Situated in the parking lot between the Parade Field (Cooper Rd) and the Fort Meade Museum, we are only a few minutes from the commissary. Stop by on your lunch hour and pick up fresh veggies and bread or fruit for dinner!
Several new vendors are in the process of getting approved and will be joining soon, but come on out! You won't leave empty-handed!

The market is in the center of Fort Meade, just next to the Parade Field, in the parking lot next to the Ft. Meade Museum and Smallwood Hall, just a few minutes from the Commissary. We are actively filling new vendor slots, and the will to make this market a permanent fixture at Fort Meade is strong, so come out and support us and watch us grow! We have lovely products already, so you will not go away empty handed!
