Zimmerman's Greenhouse and 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.

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.

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.

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

Local Maryland Farm Market Project

I decided to photograph as many local farm markets as possible for a little photo project.  With somewhat limited mobility, I try to get creative with new things to photograph.  Past projects included crepe myrtles, boat launches, beaches, local parks and more. 

I began my project on May 20th and got caught up in River Concert photos for a while, so I finally edited the photos.  Apologies for posting old pictures of fruits, vegetables and flowers that are now out of season, but there are still lots of other items to buy locally homemade or home grown.  

I started in Calvert County with Chesapeake's Bounty Farmers Market, just because I stopped at Annmarie Garden.   I wanted some good strawberries, yum.  I apologize if I am making you hungry.  No fruits or vegetables were harmed in the making of these photographs!  At least, not until later after I got home.
