Comments on: Does College Park Need a Farmer’s Market? http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2006/196/ Helping imagine a great college town for a great university Sat, 31 Jul 2010 05:10:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Shawn Magnuson http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2006/196/comment-page-1/#comment-1152 Shawn Magnuson Sun, 26 Nov 2006 23:28:58 +0000 http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2006/196/#comment-1152 Funny that College Park's farmer's market didn't turn up in the research for this post. I think the entry should be amended with the new information; the update could also address the question of why it is not located in a more downtown location. The farmer's market manager proved to be pretty helpful and easy to get in touch with when I had to contact him one time, so the research could start there.

If East Campus contains a town square then that would seem like a logical place to move CP's farmers market - especially if the district is filled with the older crowd the university is hoping to draw. College Park is still suburban so I imagine the farmers market wanted to locate where it is now because parking is convenient....

As it stands, there's not really an obvious place where it would be located, although I think that a place could be found. Perhaps in the parking lot behind Smoothie King/Hair Cuttery, adjacent to City Hall. Having been to the Farmers' Market in Madison as well, I think it would be a great thing for College Park.

While I am sure the market on Paint Branch is nice, it would be pretty cool to pick up some fresh veggies after breakfast at the Bagel Place on a lazy Sunday.

A fourth had been at The Shops at Prince George's, though it may have moved elsewhere this past summer. A third nearby farmer’s market is at Riverdale Park’s Town Center on Thursday afternoons.
