Recruitment Opportunity: Dutch Country Market

The Dutch Country Market is a "public market" in an Old Safeway Store on Old Columbia Pike Road (Route 29) in Burtonsville, Maryland. It's open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I didn't count the "stalls" but there are a fair number. Many dessert counters, and large produce, meat, and dairy sections.

According to a flyer that was being passed out, the property owner is seeking approval to tear down this shopping center (which also has a Post Office, a Dunkin Donuts, and a number of other stores) in favor of a Walmart type big box store.

DC is pretty much disconnected from the agriculture around us, and as a result, doesn't have much of a food culture. Here's an opportunity to change that somewhat.


Baked Goods.


Decent prices.
