You’ll find meat and produce from Singh Sugar Maple Farm in Marriottsville, Md.; Sharrah Orchards in Orrtanna, Pa.; Birdland Pastures from Manchester, Md.; Hog Haven Farm from Goochland, Va.; Garner’s Produce from Warsaw, Va.; and Pecan Meadow Farm in Shippensburg, Pa.

Other vendors include Two Story Chimney Ciderworks from Gaithersburg; Tae-Gu Kimchi from D.C.; ; Finesse Essential Body from Upper Marlboro; and D.C.-based Jarabe Gourmet Pops, which sells Mexican-style ice pops called paletas.
