The market is open 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays through Nov. 21, in the jury parking lot at East Jefferson (MD 28) and Monroe streets in Rockville Town Center. 

Fall offerings include apples, cider, gourds, potatoes and pumpkins. The market also features plants and flowers, baked goods, local beer and spirits, meat, and coffee. 

Now in its 15th year, the Eat Fresh Rockville and Maryland Market Money program removes economic barriers for food-insecure shoppers by increasing access to fresh produce and increasing purchasing power. Customers can receive a dollar-for-dollar match of up to $15 weekly when they shop with SNAP/EBT (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program/Electronic Benefits Transfer) and WIC-FVC (Women, Infants and Children-Fruit and Vegetable Checks) at the market. 

Matching funds can be used to purchase locally grown and produced items including fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese, dairy, baked goods, eggs and honey. The program aims to fight hunger while investing directly in farmers, strengthening the local food system. Customers can stop by the market tent, located at the market entrance, for more information.
