The Pikesville Farmer's Market offers a delightful Tuesday afternoon outing where kids can explore farm-fresh produce, sample local baked goods, and experience where their food comes from. The relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere makes it perfect for introducing children to local farmers, artisans, and the farm-to-table concept while enjoying the outdoors.
Early afternoon (2:00-3:30 PM) on Tuesdays works best before it gets too crowded and while vendor inventory is fullest. The market runs spring through fall, with peak variety during summer and early autumn harvest season.
The market operates only on Tuesday afternoons from 2:00-6:00 PM seasonally. Parking is available at the Pikesville location, and most vendors accept cash with limited card payment options.
This is a seasonal market typically operating spring through fall (approximately May through October or November depending on weather). Peak variety occurs during summer harvest months. Check ahead for exact opening and closing dates each year.
Grab pizza at Bill Bateman's Bistro (family-friendly sports bar with kids menu) or head to Chick-fil-A on Reisterstown Road for a quick post-market meal with the kids.
