We went to Olney to celebrate the opening day of the Farmers and Artists Winter Market. This weekend kicked off its winter season with free tastings, special kids’ activities, musical entertainment and the best local produce. We snapped Rare Opportunity Farm’s Ruth Thompson, M&M Plants’ Margie McGaughan and Great Shoals Winery’s Stephanie Roche.

Held in the Sandy Spring Museum, the nostalgia of shopping among the treasures of this local community is an added treat. Here, Parick Design’s Scott Taft and Mike Murphy with Arizona Wood’s Robert Portanova.

Next month, the market will be recognized with a proclamation from the MoCo Council for its work promoting county business and serving the community. It will be opening every Sunday throughout the winter in addition to for select community events. Here, Pick of the Bay’s Patti and Tom Nigro.
