waiting in line for peaches & apples the whole time we were there.  Several vendors had blueberries & raspberries.  

Shopping For Veggies

A couple of the vendors had pictures of their farms and it seems that many have high tunnels.  In chatting a little, it seems that they are also "ahead of schedule" on many crops. 

Alpaca & Wensleydale (!) Fiber and Yarn

This market is in a tourist area, so there are about 8 booths that are local arts & crafts ..... rag rugs, felting & fiber art, photography, fine wood turning, yarn, and soaps & candles. 

Pound Cake & Ginger Snaps - Mmmmmm!

The market also has several vendors who also sell baked goods.  LFLF picked up the last lemon pound cake and a couple of bags of ginger snaps (one of our favorites!) from the same lady we 've purchased from in the past.  Both goodies were excellent!
This true "tail-gate" market is in the shade and it's a good thing!  Temperatures climbed up to 100 degrees on Saturday ...... on our way back home in the afternoon, the truck registered 104 degrees on I68 & again on I79!   Wow.
