Zimmerman's Produce

I keep going back to Zimmerman's Produce north of Leonardtown, when I am in the area.   They have a wonderful selection of flowers, art, local Amish garden supplies, produce, backed goods, lawn art, chairs and more.  There is always a lot to see.   These photos were taken in June and October In the fall, there are quite a few pumpkins to pick from.  The year I first discovered them, I had to buy pumpkins just to use them to make still lifes in colors like blue-grey, yellow, peach and white.  I never knew pumpkins were another color than orange, but now I find them all over.

Be sure you bring cash or check, because they don't take credit cards.  They are always pleasant when I visit and are willing to answer my questions or help me find something.  Give yourself some time to visit and explore because there are several greenhouses, the store and plants in the back and side of the building.

28025 Point Lookout Road, Leonardtown, MD 20650 (close to Loveville, MD), no phone, but you might be able to find more information from other web posts.

 Hours: 8am-6pm Monday to Saturday.

California Farmers Market (BAE Parking Lot)

 I photographed the California Farm Market in June.  The vendors were selling food, soap, and baked goods when I visited.  They were quite friendly and I talked to a few local folks.  The items vary by season.

Tractor Supply

I found Tractor supply in Hollywood Maryland listed with farm markets, well sort of.  I checked out the outside section anyway.  They did have some interesting chicken art and weather vanes along with the flowers.  Again, I am sure the flowers are different now.  There were quite a few Red White and Blue (purple) petunias at the time I visited.  I guess they are a small competitor of Lowes for flowers.

Joe Joes Fresh Produce Market

I visited Joe Joe's Fresh Produce after driving right by it by mistake.  To stop in, I recommend going slow when you are near it to make a quick turn and look for the back of the flower stand.  Shady Mile Drive is near the Harris Teeter fuel center, Cracker Barrel, Best Buy and G& H Jewelers.  They have a Facebook site, but I didn't find a website.

It's located at:

23183 Shady Mile Dr, California, MD 

The family run stand has some lovely flowers and unique lawn ornaments and a small building with produce.  They are open most days and use an honor system, if needed, with Zelle and Venmo.  Mom was very nice and explained the history of how their stand came about if you talk to her about it.  Joe Joe is their son, who loves flowers.  I found a cute litlle pond with a live white duck and a little waterfall.  She was very pleasant.  I visited in June so the flowers were different then and they probably have mums and pumpkins soon.  I lovely little market to tell your friends about.

Farm Market Project Barns at New Market

One of the larger farm markets in St. Mary's County is the Barns at New Market, at 29133 Thompson Corner Road in Mechanicsville, Maryland.  It was formerly the North County Farmer's market at the Charlotte Hall Library parking lot, but it expanded and moved to the new location in 2022.

Hours are:

Saturday 9-3 inside and outside

Sunday 12-4 inside only

Monday-Saturday 9-4 only some outside

The seasonal location probably is only open inside in winter, mid-January through March, so check later if you visit then.

We visited on May 30th, so the items for sale may be slightly different.

Saturday outdoor sales

Crafts for children

Candy

Vegetables

Garden spinners

sunflowers

Petunias

Two November 2025 artistic photos when they were closed.   I discovered it while hiking the Three Notch Trail, because there is a connecting boardwalk.
