Hereford Central Market will open June 1 in the former Hereford Seafood building on York Road, next to the Hereford Library.
Sue Carbaugh, of Monkton, will run the new market. She spent last summer under a tent next to Hereford Seafood, where she sold vegetables from Brad's Produce in Harford County.
This year, she'll move into an air-conditioned store and sell goods from Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative and Three Springs Fruit Farm in Wenksville, Pa.
"I tried multiple farmers in Baltimore County who had a credible product, but I needed quantity, quality and a willingness to deliver," she said. "These two in Pennsylvania were big enough to do that."
She is also offering shares in a Community Supported Market where participants get 21 weeks of vegetables and fruit for $550.
CSM shareholders pay up front and then stop by the market on either Wednesdays or Saturdays to pick up an order.
Carbaugh said participants can choose six to eight items each week. An item could be a quart of string beans or a container of tomatoes. CMA members receive $25 to $30 of vegetables each week, and they receive a 10 percent discount over market price.
The deadline to participate in the Community Supported Market is May 25.
Hereford Central Market, located at 16938 York Road, will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. during the week and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. It will be closed on Tuesdays.
For details, or to register for the CSM, call Carbaugh at 410-472-4096, 410-404-3501, or email her at smcarbaugh@gmail.com.
