Dutch Country Farmer's Market (Laurel, MD)

Laurel, MD may be about 100 miles away from Amish Country, but it has one of the best Amish markets in this region -- the Dutch Country Farmer's Market on MD-198. And yes, the staff is mostly Amish.

With the motto "Fresh from PA Dutch Country," the market serves up fresh produce, baked goods, dairy products, organic meats, and candies.

Mmmm, chocolate...mmmm, bacon

There are also a few places to pick up a meal, including a restaurant specializing in Lancaster County (PA) recipes, a BBQ stand, and a shop with sandwiches and homemade ice cream.

Because the market is only open from Thursday to Saturday, it's often crowded and parking can be difficult sometimes on Friday and Saturday afternoons.
