Buying local foods is a simple way to improve your health, your community, and the environment all at the same time!

The Ocean Pines Farmers & Artisans Market supports family-based farming, farmers, and food producers of the Eastern Shore. Cutting out the middleman allows direct contact and feedback between customers and producers, allowing area residents the opportunity to ask questions and gain knowledge about how their vegetables are grown and their meat is produced. Cutting out the middleman not only helps the local community but reduces food packaging and food miles, thus reducing vehicle pollution, noise, and fossil fuel use.
