It is Wednesday, my dudes. And more importantly -- for some of you, at least -- it is summer vacation. So that means no early alarm, a leisurely welcoming of the day with an iced something and/or a sweet or savory something, and a not-so-quick lap around the market. Orrrr you're taking a little break from work and making a speed run. Either way, you'll find us waiting for you Wednesday, June 30, 9AM - 2PM, in the overflow parking lot on Talbot Street in La Plata: Lempira Coff

Y'know, every weekend doesn't HAVE to jam-packed with excitement. Sometimes it's good to take a breath and just, like, chill. Take a stroll. Check in with friends. Enjoy the things you know you love, and maybe stumble across something new that brings you unexpected joy. We're so here for you if that's your plan. Come see us out behind the Charles County Courthouse complex on Saturday, 06/26/26, 9AM - 2PM. There may be some liquid sunshine, but is that a problem, really? These

It's mid-week and you need a break, some fresh air, and a little change of scenery. Great news! We know a place! Cruise over to the overflow parking on on Talbot Street (some call it "209 Washington Ave, La Plata") and check in with the 3rd Wednesday lineup, June 17, 2026, 9AM - 2PM. You'll be surprised at how much variety you can fit into a small space, and how fast you can go from "oh, I don't need anything" to "yeah, you're right, I DO need that!" Made Whole Bakery Billy t

Have you been watching those reels with chicks and ducklings in rainjackets? No? Ah, well, definitely do that, and then break out your rain boots and be like them. We'll be out behind the Charles County Courthouse complex Saturday, May 23, 2026, 9AM - 2PM.

It's the 4th Saturday of April and the traditional day to Celebrate La Plata, all caps! This year we're celebrating not just recovering from the 2002 tornado -- which is how CLP started, btw -- but 250 years of our part in the history of our nation. (Go ahead, try to pronounce "sesquicentennial" without stumbling.) Stop by to see us in the morning for the freshest products, then take a stroll over to Town Hall for the festivities. Or reverse that. We'll be open Saturday, Apri

April 22 is Earth Day -- the perfect excuse to get outside and enjoy nature's blessings! Step out to the overflow parking lot anytime 9AM - 2PM, take a few deep breaths of fresh air, and maybe find a goodie or two, all brought to you by the land, water, and sun, and delivered by these fine folk: Your Neighbor’s Farmstand Coastal Adornments Southern Maryland Crabs Ohana Snow Shaved Ice Made Whole Bakery Jacks Produce Farm #EarthDay #shopsmall #buylocal ...

What's in season in April, when Maryland can't decide if it's time to commit to spring? Not a lot, unless it's being grown in a greenhouse or hoop house! With the last hard freeze (hopefully) behind us, growers will be helping their seedlings find their new homes. Want to see what you can expect, and when? Check the "What's in Season" charts for a general idea, weather permitting. You know what's always in season? Buying local and supporting small businesses! You'll find a wh

We're so conflicted about Small Business Saturday. It's our last market day of the season and we miss our market fam and friends during the winter break. On the other hand, it's the start of the holiday season and a time to celebrate the growth and success we've experienced this year. A day dedicated to all our small businesses -- from this year's rookie microbusinesses to the veteran small businesses in downtown La Plata -- is the perfect day to do it! Stop by and see us, pi
