Crossroads Farmers Market

Crossroads Farmers Market is tied directly to a nonprofit effort to build “a healthier, more inclusive food system” in the Takoma/Langley Crossroads area, giving this Wednesday market a mission that extends beyond weekly shopping. In Takoma Park, the market runs on Anne St. at University Blvd. E and returns each season from late April through late November. SNAP is accepted here, and the market is part of a broader food access network that also includes a multi-farm CSA with pickups around Takoma Park, Takoma, and Silver Spring. That combination makes Crossroads feel less like a standalone stop and more like one working piece of a neighborhood food system.

Why it matters locally

Takoma/Langley Crossroads is the community this market is built to serve, and that local focus is explicit in the market’s mission and programming. Crossroads Community Food Network describes the farmers market vendors as an essential part of its nonprofit work in this Maryland neighborhood, connecting farm sales to a broader push for a healthier, more inclusive food system.

The market also sits inside a larger set of food access efforts rather than operating on its own. Its CSA program gives members weekly boxes of local fruits and vegetables during market season, with pickup options spread across Takoma Park, Takoma, and Silver Spring. Public support from Montgomery County and the City of Takoma Park further ties the work to local infrastructure and local priorities around food access.

What you'll find there

Crossroads highlights a farm-connected mix shaped by produce, CSA sourcing, and relationships with growers the market team has visited in person. The named farms point to a lineup centered on fruits, vegetables, and pasture-raised poultry, with the market also seeking vendors offering bread, dairy, mushrooms, meats, and diverse fruits and berries.

• -Good Dog Farm supplies produce for the CSA program, making it one of the market’s core sources for fruits and vegetables.
• -Tuckey’s Mountain Grown also provides CSA produce and is described as growing fruit, berries, and vegetables.
• -Potomac Vegetable Farms is part of the market’s farm network, with the Crossroads team visiting its East farm in Vienna.
• -Ladybrook Farm is connected to the market through pasture-raised chickens seen during a Crossroads farm visit in Monkton, Maryland.
• -Montoya’s Farm is another grower in the market’s orbit, located in Virginia’s Northern Neck and included in Crossroads farm visits.

For shoppers considering the CSA alongside the market, the season runs from April 22 to November 25 and weekly boxes are picked up during market season at several neighborhood sites. The vendor application for the upcoming season also signals the categories Crossroads wants to expand, especially bread, dairy, mushrooms, meats, and more diverse fruits and berries.

The market itself runs weekly on Wednesdays through the season, opening April 22 and continuing through November 25. Crossroads’ most distinctive thread is how deliberately it connects shoppers back to the farms behind the tables. The organization publishes farm visits that take its team from Anne St. in Takoma Park out to places like Tuckey’s Mountain Grown near the Michaux State Forest and Gettysburg, Ladybrook Farm in Monkton, Potomac Vegetable Farms in Vienna, and Montoya’s Farm in Virginia’s Northern Neck. That travel pattern gives the market a particular feel: not just a place of sale, but a place where the nonprofit keeps tracing the route between neighborhood buying and regional production. Even the staff and ambassador roster reinforces that organized, people-powered structure around the market program.

Know before you go

No dogs and no restrooms are the two details most likely to change your visit plan here. Crossroads Farmers Market sets up at Anne St. at University Blvd. E in Takoma Park and operates on Wednesdays from 10:30am to 2:30pm during its April-to-November season.

If you are also considering the CSA, Crossroads runs pickups at the market site from 11am to 2pm and at additional neighborhood locations including Hodges Ln. at Holly Ave., 316 Tulip Ave., Yoga Heights Takoma on Carroll St. NW, 8206 Barron Ave, and 9003 Walden Road in Silver Spring. Omar Marroquin is listed as the Farmers Market Program Manager, and Liz Whitehurst is the CSA Coordinator.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Crossroads Farmers Market. The organization also highlights additional nutrition benefit programs in its food access work, including WIC Fruit and Vegetable Checks, Senior/WIC FMNP benefits, and Maryland SUN Bucks for families. Payment details are presented clearly enough on the market’s materials that shoppers can plan around benefit use.
