Gaithersburg Farmers Markets announce summer schedule and changes to market money program
Gaithersburg Farmers Markets have announced their summer schedule and updates to the Maryland Market Money program, effective June 16. The Main Street Farmers Market operates every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., while the Casey Community Center Farmers Market is open Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
According to the City of Gaithersburg, "The Maryland Market Money (MMM) program will implement a $20 daily match cap per shopper because of budget constraints and increased demand. To help support local shoppers, the City of Gaithersburg will add an extra $5, bringing the total available match to $25 per benefit, per market day. This enhancement ensures the program remains accessible to more participants. Learn more at www.marylandmarketmoney.org."
