Same great farmers market, new location at Pike & Rose.
Pike Central Farm Market will be moving around the corner to the parking lot next door to Bark Social and on the side of Pinstripes this a Saturday Aug 28th.
Plenty of free parking and the same great farmers and artisan food crafters.
On Saturday, April 24th Pike Central Farm Market will reopen for its 10th season. Over 30 vendors will be at the market this year. The market features fresh fish and seafood, cheese, meats, dairy, eggs, baked goods, charcuterie, fermented foods, organic produce, fresh organically grown flowers and prepared foods to go. The hours are 9:00 am -1:30 pm every Saturday at Pike & Rose.
Covid protocols are still in place so masks are required to enter the market.
With help from Montgomery County, Councilmember Andrew Friedson, Governor Larry Hogan, and Federal Realty, Central Farm Markets and its Pike Central Farm Market at Pike & Rose thrived in 2020, despite the pandemic.
Mitch Berliner, owner and founder of the fifteen-year-old Central Farm Market said that other jurisdictions, such as Virginia, closed farmers markets, but Maryland and Montgomery County realized that farmers markets were essential to maintain the local food chain and keep local farmers farming.
“Bottom line, I’m super proud of how we handled the pandemic,” said Mitch. “We put in our own protocols before there were protocols. We enforced mask-wearing before the county did, and our patrons were extremely cooperative. As soon as we opened Pike Central in April and in our Bethesda market, we installed signs reminding people to social distance, eliminated sampling, and had one entrance/one exit to control the number of people shopping at the market. We also added prepared food ranging from Asian to vegan to Ethiopian, helping chefs and restaurants to stay afloat.”
Pike Central also offered contactless pickup and began a “farm-to-fridge” program. With volunteer help from ProFish, they’ve made thousands of deliveries since April.
Because the number of food insecure residents in Montgomery County has doubled during the pandemic, co-owner and founder Debbie Moser and Mitch made a $25,000 challenge gift to Manna Food Center, which farm market patrons generously matched. They also send produce to Manna weekly.
“I didn’t sign up for this as my retirement project; it’s not as much fun during Covid,” laughed Mitch, “but I absolutely love, love, love doing the markets.”
The Pike Central market returns to Pike & Rose April 24, but you can shop at their Sunday Bethesda Central Farm Market all year round.
The PIKE Central Farm Market is opening this weekend. Please pre-order from your favorite market vendors and review the market’s main page for contactless pick-up options, and market safety guidance. Masks are required for vendors and shoppers. https://www.centralfarmmarkets.com/preorders-at-pike-cfm/
