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

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

Spring! Summer! Spring! Summer! ¿Por qué no los dos? We've been getting both spring AND summer for a while...why not lean into it? You probably already have two kinds of jacket, an umbrella, and sunscreen riding around with you like we do, not to mention those reusable bags. Bring all that to the parking lot behind the Charles County Courthouse (209 Washington Ave., La Plata) on Saturday, May 30, 2026, 9AM - 2PM, and then look for the canopies and food trucks. Here's who'll b

We saw so many fun umbrellas and raincoats this past Saturday -- it was like a fashion show for water repellent! Starry night, Winnie the Pooh, a super happy flower...and a rubber ducky jacket paired with light-up boots? *chef's kiss* It looks like you'll probably have another chance to walk the runway if you head to the overflow parking lot on Talbot Street this Wednesday, 05/27/26, 9AM - 2PM. These folks will be your willing audience: Lempira Coffee Roasters Charles County

Pollinators...what would a farmers market be without them? Fun fact: Pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds are essential to the production of fruits, vegetables, grains, and anything that grows from the ground or depends upon food that grows from the ground. Including those tomatoes you're growing in your backyard. Want to support your local hard-working pollinators? Pick up some native flowers and plants at the Charles County Master Gardeners, University o

Little by little, the flowers start popping up out in the fields...kinda reminds us of Wednesday markets! Stop by and smell the...donuts! And bread! And books! And pick up some dinner fixings, especially if your dinner will involve crab and veg. We'll be out in the overflow parking lot Wednesday, May 6, 2026, 9AM - 2PM, or until the thunder rolls.

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
