Frostburg Farmers' Market

The Country Club Mall hosts the broader Allegany market network in summer, but Frostburg’s winter market shifts to Mountain City Traditional Arts on Main Street, with Friday shopping at 14 S. Water Street and additional first-and-third-Saturday hours nearby. That setup gives this market a cold-season identity that feels tied to downtown Frostburg rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule. Within that window, the market brings together produce growers, meat and egg farms, baked goods, flowers, roasted coffee, houseplants, and body care makers under one local banner.

Why it matters locally

Frostburg’s market is part of the Allegany Mountain Fresh network, which runs both summer and winter markets across Allegany County, including Frostburg, Cumberland, LaVale, and West Cumberland. In Frostburg, that means local shopping continues from November through May instead of ending with the outdoor season.

The vendor mix also reflects a producers-only emphasis that welcomes farmers, craft vendors, and value-added products. That shows up in the range of sellers connected to this market, from vegetable farms and full-diet farms to coffee roasting, handmade floral bouquets, natural personal-care goods, and pet products. For Frostburg shoppers, the market’s value is practical: it keeps locally made food and goods in circulation through the winter schedule.

What you'll find there

The mix here leans broad rather than narrow, with farms and specialty makers covering fresh ingredients, pantry staples, plants, flowers, and household-use goods. Several vendors span multiple categories, so a single stop can cover vegetables, eggs, meat, baked items, coffee, and nonfood basics.

• -Browse Dovedale Greenhouse for house plants, herbs, potted flowers, and summer berries.
• -Pick up all natural bug spray, lotion, soap, toothpaste, and more from Wyner's Haven.

Seasonally, the market is part of a larger calendar: summer markets run May through October at multiple locations, while winter markets run November through May. A monthly Saturday option is also listed on the first and third Saturday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at Mountain City Traditional Arts.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest visit-planning detail if you usually shop markets with a pet along. The winter season runs from November to May, with Friday hours at 14 S. Water Street and an additional first-and-third-Saturday market at Mountain City Traditional Arts.

This is a market where the vendor mix goes beyond produce alone, so it makes sense to plan for a wider basket: vegetables, meat, eggs, baked goods, coffee, plants, body care, flowers, and dog products all appear in the current lineup. The market also invites inquiries from prospective vendors and people with questions about its farmers or operations.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Frostburg Farmers' Market. Payment details are otherwise presented clearly enough for shoppers to plan purchases, though the standout access point here is SNAP availability during the winter market season.
