Special Independence Day holiday farmers market in Ocean Pines, this Saturday
Sunday, June 26, 2022
(June 27, 2022) Hundreds of shoppers are expected to gather this Saturday morning at the Ocean Pines Farmers & Artisans Market in White Horse Park.
"Our Independence Day holiday market is truly a feast for the senses, and it has become an undeniable tradition for so many families," Market Manager David Bean said.
The market is known for its abundance of fresh, local produce. Heaps of local sweet corn, rows of red tomatoes, and baskets of summer squashes and blueberries are just a few of the fresh items available from the market, perfect for a summer barbecue.
In addition to the fresh fruits and vegetables, jams, eggs, local honey and plenty of baked goods will be on hand this weekend.
Amish Friendship Bread is a bakery found in the green market loop in the middle of the market. Shoppers line up early to choose from the many flavors created by baker Jeanine Dufrene.
Dufrene said she sources from the produce merchants at the market to gather fresh fruits for her seasonal flavored breads.
"The peaches have been so good and are making wonderful peach bread for my customers,” she said.
The marketplace is also home to many artists, artisans and crafters.
"With over 100 artisan merchants participating at the holiday market, you won't find this selection of offerings anywhere else,” Assistant Market Manager John Chandler said. "Our artisans offer an ever-changing selection of unique gifts and crafts throughout the year.”
Donna Fuhrman has been sewing since she was a young girl. Her market boutique on the Artisan Plaza is adorned with her handmade art, including one-of-a-kind quilts, travel jewelry pouches, and baby burping blankets.
"I've continued to grow my sewing skills over the years, taking classes to sharpen my skills,” Fuhrman said.
Many community organizations will also be at the market, including the Town Cats, Kawanis Club, Jesse Klump Foundation, Friends of the Ocean Pines Library, and the Ocean Pines Volunteer Fire Department.
The Fire Department will sell raffle tickets for the chance to win a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport 4x4. The winning ticket will be drawn on December 10.
Along with the wide selection fresh produce, baked goods, artisans, and community organizations, Bean said all the merchants strive to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
"Whether it’s your first visit or you’re a weekly shopper, our market merchants will make your experience a memorable one,” Bean said. “They take great pride in the products they bring and are excited to share them with our shoppers.”
The Ocean Pines Farmers & Artisans Market continues to accept prospective merchant applications throughout the year.
The market is open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in White Horse Park. For more information, visit
