Hereford Farm Market

For Parkton residents looking to eat locally and support Maryland agriculture, Hereford Farm Market is a reliable source of fresh, in-season food from farms in the surrounding region.

The market schedule is Sat: 9:00 AM-12:00 PM, May 9 - Oct 31. Early shoppers typically find the largest selection before popular vendors sell out.

Farmers markets like Hereford Farm Market represent a fundamentally different way of accessing food compared to a supermarket. When you shop at Hereford Farm Market, the person selling you tomatoes is often the same person who planted them — a level of transparency and traceability that industrial food systems cannot replicate. That direct relationship is what draws many Parkton residents to the market week after week.

The selection at Hereford Farm Market changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs. Peak summer brings the widest variety — tomatoes, peppers, corn, stone fruits, and squash. By fall, the market shifts toward storage vegetables, apples, pears, preserves, and baked goods that make use of seasonal harvests. This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.

Hereford Farm Market is committed to serving all members of the Parkton community. SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted, meaning nutrition assistance recipients can use their benefits to buy fresh, locally grown produce and other eligible items directly from vendors. These programs reflect a broader commitment to food access that many farmers market organizers across Maryland have prioritized in recent years.

Hereford Farm Market supports the livelihoods of independent farmers and food producers in the Parkton area while giving shoppers a meaningful alternative to industrially produced food.

Hereford Farm Market accepts SNAP/EBT, ensuring that access to fresh, local food is not limited to those who can pay with cash or card.
