About Us

Central Farm Markets

was founded in 2008 by Debra Moser and Mitch Berliner. Bethesda Central Farm Market was the first market, which began in a small parking lot with 17 vendors. Today Central Farm Markets has three farm markets in Maryland and DC.

Debra and Mitch’s mission is to provide a professionally managed community venue where customers can purchase high quality, locally grown fresh and prepared food, and to support agricultural innovation, green practices and sustainability.

Each market supports its local community with activities, events and programming that help to educate, give back and fight hunger. We are very proud of our mix of high quality vendors, our staff and our communities that support us.

We look forward to meeting you at our markets and always welcome your comments and suggestions. You make a difference every time you buy local, adhere to green practices and support local farm innovation!
