Govanstowne Farmers' Market

Support Local Business

connecting local farmers, ENTREPRENEURS, and small businesses to our community.

 Each week, vendors from all over the Baltimore region come together for the afternoon to provide stimulation to our local economy.  Many studies show there are real economic, environmental and personal benefits to shopping locally in your community.  Therefore, you'll find, many of our vendors are based in Baltimore City and our own neighborhood of Govans!  6 of our vendors have gone on to brick and mortar stores after starting their business at our market.  Our vendors are new farmers, environmentalists, parents, artists, educators, and most importantly, they are local residents.  Help build our community's wealth by shopping local each week and grow your business by participating in our market!
