Anne Arundel County Farmers Market

In 1992, the second building was dedicated by County Executive, Robert R. Neal and AACFM was privatized and incorporated. AACFM is now an Agricultural Service Corporation running the market for its membership.

The AACFM at the Riva site, now, has over 50 vendor members. It is open two days a week in the summer, on Saturdays and Tuesdays. A large variety of items are now being offered and it has one of the longest market seasons in the state, opening in April and continuing until the Saturday before Christmas.

In 1994, AACFM dedicated both buildings to the memory of Michael R. Cirino, The County officer who helped in the starting of our Market and was the first Market Manager. AACFM participated in the state WIC program, to provide fresh fruit and vegetables to women, infants and children. In 2004 the federal and state governments passed the senior SMNP program to help elderly eat fresh produce by redeeming coupons at the farmers markets.
