We are so excited to bring you another summer of field-fresh tasty treats at Chocolates and Tomatoes Farm! On Opening Day, you can expect these freshly harvested treats: strawberries, rhubarb, carrots, radishes, cucumbers, broccoli, arugula, salad mix, collard greens, baby spinach, green kale, scarlet kale, spring onions, candy yellow onions, maybe more and herbs (tarragon, peppermint, chocolate mint, anise hyssop, lemon balm). We will also have all the other tasty treats as indicated below (mushroom types: cremini, shitake, oyster).


Signs lead you to the market

Saturdays, 9am-1pm, Mid-May through Mid-September

  • Ready to serve you rain or shine (unless lightning or high winds)

  • Turn in at 7957 Hollow Road, Middletown, MD 21769

  • Drive past the farm tents and park just on the other side in the grass

  • If you ordered ahead, come up to the register and tell us who you are (usually items ready for ordering on Mondays; only a few items up for opening day)

  • If you want to browse, come on under the tents and take a look

  • Ask questions about the produce, your garden, our farm, cooking classes, and chocolates -- Chef/Farmer Mark will be happy to share what he knows

  • Most forms of payment accepted

  • NEW: Gift Certificates for the Farm Market!


Live Here, Grow Here, Sell Here


Most of what we sell at our Chocolates and Tomatoes Farm On-Farm Market, we grow right here, in the fields and high tunnel you see around you when you visit us!

  • Throughout the season, the fruits, herbs, and vegetables sold under the tents will change depending on what is ripe and ready for picking that week.

  • We use sustainable growing practices with no chemicals.

  • We have compostable bags, but encourage you to bring reusable ones too.

  • Most weeks we will have house-made sourdough bread, local honey that comes partly from our hives, and house-made artisan chocolates (with flavors that rotate during the season).


Partnering to Sell Other Local Treats

We grow and make lots of things, but we there are only so many hours in the day. So, we partner with other local folks too. You can regularly find:

  • Locally raised farm-fresh eggs

  • Locally grown mushrooms (opening day varieties are cremini, shitake, oyster)

  • Locally made baked goods (our regulars will be happy to know that Chef Missy from The Preppy Chef and Chef Elise from Hen & Hearth are back this year!). We know several canine friends that crave Chef Missy's dog treats!


Join a Culinary Adventure, Nurture Your Inner Chef

  • We continue to offer cooking classes (can you believe it is Year 3 of The Learning Kitchen?) Summer classes are mostly on Sunday afternoons, Monday evenings, and Thursday evenings. Contact us if you want to book a private class for your family, coworkers, or customers.


  • NEW THIS YEAR AND NOT YET SOLD OUT (as of the day I posted this blog):

  • Some Kitchen favorites have seats left too (but don't wait too long):

  • Gift cards for The Learning Kitchen at Chocolates and Tomatoes Farm are good for one year. Classes are generally offered mid-February through mid-December.
